BACKGROUND The City of Miami, in conjunction with the Miami River Commission and Miami -Dade County, have worked together to research and devise a long-term plan to guide growth and development along the 5.5 - mile length of the Miami River. Resulting from this effort, the Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan was created to provide a framework for the future development and enhancement of the Corridor. Subsequently, the City and the Urban Infill Working Group determined that there was a need for a detailed study of the various commercial activities occurring within the Corridor to culminate in a program of revitalization strategies that support growth throughout the area. Services of a qualified and experienced economic consultant or team having prior experience performing economic studies, marine - related commerce and industry and urban land use and zoning studies were sought. To address this need, RFP 02-03-091 was issued and seven (7) Proposers responded, however, two (2) Proposers were deemed non-responsive as one Proposer did not meet minimum qualifications, while the other failed to submit its fees in a separate sealed envelope, as required. Therefore, the Evaluation Committee evaluated a total of five (5) responsive Proposers. Following two (2) evaluation meetings, the Committee short-listed to two (2) firms, and conducted oral presentations. Following these oral presentations on June 24, 2003, the Committee completed its evaluation and recommended Innovative Economic Development Resources, Inc., and Bay Area Economics, in rank order. The Committee further recommended that in the event that a fair, competitive and reasonable agreement should not be reached with the top-ranked firm, Innovative Economic Development Resources, Inc., the City'negotiate with the second -ranked firm, Bay Area Economics.
