Identify industries with growth potential that are also compatible with the economic and environmental future of the City of Miami by applying shift -share analysis or an alter- native analytic technique, if appropriate. Potential growth sectors should be identified in three areas: 1) Domestic and international industries which are not currently found in Miami, but which Miami has potential to attract and de- velop, 2) industries which are currently operating in Miami which have further growth potential,' and 3) regional econo- mic functions which can be centered in Miami to service the Metropolitan Dade County area and the South Florida region. In addition, for each of the three areas of potential growth the various factors affecting development potential arc to be discussed.

The final date for response to that advertisement was August 18, 1978. All responses were acknow- ledged by correspondence on August 23, 1978. The RRt? Technical Review Committee met on September 7, 1978 for the purpose of reviewing, discussing, and evaluating responses to the RFp, as well as to establish procedures for continuation of the Con- sultant selection process. As a result of the Committee's delibera- tions on September 7, 1978, three of the thirteen responding firms were, by consensus, eliminated from further consideration due to a poor evaluation of their capabilities to undertake the project(s) coupled with a lack of professional experience on a similar type pro- ject(s). After agreement was reached on the ten firms for 'further consideration, the Committee, after considerable discussion of project scope and avail- able budgetary resources decided to revamp the specifications of the pro- ject(s). As a result, as an alternative to two separate research studies, the Committee agreed to have the ten selected firms prepare final pro- posals in response to revised' Scope of Services Specifications. This revision , it was agreed would specify a single three -task phase research project rather than the two separate studies described in the original Request for Proposals. n budget of $70,000 and a six-month time frame were established for the project. I was assigned responsibility for continuing the Consultant selection process by coordinating the preparation of the revised and more detailed scope of services specifications and contacting the thirteen firms as to the Technical. Review Committee's response to their respective pro- posals to provide professional services.
