Resolution approving the Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) Contract No. W1091 for one (1) year term with a one (1) year renewal option; and authorizing the City Manager to exercise the option to renew the contract upon expiration of initial term.  The DOC has an inmate labor program through which they supply a five (5) person work squad and a paid Department of Corrections work squad supervisor to municipalities needing minimally skilled labors.  The work force is needed to supplement City Grounds Maintenance crews whose workload has increased considerably over the last few years with the addition of twelve (12) Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) properties, Midtown Center, North Street Park, Old Daytona, Yvonne Scarlett Golden Center and other areas of landscaping right of way's.  The annual cost to the City for the DOC work squad is $57,497, which compares favorably with an estimated cost of over $190,675.14 to engage five (5) Maintenance Worker I laborers and one (1) Maintenance Supervisor II employees at the respective minimum City wage rates.  Funds are available in the general Fund.
