of the City Commission Resolution selecting a CPA
SUBJECT: firm to evaluate proposals on
the Marine Stadium RFP
FROM i `'`eS REFERENCES For City Commission
City er ENCLOSURES Meeting of 7/13/95
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution selecting the
female owned Certified Public Accot-ating (CPA) firm of Watson & Company to evaluate proposals
to be received in connection with a Request For Proposals (RFP) for the development of a Marine
Stadium/Amphitheater Facility on Virginia Key, Miami. The proposed Resolution further authorizes
the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with the selected CPA firm, in a form
acceptable to the City Attorney, for the evaluation of said proposals.
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Resolution No. 95-281, adopted by the City of Miami Commission, a Request for
Proposals for the Unified Development (UDP) of a Marine StadiunVAmphitheater Facility on Virginia
Key, was issued May 3, 1995. Proposals in response to the RFP are due to the City on August 3,
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. 95-464, 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 3.
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. Five (5) proposals were
received and evaluated, according to an established criteria and value point system by City staff.
These proposals were ranked according to a compilation of all of the individual evaluations. The top
ranked CPA firm for this UDP as well as the second and third ranked firm were also recommended
for another UDP. Consequently due to the work load that the evaluation of one UDP represents and
the limited period the CPA firm has to complete its work, the recommendation is here made in favor
of the fourth ranked firm. Please refer to the attached table for additional information.
