BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Resolution No. 95-280, adopted by the City of Miami Commission, a Request for
Proposals for the Unified Development (UDP) of a Mega Yacht Marina on Watson Island, was issued
May 1, 1995. Proposals in response to the RFP are due to the City on August 1, 1995.
City Charter and Code sections governing the UDP process, require that both a selection review
committee and an independent Certified Public Accounting firm evaluate proposals received in
response to the RFP.
On June 1, 1995, through Resolution No. 95-463, the City Commission appointed individuals to a
review committee. On the July 13, 1995 Commission Meeting the City Commission must select
a CPA firm so that a professional services agreement can be negotiated and executed with the
selected firm prior to the receipt of proposals on August 1.
A competitive selection procedure was performed by the Office of Development which solicited
qualifications from minority/women CPA's certified by the City of Miami. Proposals were received
and evaluated, according to an established criteria and value point system, by members of City staff.
These proposals were ranked according to a compilation of all of the individual evaluations. The top
ranked firm is the one recommended for selection. Please refer to the attached table for additional
information.
