ENCLOSURES: Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
which selects a Certified Public Accounting ("CPA") firm and appoints members to a
review committee to evaluate all proposals received in connection with the Request For
Proposals for the redevelopment of the Marine Stadium and ancillary facilities on
Virginia Key.
BACKGROUND:
On April 27, 1995 the City Commission authorized the issuance of a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for a Unified Development Project (UDP) for the redevelopment of
Marine Stadium, with ancillary marine -related retail and recreational facilities, on
Virginia Key. The City Charter requires, as part of the UDP process, that both a review
committee and an independent CPA firm be selected to evaluate proposals received in
response to the RFP.
A competitive selection procedure was initiated by the Department of Development
which solicited proposals for evaluation services from minority CPA firms certified by
the City of Miami Office of Minority and Women Business Affairs. One proposal was
received and evaluated by a committee made up of City staff, according to established
criteria and a value point system. The committee recommended the proposal received
from Freeman, Dawson and Associates, P.A., a female owned business entity fully
certified with the City's Office of Minority and Women Business Affairs, and located
within the City of Miami at 3250 Mary Street, Miami.
Furthermore, the following individuals are recommended for appointment to the
review committee for this UDP project:
