Albert Perez and Associates 4. Howard Ostrout and Associates 5. Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan 6. Sasaki and Associates 7. Wallace, Roberts and Todd Criteria utilized by the selection committee in evaluating the proposals included: - Creativity and Skill .Innovative approaches .Creative past work .Successful past projects Page 1 of 4 83-696t 1. _ _ - --- - Experience .Similar projects .Projects in south Florida .Collaboration with other professions .Previous work with other team members .Previous work with City - Team Organization .Principal members of prime consultant .Key team members present .Project manager's prominence in interview .rlethodology of team approach - Team Capabilities for this Project .Range of skills .Understanding of project .Familiarity with Dinner Key; Miami .Current work loads .Ability to meet schedules - Affirmative Action .Minority participation in team assignments .Minority representation in prime or subcontractor ownership of firms .Percentage Black involvement in contractual responsibility .Percentage ($) Latin involvement in contractual responsibility The three consultant teams selected in rank order with subconsultant members were: 1) Boerema, Bermello, Kurki and Vera - Prime, Architect Ronald Frazier and Associates - planners Stresau, Smith & Stresau - Landscape Architects Metric Engineering - Traffic & narking Hammer, Siler & George Associates - Market Analysis 2) Albert R. Perez Associates - Prime, Landscape Architect Edna Mingo - Urban Planner Wilbur Smith Associates - Transportation Planning Chesapeake Group, Inc. - Economic Analvsis Kimberly Parker - Land Development Attorney Bugdal Group - Graphics & Signage 3) Wallace, Roberts and Todd - Prime, Planners Delon Hampton & Associates - Traffic, Parking Economics Research Associates - Market Analysis Page 2 of 4 83-68E Considerations of the selection committee in arriving at the recommended rank order were: 1) The first ranked team demonstrated a thorough knowledge of Dinner Key, the issues, the needs and presented a superior studv design/citizen involve- ment methodology. The firm of Stresau Landscape Architects had major experience and award winning record in waterfront, mixed use open space planning and design standards development. The team was well balanced and the economic consultants in particular had extensive experience in public waterfront specialty center lease management strategy. 2) The second ranked team possessed the most diverse and technically complete team composition and was impressive in terms of desire, commitment and familiarity with the project. A strong presentation was made emphasising considerable experience with similar projects. A drawback was the small size of the office of the prime consultant and the loss of a major team member (Hellmuth, Obata and Kessabaum - Planners) moments before the presentation due to team disagreement on project approach. 3) Wallace, Roberts and Todd, third ranked, gave the most proficient presentation of the day with strong emphasis on team coordination, urban waterfront development experience and extensive parking and traffic planning experience. A drawback was the inability of the strongest, most able team member (Bill Roberts from Philadelphia) to give more than one or two days a month to the project. Concerning minority participation, all teams were advised, with emphasis, of the City's Minority Procurement Program, Ordinances #9434 and #9341. All teams making presentations June 16, complied with the 20% goal of minority participation. Specifically the three consultant teams recommended included the following minority participation: 1) Boerema, Bermello, Kurki and Vera - tinority owned (Latin) and minority project direction (Latin) Ronald Frazier & Associates - Minority_ owned (Black) and minority project planner (Black) Metric Engineering - Minority owned (Latin) and minority project engineer (Latin) Hammer Siler & George - Minority project economist (Black) Stresau, Smith, Stresau - no minority participation.
