Page 3 of*3 2;j TO FROM CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM 25 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the DATE : January 18, 2000 CitySUBJECT: Parking Surcharge Admin. Contract Authorization D- REFERENCES: City Manager ENCLOSURES: RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully requested that the City Commission approve the attached resolution, which authorizes the City Manager to execute a contract with the Parking Network, Inc. for administration of the City of Miami's Parking Surcharge Program. The length of this contract will be for three years with the two -one year extensions. BACKGROUND Following approval of the parking surcharge ordinance, the City issued a request for "Letters of Interest" for the administration of the program to which four firms responded. An Evaluation Committee comprised of four individuals (Marva Wiley, Special Assistant to the City Manager, Finance Director, Julie Weatherholtz, Oakland Park Finance Director, Bert Wrains; and local attorney Roland Sanchez -Medina) recommended the joint venture proposal of the Parking Network, Inc. and Rachlin Cohen & Holtz, LLP, to the City Manager. On October 12, 1999, the City Commission directed the City Manager to enter into competitive negotiations with the joint venture of Parking Network, Inc. and Rachlin Cohen & Holtz, LLP, Revenue Recovery Services, L.P., and any other firms recognizing that a guaranty, introduced by Revenue Recovery Services, L.P. was extremely attractive to the Commission. The Administration invited all of the firms, which had been previously deemed qualified, to reenter the process and, further, extended an invitation to two additional firms that did not respond to the first solicitation. Ultimately, the administration entered into competitive negotiations with the joint venture of Parking Network, Inc/Rachlin Cohen & Holtz, LLP and Revenue Recovery Services, L.P. The competitive negotiation team included Assistant City Manager, Bertha Henry, Marva Wiley, Julie Weatherholtz, Assistant Finance Director, Scott Simpson; and Treasurer, Pete Chircut. FILE: 00— 160 From these negotiations, the Administration recommends the joint venture of Parking Network/Rachlin Cohen for the following reasons: • The Parking Network is a 'consulting firm formed in 1996,. which primarily provides parking consulting services, including audit services in the Greater Miami area. The principals, collectively, have over 40 collective. years experience in the parking industry. • The Parking Network currently has permanent, full-time staff, trained in `the parking industry including an existing field staff. • The Parking Network proposes a . proactive approach to reaching the parking industry through industry -specific training sessions. • The Parking Network has committed to physically visiting each registered facility. to verify information included in the database and identifying parking activity not registered in the program for appropriate action by the City. • The Parking Network proposal includes ensuring that .major special events are monitored. • The Parking Network presented the lowest overall price. • The Parking Network has committed to operating in Miami. If you have any questions regarding this recommendation, please feel free to contact me..

IC REVENUE RECOVERY SERVICES, L.P 1250 CAPITAL OF TEXAS HWY BLDG 2, SUITE 300 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 V- Submitted into the pvbiic V� ;record in connection 'AJith item on oo Walter r=oeman p Ciba Clto�k 1 IBJ G 1 f� r LJ 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Submitted into the:) ; �ubI record in connection with 'iters..;.- -�.�,, \Walter Foernan ;_ �—, city clerk Revenue Recovery Services, L.P. (RRS) is a Delaware limited partnership. Its general partner is Revenue Management Services LLC. Both are business organizations in good standing within the State of Delaware. It is the intent of the partners to create a wholly-owned subsidiary entitled Revenue Recovery Services of Florida, L.P. and operate same from within the City of Miami. RRS is a new company. Yet we have nearly 100 years experience in areas relating to tax, tax administration and unmatched expertise in the administration and enforcement of a parking surcharge program. The core strength of RRS is administration and enforcement of governmental revenue generating programs. The project team which has been assembled and has served at all levels of government in jurisdictions throughout the United States. Rina Cutler currently is the Executive Director of the largest parking authority in the country. Nicholas Panarella, Jr. has enforced and created additional parking surcharge revenue for the City of Philadelphia. Together they have consulted for the City of Pittsburgh on parking surcharge issues. Ronald Davis has enforced a similar program for our nation's capital. Simply stated, this will be our first contract. The City of Miami will be our first client. In our view, this should not be perceived as a negative. We will bring together a collective team of subject matter experts to insure the success of this program. This contract is multi -dimensional. It is a first generation program for the City. It is a new revenue source. It is a new program within the state. It will be a step in leveling the playing field from a tax perspective between the City and its suburbs. You need an organization which can demonstrate the organizational experience to define a total program and direct a totally local staff in its implementation. The overriding goal of our efforts will be to continually use enforcement resources to enhance voluntary compliance. This program is designed to abate other forms of taxation. Tax avoidance does not lessen the cost of government. Rather, it casts a heavier burden on taxpayers who do comply. Our program is multi -functional and involves more than hoping all parking operators will recognize their obligations and remit the full measure of the surcharge — many will —some will not. The rate of compliance will be driven by the credibility of our enforcement programs. Only RRS has the actual hands-on experience to perform parking -related revenue programs. Our audit and discovery programs are creative and proven. Our programs will produce a level of compliance not assumed in your 5 -year plan. This will be an interactive public/private partnership. It is our intention to be a totally local company, drawing on the community as a whole for staffing and resources. We will locate within your Empowerment Zone. We are very excited to be a partner with the City of Miami. It is our belief that we bring to the City a team of professionals who both understand the goals of the parking surcharge program and the expertise to fully implement the program on the City's behalf. Revenue Recoven� Services, L.P. % Page 2 ` Submitted into the public record in connection with stem ` on - o n k, Walter Foeman PROJECT APPROACH `ffi Cit} Clerk The City of Miami has a unique opportunity to address an area which has had a negative impact on its financial well being. While the causes can be debated, it is clear that one of the principal causes of this situation is the increasing expectation of municipal services by its citizens and the heretofore rigid, domicile driven, tax structure of the City. Historically, the City was the driving force of the economy of South Florida. With the geographic expansion of businesses and residential developments outside of the City's limits, ' this position has slowly eroded. Miami today is a tale of two cities. By day the City is populated with a large infusion of government, professional, sales and service employees. By night these people leave the city and the city reverts to a group of neighborhoods whose residents represent one of the largest concentration of poverty in the area. Historically, Miami relied upon its ad valorem tax base to fund city services. These taxes ' are regressive in nature and have as their nexus physical presence. These high rates have been a factor in business and population migration from the City. Most of this region's medical, governmental, educational and religious assets are located within the City. All of these are exempt from real estate taxes. This represents well over 50% of Miami's real estate tax base. This real estate tax exempt ratio significantly changes outside of the city's geographical boundaries. This trend needs to be reversed. The Parking Surcharge Fee should redress this imbalance. In effect, it is a non-resident, commerce driven transaction fee. It essentially imposes a parking surcharge on every person and entity doing business within the City. If fully and effectively administered, this surcharge can bring about economic change. It provides benefits to the City in the form of increase revenue. RRS brings significant experience to this project. As our resumes will attest, your principal presenters have nearly a century of experience in the field of municipal revenue administration and enforcement programs. Rina Cutler is the cornerstone of our expertise in the parking area. Since 1994, she has served as the Executive Director of the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) for the City of Philadelphia, a position she will leave in early 2000. As Executive Director of the PPA, Ms. Cutler oversees all parking management activities for the City of Philadelphia. In that capacity, she manages a large inter -disciplinary agency which manages both on -street and off-street parking operations. In addition, the PPA manages all public parking at the Philadelphia International Airport. She directly manages an agency with 20,780 parking spaces and annual revenue of almost $93,000,000. tShe sits on the Mayor's economic Development Cabinet. She is a subject expert in the areas of revenue,. control, collections, public financing of development projects and parking management services. Revenue Recovery Services, L.P. ,,.. Page 3 Submitted into the quant record in connection with item mss-- on 1 ' Z 2' Walter Foeman City Clerk She has served in similar capacities in both the City of San Francisco and the City of Boston. She served in San Francisco as the Executive Director of the Department of Parking and Traffic and as the Transportation Commissioner of the City of Boston. Ms. Cutler has a close working relation with Nicholas Panarella, Jr., a principal of RRS. Previously, they worked in a public/private partnership for the City of Philadelphia and, as here, previously joined in a private relationship to advise the City of Pittsburgh in areas relating to off-street parking administration and parking surcharge collections. Nicholas Panarella, Jr. has been in the area of tax administration and enforcement since ' 1973. First as an Assistant City Solicitor and then in the private practice of law, he has been recognized as a leading innovator in this field. He has specialized in helping urban cities revitalize their tax bases. The Honorable Edward G. Randell, the Mayor of Philadelphia, ' "America's Mayor," has stated on many occasions that his programs were vital to Philadelphia's revival during the 1990s. Mr. Panarella has worked with such cities as Washington D.C., Detroit and Philadelphia in revitalizing their tax rolls. In Philadelphia, he conducted a parking surcharge audit and discovery program which not only enhanced audit revenue of existing parking operators but also discovered previously unregistered lots, valet services and other non-traditional for profit automobile storage facilities. The on-site presence of RRS in Miami will be represented by Ronald Davis. Mr. Davis brings significant depth and related experience to our project team. From 1995 until 1996, Mr. Davis served as Deputy Director of the Department of Finance and Revenue for the District of Colombia. He directed the District's tax revenue assessment and collections department. Part of his duties was to administer, collect and enforce the District's comparable revenue stream. Mr. Davis is a Floridian. Before servicing our nation's capital, he worked extensively for several South Florida communities. For example, he served as City Manager of Riviera Beach from 1976 through 1979. This program is two fold. It involves the collection of all "current/voluntary" payments and instituting a level of enforcement to insure that the parking operators file accurately, timely and full remittances. At its core, this program involves a data base management system which will process in excess of $1 Om. per annum. Very few companies, or individuals, outside government have this experience. Joining our team is Joseph Carrozza. Mr. Carrozza is a CPA and holds an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Carrozza previously worked as the CFO and Vice President of Operations for Municipal Tax Bureau. As such, he has a long-standing professional relationship with Mr. Panarella. Mr. Carrozza supervised the collection of over $150 million in similar revenue streams for jurisdictions, located throughout the U.S. He is fully prepared to work hand in hand with the City in establishing the banking and remittance protocols which are needed for this type of program. Revenue Recovenj Services, L.P. ' s:00 Page 4 Submitted Into the ptibtrc record in connection with item on Walter Foeman city Oje1X1 In our -initial meeting with City of Miami staff, the question was raised as to how a program like this will be run, what are its components and how will their public/private' partnership work to and for the benefit of the citizens and parking community of the City of Miami. As stated above, it should be clear that RRS has the expertise to answer these questions and to implement a plan which will emerge from our shared vision of success. The cornerstone of the administration of a program of this nature is credible enforcement. ' That is, where credible programs exist which can detect underpayment (audit), nonpayment (DAC) and finally non -reporting (Discovery) by parking operators, the level of voluntary compliance increases. Parking is primarily a cash business. The City of Miami no has a 20% equity position in the parking business with well over 1,000 companies. These companies run the gamut from well run professional organizations to highly entrepreneurial individuals running special event parking. Programs must be developed that will insure that all parking operators comply with this program. It is the implied covenant of government that, if it imposes a financial obligation on one, the obligation must be uniformly applied to all. In fulfilling this covenant, government enhances its credibility and esteem within the community if its programs are uniformly and impartially administered. Program Components Effective enforcement programs are beneficial for two reasons. First, revenue collection is enhanced. The imposition of penalties for non-payment drive up future levels of voluntary compliance. The first task of this program will be to insure that the existence of this new revenue program is communicated to all parking operators. This involves an initial, broad-based mailing to all parking operators. We will then work with the City to expand its existing operator registry in RRS's system. This will allow an effective database to be created which will detect various forms of non-compliance and allow specific programs. to deal with each form of non-compliance. PARKING SURCHARGE PROCESSING (PSP This system relates to the monthly processing of the parking facility's surcharge collected by parking operators and remitted to your escrow agent, Revenue Recovery Services. This system includes the development of a parking facility database to identify every parking facility in the City of Miami. The processing of the monthly parking surcharge returns and payments are recorded in the PSP database. The system's significant characteristics stress security of records ' and documentation, control of collected funds and remittances to the City of Miami, accountability of all returns and funds received, and reporting the results to the City of Miami on a monthly basis. The PSP system is extremely user friendly to the parking facility operators and ensures the operators receive the required forms, information and methodology to transmit the ' Revenice Recovenj Services, L.P. f �.: Page 5 1 9 0 l collection and remitting of the City parking surcharge funds. This entire process is fully documented, controlled and accounted with detailed remittances to the City of Miami. The processing function is located in Miami, represented by a bi-lingual representative staff. RRS strives to act- as a seamless agent for the City in its dealings with the parking operators. The PSP system is also charged with the responsibility of generating the information to launch enforcement programs in conjunction with internal and external resources. ' DELINQUENT ACCOUNT COLLECTION (,DACI Delinquent account collection relates to the underpayment or non-payment of funds by parking operators. RRS's data base system is designed to identify delinquent parking operators. RRS will initiate only such civil procedures as necessary to enforce payment by delinquent t parking operators. These civil procedures range from administrative notices through execution of civil judgments. The administration must also consider the use of criminal court in extreme cases. It must be remembered that these are City funds held in trust by the facility operators. Willful refusal to turn over these funds is a form of theft and criminal sanctions can be imposed. RRS shall make no decisions regarding the potential criminal liability. Rather, it will be prepared to act as an expert witness and/or custodian of record at appropriate hearings. DATA BASE MANAGEMENT The following formula was used by the accounting firms of Samuel Klein & Company and Lawrence Belcher & Company in 1985 for a parking tax study in Newark, New Jersey. It has since been used by many municipalities to assess the accuracy of revenue collected from parking surcharges. As a first step, the following formula has been used to project daily and monthly parking revenue by parking facilities: Revenue for daily parking-- Working arking=Working capacity x 8-10 hour business day rate x 250 days — — — Submitted into the public Revenue for monthly parking= record in connection with r Working capacity x monthly rate x 12 months !,� Item on Walter Foeman ;xY.��=.,. _ CityCleri` Daily total + monthly total= average projected revenue 2 Working capacity is defined as the maximum number of vehicles a facility can accept at peak times. This should not be based on "licensed" capacity since it is not uncommon for parking Revenue Recovenj Services, L.P. Page 6 t r operators to park vehicles in aisles and other area during peak times. Operators should be required to "declare" the actual working capacity in each facility. This number, once established, will remain relatively constant unless a physical alteration increases or decreases the number of spaces. Rates were calculated as the maximum rate for an 8-10 hour business day or the monthly parking rate. Operators should be required to "declare" their key rates on a quarterly basis as rate changes occur periodically. Business periods were defined as 250 days for daily parking or 12 months for monthly parkers. The above formula represents only the first step in adequately projecting revenue for specific facilities. Many parking facilities have both a daytime use and an evening/weekend use. Therefore, an additional measurement is required to produce an accurate revenue analysis. This factor is the measurement of utilization (or the multiple use of spaces). The utilization (U factor) is a measurement of the characteristic turnover activity at each facility which has multiple uses. By adding a U.factor to the above formula, one can achieve a highly accurate revenue projection. Working capacity x key rate x business periods x utilization factor-- Projected actor=Projected revenue Calculating the U factor While this factor is more difficult to verify in the initial stages of creating a data base, it is critical to creating meaningful data for most facilities. This should initially be determined by using the declared revenue for tax purposes from the previous year. The formula then reads as follows U= Revenue Working Capacity x key rate x business periods This can further be refined by calculating two U factors — daily utilization (Ud) and monthly utilization (Um). Ud: Measures the typical use of each space for a business day which presumes revenue was generated exclusively by customers who pay the maximum daily rate. This factor accounts for the use of spaces by multiple customers on evenings and weekends. Um: Measures the typical use of each space presuming the only customers were for monthly parking. This formula accounts for the monthly parking oversell. The average oversell rate for commercial facilities is 20%; in residential facilities, it is about 10%. �F , �Submitfed into the . public Y record in connection tivith ;s ftettl on o_o 7.. Walter oeme.n Revenue Recovenj Services, L.P. Page 7 Calculations of Ud and Um will provide an average number which is then used to calculate revenue. Here are two examples: Example A: A parking lot with a working capacity of 83 spaces in a five day per week downtown commercial location charges a maximum daily rate of $7.68 and a monthly rate of $114.37. Annual revenue is $164,112. Ud= Revenue ($164,112) = 1.03 Working Capacity (83) x daily rate ($7.68) x 250 days Um Revenue ($164,112) = 1.44 Working Capacity (83) x monthly rate ($114.37) x 12 mo The average Ud and Um is 1.24 Example B: A parking lot with a working capacity of 93 spaces has weekend commercial business as well as night and weekend business from a major sports arena. Maximum daily rate is $8.52 and monthly rate is $145.83. Annual revenue is $409,365. Ud= Revenue$409 365 ( ) 2.07 Working Capacity (93) x daily rate ($8.52) x 250 days ,I 1 Um Revenue ($409,365) = 1.44 Working Capacity (93) x monthly rate ($145.83) x 12 mo The average Ud and Um is 2.30 d— _ Submitted into the public record in Connection with w' item on o Creating the Data Base: Walter Forman cit �r Clerl Using the utilization factor will provide a base of information by which parking facilities can be identified which require a more in-depth analysis and field observation. This initial data base should contain both the daily and monthly utilization factors for each parking facility. The 1 calculation should be based on the revenue declared in the facility's parking tax return from the previous year. As more information is gathered through data compilation and field observation and audits, a data bank is created with valid U factors which will form a consistent matrix. Since competitive facilities in geographical comparable areas tend to charge similar rates, utilization rates should fall within the same general range. Revenue Recovenj Services, L.P. Page 8 The implementation plan for Revenue Recovery, Inc. would be to establish a valid U factor for each eligible facility and to graph it on a map. Neighboring facilities should have comparable U factors in a pattern which reflects the relative quality of locations. While there will always be some variables in this formula, the auditing of facilities whose reported revenue is significantly different than the projected figure, is a fair and legitimate method for identifying non-compliance or under reporting. DISCOVERY This function is the creative strength of RRS. It represents the ability to find and thereafter retroactively bring into compliance, parking. operators that are not on the current database. This process will be ongoing throughout the contract period, adjusting to ownership changes which occur within the Miami parking community. However, it will be the primary focus of RRS for the initial 6 months of the contract. We can assume that virtually all of the major facilities can or have been identified. It can further be assumed that,most of the "hidden" parking industry has not been identified. The "hidden" parking industry includes: tow truck companies operators with storage facilities; valet parking services; automobile repair facilities; impoundment lots; and special event lots. One might suspect that the highest degree of non-compliance will occur around special event facilities such as the Orange Bowl. Detection of these parking operators can take many forms from electronic data matches with the State of Florida to aerial surveillance of the Orange Bowl on game day. Any non -intrusive method of documenting parking activity for profit will be used if cost effective. Discovery will also support the Audit Program. This support will occur in parking space verification and physical counts of parking activity during peak parking periods. In order to validate our Audit Selection Profile a knowledge of the actual number of spaces is necessary. This information should not be based on "licensed" capacity, but rather on working capacity. In cases where an actual audit is suggested, a physical count of lot activity must be undertaken over an extended period before the announcement of the audit. This will give our auditors an actual lot activity profile from which the reported activity can be compared. It is important to note that all project participants have conducted 'these programs in the past and achieved significant results. Ms. Cutler detected a major, multi-year, multi -employee underreporting scheme in her first days at Philadelphia International Airport. Mr. Panarella performed this project for the City of Philadelphia. Mr. Davis supervised this type of program for Washington, D.C. If there is a defining difference between RRS and any potential competitor, it is in this area. _ ' Submitted into the pul?RIo AUDIT ,ecold in connection with. cte�n ,5" on o Variables Which Will Influence Parking_Surcharge Collections: Walter FG4�''6c City Cie This unique industry cries out for a full fledge audit program. The pri i"s'are: Cash Business: Operators must monitor the proper collection of revenue from each vehicle parked. Not all revenue makes it into the system due to theft or non -reporting. Revenue Recovenj Services, L.P. 9 Z Page 9 • Operations: : Operating features vary from facility to facility and these features will impact how cars and cash transactions are recorded. For example, record keeping may differ between valet and self park operations, whether tickets are issued manually or by machine, etc. • Record Keeping: There are no industry wide standards of record keeping on which auditors may rely. * Auditing: Effective audits require actual observation and car counting in the field. Most government entities are not staffed for such demanding and time consuming tasks. A financial audit is an intrusive, expensive proposition for all parties concerned. Its use should not be exercised without prior research and with reasonable belief that it will produce a change. RRS believes that the Administration has a right to participate in the audit selection process by working with RRS in establishing the parameters of discrepancy ratios to be used in the actual determination of audit candidates. j Successful audits will lead to either quick settlements or protracted litigation. The former occurs when the assigned auditors have a certain latitude in settlement discretion. This protocol is outside the scope of this presentation but must be discussed prior to the undertaking of any audit activity. It is not contemplated that audits will take place for at least six months following commencement of the contract. In summary, RRS offers a fully integrated solution. It's principals are grounded in tax collection and administration which represent transferable skills to your program. PSP is a unique process requiring a high degree of accounting and, in today's world of e-commerce, knowledge of technology based strategies. RRS possesses all. of these skill sets. Parking is a cash business. It is a volatile and competitive business which requires an "insiders" knowledge base to understand, administer and regulate. Our project team uniquely possess all of these skill sets. We have the experience and motivation to make this project a success.

Page 36 i NICHOLAS PANARELLA ' Professional Highlights Created a full-service privatized tax administration company that helped pioneer the notion that there could be a significant private sector contribution to the operation of municipal and state revenue departments. Since its creation in 1994, MTB has, through discovery, audit and delinquent collections projects, sent over $100,000,000 in collected revenues to the treasuries of its municipal and state clients. Q • Created a pioneering program to identify and collect taxes and fees from previously non -registered taxpayers for the City of Philadelphia. In a five-year period, this program collected over $60,000,000 in `found' revenues for the City's treasury, one of the most successful public-private tax enforcement projects in America. • Created and directed the first state-wide discovery program in the United States for the State of New Jersey. In its first 18 months of operation, the program collected and sent to the state treasury over $14,000,000. • Developed, litigated and enforced a delinquent tax collection program for the City of Philadelphia against non-resident, federal civilian employees. The program resulted in over 10,000 settlements with aggregated collections in excess of $25,000,000, and set important legal precedent on constitutional issues of full faith and credit in tax cases and the enforceability of non-resident tax liabilities in foreign jurisdictions. • Created a program to detect unjustified claims for the Homestead Exemption in the District of Columbia, identifying approximately $60 million in revenue that is due the District and starting similar reviews of the District's tax code. • Successfully guided and negotiated the 1997 purchase of MTB by MBIA, the pre-eminent insurer of municipal bond underwritings and a S&P 500 company. • 1996 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Public Welfare's Employer of the Year for Commitment to Minority Hiring. .

Not only is it new but it represents a significant shift in the City's relationship with, the County and its neighbors. Evidencing this change in the p status quo is the unprecedented challenge by the County to this state enacted revenue source. Because of these factors the revenue forecasts have.been varied. They range from $6.5m to $15m. The City is currently limited to a 5% CAP on the administration of this program. Therefofe, any proposal which proposes fixed or hourly fees must be deemed inappropriate. Therefore, RRS submits a fee of 5% collections from all sources derived from this program. This fee will be withheld and sums disbursed to the City will be net of RRS's fee. One of the purposes of our proposal has been to convey to the City not only the types but also the need for enforcement programs. However, all of the programs discussed in our proposal cannot be performed with a 5% cap on collections. Our detailed itemizations of services is contained in the materials submitted at our oral presentation. oTherefore our presentation and fee proposal will allow RRS to perform representative projects to demonstrate the validity of our methods and the rates of return that can be generated from our enforcement programs. This level of service. will enable us to collect significant revenue on your behalf. However, in order to maximize this revenue source additional resources will be needed. RRS commits itself to work with the Staff in finding new and/or creative ways to fund these programs. We are proposing a long term relationship and believe that over time and with success that we can demonstrate that the more enforcement to resources committed the greater the need and short term revenue generated by this program will increase. GUARANTEE Subject to the following qualifications RRS will guarantee up to $9.5 million dollars in gross accrued revenues in the 151 The qualifications are: 1. The constitutionality of the ordinance and state law is upheld and that all accrued revenues from projected sources such as Dade County are realized; ■I 2. The minimum accrued revenues projected by the City of 6.5 million dollars are realized; 3. A loan commitment from a financial institution in the amount of 3 million dollars is approved for RRS; and —-- - �UbMitted into the pub'c f eCCrd in connection v; Ki item I on Walter Foeman Revenue Recovenj Services, L.P..

The office is located in the City of ' Coral Gables. Our emphasis is South Florida, because of the Partners' close ties within the community, as well as Latin America. The Firm comprises two partners, five accounting professionals and five support staffs. The varied age and background of the partners provide the foundation for the future growth of the firm, along with granting the clients the continuity of personnel that they desire. All our professional and administrative staff are fluent in both English and Spanish, along with one member who is fluent in Portuguese. Our goals are to provide all clients, small or large, with the highest quality service possible. This theme is the basic principle upon which this Firm was founded. Since South Florida is primarily composed of "small businesses," the majority of the client -base consists of small to middle market companies. However, there are a number of large international companies for whom the Firm performs extensive tax consulting and management advisory services. The management advisory services are concentrated in.the areas of internal controls, accounting systems, and organization. i ' Submitted into the F?t?!; ,I record in connoctim., V.!�f;; IKI item .. -2 -5 on i -1 foo Waster Foernan o.t�z City Glen, D The Partners Submitted into the public y' record in Connection with Walter Fooman City Clark GA3RIEL PRATS Mr. Prats graduated from the University of Florida in 1963 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a strong emphasis in i Economics.

These services include audits of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; preparation of unaudited financial statements; reviews of interim financial statements for purposes of reporting to boards of directors or to the public; reviews of and ' reporting on internal financial controls; special reviews of examinations relating to acquisitions, mergers, sale of a business, and other special purposes; and many other accounting and auditing -related services. The Firm assigns a partner to administer the work of every client, regardless of its size -not only to provide better liaison but to permit closer professional attention at the partner level to each client's particular requirements. In the case of large or geographically dispersed companies, two or more officials are assigned to a client's affairs so as to permit closer supervision and more effective coordination of the work. This close attention results in a more immediate response to client needs and enables the -Firm to make a unified and cohesive approach to client affairs. Prats Fern&ndez and Company's association with its major clients can be attributed directly to these policies and concepts. It is now generally recognized that independent examinations of annual financial statements and reviews of interim financial information of public companies are essential to the maintenance of high quality and consistency in financial reporting and to the continuance of confidence in the financial reporting process. At the same,time, accountants must always be alert to the development of more sophisticated management information systems and must themselves devise new audit techniques that deal effectively with these developments. Prats Ferndndez & Company concentrates on adapting auditing procedures to new technology and is continuously training its auditing staff in the review and audit of EDP controls and output data. The Firm adheres to the use of statistical sampling auditing techniques. This has resulted in more efficient audits and lower audit cost as well.

Current day tax laws are so complex that even clients with highly sophisticated internal staff, seek the counsel of independent tax advisors, in order to fully protect the interests of shareholders. Furthermore, even the most proficient tax departments are so immersed in difficult day-to-day problems that they often require the services of outside tax specialists for long-range planning activities. This is true, for example, when advance tax planning involves expansion of domestic and foreign operations. Because of its comprehensive experience in serving a wide range of clients, Prats Fernandez & Company is also able to identify advantageous tax opportunities for clients as' well as provide early warnings of potential tax problems. For these reasons, many clients depend on Prats Fern&ndez & Company for all or part of their planning needs. Apart from its expertise in compliance work, the Firm represents corporations and other organizations in their dealings with tax authorities. rFinally, Prats Fern&ndez & Company is fully qualified to provide family tax planning for senior executives of client companies. Although companies are increasingly aware of the importance of tax planning for executives, the proper counseling of individuals is beyond the scope and responsibility of most in-house tax departments. w r s Submitted into the ?,r record ; Public in COE1itec-tie,� t�3i°1 'fern . 0"?92 1-?

PROPOSAL THIS IS A NEW REVENUE SOURCE FOR THE CITY. NOT ONLY IS IT NEW BUT IT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN THE CITY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COUNTY AND ITS NEIGHBORS. EVIDENCING THIS CHANGE IN THE STATUS QUO IS THE UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE BY THE COUNTY TO THIS STATE ENACTED REVENUE SOURCE. BECAUSE OF THESE FACTORS THE REVENUE FORECASTS HAVE BEEN VARIED. THEY RANGE FROM $6.5M TO $ISM. THE CITY IS CURRENTLY LIMITED TO A 5% CAP ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS PROGRAM. THEREFORE, ANY PROPOSAL WHICH PROPOSES FIXED OR HOURLY FEES MUST BE DEEMED, INAPPROPRIATE. THEREFORE, RRS SUBMITS A FEE OF 5% COLLECTIONS FROM ALL SOURCES DERIVED FROM THIS PROGRAM. THIS FEE WILL BE WITHHELD AND SUMS DISBURSED TO THE CITY WILL BE NET OF RRS'S FEE. ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF OUR PROPOSAL HAS BEEN TO CONVEY TO THE CITY NOT ONLY THE TYPES BUT ALSO THE NEED FOR ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE PROGRAMS DISCUSSED IN OUR PROPOSAL CANNOT BE PERFORMED WITH A 5% CAP ON ' COLLECTIONS. THEREFORE, OUR PRESENTATION AND FEE PROPOSAL WILL ALLOW RRS TO PERFORM REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS TO DEMONSTRATE THE VALIDITY OF OUR METHODS AND THE RATES OF RETURN THAT CAN BE GENERATED FROM OUR ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS. THIS LEVEL OF SERVICE WILL ENABLE US TO COLLECT SIGNIFICANT REVENUE ON YOUR BEHALF, WE BELIEVE THAT THIS FEE IS SUFFICIENT TO CREATIVELY USE ENFORCEMENT TO MAXIMIZE VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE TO REACH A FIRST YEAR GOAL OF $9.3m. RRS FEELS THAT TO REALIZE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THIS SURCHARGE (12M - 15M) THAT MORE VIGOROUS AND COSTLY ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS WILL BE NECESSARY AFTER YEAR 1 (ONE.

Henry Assistant City Manager City of Miami 10t1i Floor Miami Riverside Center 444 S.W. 2nd Avenue Miami, Florida 33130 Re: City of Miami Parking Services Surcharge Administration Program Dear Ms. Henry: On behalf of the Revenue Recovery Services, L.P. ("RRS") Project Team for the City of Miami Parking Services Surcharge Administration Program, I am happy to transmit their proposed fee schedule for your review and consideration. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Scenario A 5% 0-12M 5.00% 4.75% 4.50% 4.50% 12-15M 4.75% Over 15M 4.50% Scenario B* 5% 4.50% 3.75% 3.50% 3.50% (*assumes that the costs will be passed through to the operators/per ordinance) In any contract of this nature, RRS considers price an important factor in any competitive process. However, it is not the only factor. This contract is a professional service contract for the administration and collection revenue. RRS's team has a proven track record with a history of successful experiences in creatively maximizing revenue for jurisdictions. We respectfully submit that the primary factor in the administration and collection of revenues is what the City's new revenue will be at the end of each year. Variances in fees should be considered secondary to the end product - more spendable revenue. RRS has proposed a unique and comprehensive program which will ensure this result. On behalf of the entire project team, I would like to thank you for continuing attention to this matter. 1 cc Very truly yours _ V Lucia A.

Henry, Assistant City Manager Miami Riverside Center 100' Floor 444 SW Second Avenue Miami, FL 33130 Dear Ms. Henry: ng TM PleasePlease allow me to introduce to you a new concept in parking consulting services, The Parking Network TI. Formed in 1996, The Parking Network is a unique and cutting edge parking consulting firm exceptionally qualified to assist the City of Miami in the collection of the parking revenue surcharge. What makes the Network unique is that it is the only firm of its kind founded and operated by hands-on parking professionals who have actually managed the day to day operations of every type of parking facility. The Parking Network's principals have over 40 collective years of experience and each associate comes from a real-world parking background, not academia. Please accept this as our "Letter of Interest" in providing assistance in the collection of the parking revenue surcharge. As the following pages explain, our credentials and experience would be a tremendous asset to the City in this process. With offices in major cities in four states, we have verified revenue streams for municipalities and institutions around the country. Locally, The City of Coral Gables, The Public Health Trust of Dade County and the University of Miami have all called upon our expertise to assist with their parking operations. We hope to put that expertise to work for the City of Miami. As you the read the attached information, please note that I can be reached at 954-693-9773 to answer any questions you may have. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss our unique qualifications with you in person. Please let me know if this will be possible. Thank you for your consideration.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY — REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE The Parking Network is an association of parking industry veterans providing parking consulting �I services to institutions, governmental bodies, and private commercial parking operators. The firm's core competencies are: ■ Supplying independent auditing and financial accountability services to public and private entities desiring to verify, project, or improve various forms of revenue streams ■ Providing parking management systems (forms, procedures, policies, benchmarks, etc.) for public and private entities desiring to manage their own parking facilities ■ Furnishing general management advice and counsel regarding parking operations, including financial feasibility, operational design, customer service, and administration issues ■ Offering human resource services to the parking �I industry including recruiting and placement of management personnel, and training of line and supervisory employees ■ Assembling development teams and resources to construct, expand, or renovate parking facilities to the benefit of owners and the general public t.3 In addition to the above, the Network has aligned itself with a number of regional and national firms specializing in such areas as parking facility design, rehabilitation, finance, development, and construction. Our extensive experience attests to our ability to bring to the table all the expertise the City of Miami will need to assure the accurate collection of the parking revenue surcharge. We believe there are several key distinctions that make The Parking Network unique among our competitors and there are specific benefits that will accrue to The City of Miami by its selection of The Parking Network as the provider of the services requested: ■ The principals of The Parking Network come from a real-world background, not academia. Each had to survive in the private sector on the basis of their ability to project, collect and verify the revenue streams of every project with which they were involved Unlike other consultants, we've actually o erated facilities in Miami and around the country. ■ The Parking Network's proposed project team has over 20 years combined experience managing and auditing parking facilities in Miami.

We have maintained the latest, state of the art computers in our offices nationwide and equip each of our associates with powerful notebook computers for field assignments. We utilize the Internet and the World Wide Web for our national internetworking and rely heavily on our local area network for communications between our local PCs. Our extensive experience with large municipalities and institutions has required that we understand main -frame - computing technology as well. We have the capability to communicate with the City of Miami's computers via modem/network connections or by sharing data cartridges. We have EBCDIC capabilities and can exchange (read/write) 3480 data cartridges. This will enable us to "talk" directly with the City of Miami's mainframe computers and assure smooth communication with the City's information system. The Parking Network utilizes several proprietary software packages to analyze data gathered by our staff and clients. We use these programs to identify anomalies in data that can signal the need for a closer look at the data in question. Our unique experience simplifies much of the review process because we know to look for in parking revenue data. Whether utilizing our proprietary software, or understanding the City's management information system, The Parking Network will demonstrate our technological capabilities if given the opportunity to assist the City of Miami with this project.

With our unique experience, we can identify, project and verify revenue streams other entities may overlook.. We have been active in the Miami parking market for the last ten years and the operators, owners and revenue generators know and respect our expertise. Conversely, we know the operators and owners and understand the true revenue potential of their facilities. We want to share this insight with the City of Miami. Our approach to this project can be summarized in the following four parts: 1. Exhaust every resource to identify and create a database of potential surcharge revenue generators. Work with the City of Miami to continually update and maintain this database with detailed records indicating accurate revenue projections for each and every potential generator. 2. Review submittals and payments, compare with projections and note anomalies. Continue to update database with submittal and payment information and evaluate (adjust if necessary) future revenue projections. 3. Submit for City's approval the process for notification and. enforcement of. any non -payments or violators. 4. Submit audit process for City's approval. This audit process will include standard, random audits I and will also include a process to identify audits necessary for suspicious or suspect submittals or payments. 'I The Parking Network's unique experience will enable these four steps to be implemented quickly and efficiently. We are prepared to undertake this project immediately. We are confident that our I resources and parking expertise will be a tremendous asset to the City of Miami in this process. 11 Submitted iiaeii ti-ler- �k l .. r' record in con' iccilo m witr, item -.2-5 on ' Walter Foeman 0, G.,i.
