In the needs assessment phase for 1907, consideration SYas given to: a) the lease agreements which have either expired or will expire in 1967, for the office space currently rented by the City; b) the need to relocate the Departments of Management and Budget and Internal Audits and Reviews from the Olympia Building, as a result of the impending redevelopment; c) the need to merge the Claims Division. ,vith the Law Department by relocating together in thu same office space; d) the need to have the Finance and Management and Budget Departments in immediate proximity to one another. 9-1 97--416 r r Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Resolution Accepting the Proposal of MCF Corporation Page 2 CONCLUSIONS: Office space in the Coconut Grove area is extremely useful for certain City departments due to its closeness to City Hall and the City Manager's office. The Departments of Finance and Management and Budget will greatly benefit in efficiency and the provision of service from both the close proximity to each other and to Dinner Key. The Labor Relations Office will also benefit from the close proximity to Dinner Key. The type of office buildings being developed in the Coconut Grove area are well suited for the purpose of housing approximately 100 persons in sole tenancy. More particularly, Management and Budget's lease agreement for office space in the Olympia Building expired in February 28, 1986. As the Olympia Building is scheduled to undergo renovations, this department must be relocated as soon as possible. The Finance Department is presently located in Dinner Key and in the Watson Building. All of the Finance Department must be in the same location as well as in close proximity to the Department of Management and Budget. Also, the Labor Relations office's lease with the Coconut Grove Bank will expire in October, 1987. As a result of the above the General Services Administration Department issued a request for bids number 86--87/072 to lease office space in the Coconut Grove area and advertisements were placed in the Miami News, Miami Review, and. Miami Times, in accordance with procedures specified in tie Miami City -Code. The sole response submitted to this bid was received from MCF Corporation, a minority company. The Property and Lease Management Division has analyzed this bid and found it to be responsible and responsive to the request for bids, and most advantageous to the City. Funding for rental payments in connection with this lease will be allotted from each department's current operating budget, similarly to their existing arrangements, whereby the department pays rent for current office space that they use.
