This decision was made based upon revised <br />long term strategic objectives of FPL. <br />We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support and interest In MBR <br />Services. We will miss working with you In the future and developing a long term relationship. <br />Please do not hesitate to call us if we can be of any assistance or if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />_/ <br />ry Fink <br />General Manager <br />8401 N.W. 53 Terrace, Suite 208, Miami, FL 33166 <br />305-S92-9922 - Fax: 305-592-3991 <br />Commissioner Adams inquired why Option 2 was better, and <br />utility services Director Terry Pinto explained that we had looked <br />at several options and felt that when we analyzed cost overall it <br />was more cost effective to keep some supervision and retain the <br />turn-on/turn-off abilities and just subcontract out the meter - <br />reading. He wanted it understood that there was no dissatisfaction <br />with the performance of the County employees and added that the end <br />product would not be any better by hiring a private company to read <br />the meters, but economically it will be better for the County. <br />Staff is proposing a one-year contract and four-year renewals at a <br />maximum increase of 3%. We consider it to be a trial situation, <br />and if it does not work out, it will be easy to resume doing it <br />ourselves. <br />Director Pinto advised that we are benchmarking each part of <br />our operation to see if we can cost-effectively subcontract it out. <br />If we can and there's a savings, then we will recommend doing it. <br />52 <br />July 18, 1995 <br />P-02 <br />
