MEMORANDUM
To: Yeimy Guzman, Finance Director
From: Michael Chen, CRA Executive Director
Date: March 4, 2025
Re: Real Time Marketing Group (RTMG) Invoices
RTMG has been a vendor to the CRA for many years, dating prior to my arrival in Dania
Beach. The CRA has used RTMG to develop and execute (post) the CRA’s social media
outreach and maintain the PATCH website. In past years, they also led our social media
promotion campaigns for the CRA’s Dania After Dark and Arts & Seafood events.
Since I have been at Dania Beach, their contract was administrated by K. Weekes.
Kathleen never pressed RTMG for their COI.
In FY2025, we exercised a 6-month extension of the RTMG contract pending an RFP for
a new vendor. The extension has a higher focus on the Insurance section of the contract
and the limits were expanded/updated to our current requirements by the City Attorney.
The extension was approved by the CRA Board on January 14, 2025, and we processed
the execution, which was completed on February 6. We also requested the COI as
evidence for their insurance. After several delays, we were advised by RTMG that they
do not have liability insurance and, as a sole proprietor, they are not required to carry
workman’s comp. On February 24, I advised RTMG to stop any further work as we cannot
continue the contract without insurance.
RTMG needs to be paid for their work completed for January and February, and the CRA
approves the payment of their outstanding balance of $4,954 ($2,477/month)..
We request your approval to pay the outstanding balance to RTMG.
Approved
Yeimy Guzman, Finance Director
