Gimenez City Manager EacLosuREs: Schedule, Public Notice Ad, List of Registered Raaspondents An item regarding the status of the Watson Island Request for Proposals ("RFP") has been placed on the May 10th City Commission meeting agenda. A public hearing, duly advertised for that day, will be held to discuss whether a fish market sliall be a required use in proposed projects. 1 am pleased to relay that there is a great deal of interest from the private sector in this development opportunity. To date, a total of 50 interested parties have officially registered with the City and submitted a $300 fee to be eligible to submit a proposal (please refer attached list). The RFP was made available on February 1", 2001. A Pre -Submission Conference was held on March 6°i and was well attended with over 85 participants. Questions received to date have become increasingly detailed, a sign that development teams have been formed and in depth project planning is under way. Proposals are due from developers on June 20, 2001. Immediately after proposals are received, a synopsis of each proposal will be provided to you. Proposals will then be distributed to Review Committee members and to the Certified Public Accounting ("CIIA") firm, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, LLP (in conjunction with Grau and Company), for review and evaluation. The accounting firm will review each proposal to include background check, credit check and an analysis of the financial aspects of each proposal. The review committee will begin their work before proposals are received so that a thorough and efficient evaluation process can be established. At the conclusion of the evaluation process, the review committee will prepare a report with their recommendation for my consideration. Status reports regarding the proposals and the evaluation process will be provided to the City Commission at it's meetings on June 18, July 12, July 26 and at additional times as needed. I anticipate presenting my recommendation to you no later than September 4, 2001. I suggest that a Commission workshop be scheduled for September 6`h to allow you ample time to review Proposals and obtain additional information on recommended project✓. At that time developer(s) will be present to be present their proposals and answer questions from the Commission. Additional workshops can be scheduled if necessary to conclude the selection process. Final Commission approval of a selected developer will be scheduled for the September 13 Commission meeting. 01- M to A prCFO sal being selected by the City Commiasion, ballot language will be Sxw to lte' for inclusion on the November 0 ballot and u' public will The schedule allows for a seven week provide iaformaion ra haoriod for the City the a�locged d4r�m� to sanding the project to the public. 9 S t S Y CAGODAMMIN � r w �} � t s i aEk fi 7 Y ' , JSb {�� i�sa{%°��'� �� '" � -�*`�Yif'�'ts,✓ £� ��;� 'r vy.,`ti'j7 ,^k.`�.'Y'``..-,� t ..�, � �r �,rM1Y�' � 10m cru r [ X{S ` Y 1 0 0 Sr,bsLule Commission Appmvod Content and Issuance of RFP December 2000 RFP Issued Cone Of Silence in Effect F 1 2001 Pro -Submission Conference and Site Tour Conducted March 6 Status Report at Commission Meeting May 1 RFP Submission Deadline / Due Date June 20 Synopsis of Proposal Submissions Provided to City Commission June 25 Status Re rt at Commission Meeting June 28 Status Report at Commission Meeting July 12 Status Report at Commission Meeting July 26 Special Commission Meeting Workshop September 4 Special Commission Meeting Workshop Continued Se ember 7 SIffial Commission Meeting Workshop additional da if needed September 12 Commission Considers Recommended Proposal September 13 Public Referendum November 9r, 2001 01- 435 CITY OF MIAMI NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF WATSON ISLAND PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing will be held by the Commission of the City of Miami, Florida, on May 10, 2001, at 9:30 a.m. in the City Commission Chambers at City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida, for the purpose of discussing an amendment to Resolution No: 00-1081, adopted December 14, 2000 which was the authorization to issue a Request For Proposals ("RFP").
