accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18 of the Miami City
Code.

Chairperson
Terry Kwong, Chief Accountant, Finance Department
Thomas Flores, Assistant Chief, Fire Department
Victor Marzo, Architect II, Public Works Department
Frank Moore, captain, Fire Department
Julio Boucle, PE, URS Corporation
After certification and initial evaluation, the Selection
Committee personally interviewed twelve (12) firms in accordance
03- 066
with the requirements and selection process outlined in the
Request for Proposals. Firms were then selected after ranking.
The three (3) top ranked firms selected are as follows:
1 M.C. Harry & Associates, Inc
2 Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, Inc
3 Ferguson Glasgow Schuster Soto, Inc.
The firm selected to begin the negotiations is the top ranked
firm, M.C. Harry and Associates, Inc. The resolution provides for
the City Manager to negotiate an agreement with the selected firm
for the professional services. If the City Manager and the top
ranked firm can not negotiate, the negotiations will terminate and
will begin negotiations with the second ranked firm. This process
may continue until a contract acceptable to the City has been
executed.
