RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing the
City negotiate and execute a contract with The Corradino Group, 4055 N.W. 97th Avenue, Miami, Florida
33178, a minority local firm, to provide Consulting Services for preparation of an Evaluation and
Appraisal Report on the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan for the Department of Planning and
Zoning, for two (2) years, with the option to extend for one (1) additional one (1) year period, at an
estimated total cost not to exceed $150,000.00. Funding in the amount of $150,000.00 is available from
Account Code No. 850101.6.270, and funding in the amount of $100,000.00 is available, if necessary,

BACKGROUND
The State of Florida requires that each local government conduct an "evaluation and appraisal" of its
adopted comprehensive plan on a periodic basis, in accordance with guidelines and a schedule
established pursuant to the Florida Statutes and Florida Administrative Code. The resultant Evaluation
and Appraisal Report (EAR) will identify deficiencies in the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
(MCNP) based on recent trends, availability of new data, evolving planning context and new state
regulations. Once updated in accordance with the EAR, the MCNP will be both more compliant with
state requirements and more relevant and user-friendly to City users.
To address this need, RFP 02-03-245 was issued. Three (3) Proposers responded, all of which were
deemed responsive and evaluated by the Evaluation Committee. Following two (2) evaluation meetings,
the Committee short-listed to two (2) firms, and conducted oral presentations. Following these oral
presentations on February 6, 2004, the Committee completed its evaluation and recommended The
Corradino Group, and Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc., in rank order.
The Committee further recommended that should negotiations fail with the top -ranked firm, The
Corradino Group, the City negotiate with the second -ranked firm, Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc., until
a contract is successfully negotiated.
FISCAL IMPACT: None. This is a budgeted Item
