Department which solicited proposals for evaluation services from CPA firms. Proposals were
received and evaluated according to established criteria and a value point system by members of
City staff. The top ranked firm was awarded a contract under this same solicitation for the
Dinner Key UDP, consequently it is recommended that the award for the Virginia Key Boat
Yards go to the second ranked firm: Verdeja and Gravier, a Hispanic - owned firm located within
Dade County at 999 Ponce deLeon Blvd., Coral Gables, Florida..
