RE: Recommendation of the Evaluation Committee
for RFP 219225 - Administration of the Parking
Surcharge Program
Mr. Migoya:
As Chairperson of the Evaluation Committee ("Committee") for the above services for the City of
Miami, it is my responsibility to offer the findings and recommendation of the Committee.
The City issued RFP 219225 for Administration of the Parking Surcharge Program on July 8'n
2010 and one (1) Proposal, from Complete Consulting Services Group, LLC,(CCSG) was
received July 28, 2010. The Evaluation Committee ("Committee"), appointed by the City
Manager, met on August 5, 2010, and was comprised of the following individuals:
1. Eli Feinberg, President EMF & Associates, Inc.
2. Sandor Lenner, CPA
3. William R. Foster, CAPP — Executive Director, Parking FIU
Following discussion, evaluation and deliberation of the one proposal received, the Committee
recommended Complete Consulting Services Group, LLC provide Administration of the Parking
Surcharge Program.
In addition, the Committee discussed the following for your consideration.
Background:
At present, the proposal between CCSG and the City provide that the City pay CCSG a fixed
percentage fee of total parking collections ranging from 4% to 4.3%. A consensus of the
Committee was that consideration be given to establishing a contingent incentive fee payable
to CCSG, rather than paying a fixed percentage ranging from 4% to 4.3%. In summary, if CCSG
is able to achieve certain agreed-upon results, then a higher percentage or fee would be paid
and alternatively, should they fail to achieve those agreed-upon results, they would be
penalized. This type of arrangement incentivizes them to increase their monitoring efforts to
maximize parking surcharge collections for this City, Which is not uncommon for the industry.
Recommendation:
Given the current economic climate and the City's history with the owner of CCSG, we believe
that more favorable terms should be negotiated.
Upon successful contract negotiations, the recommendation from the City Manager to the City
Commission seeking permission to authorize and execute the professional services agreement
will be presented al the next available meeting.
Your signature below Irepnis your approval of the Committee's recommendation.
APPROVED. DATE:
Carlos A. Migoya, City Manager
Sincerely,
Sandor E. Lenner, CPA
