Re: RFL1 03-04-101R: Management and Operation of a Tethered Balloon Ride at Bayfront Park
Dear Mr. Arriola:
As Chairperson of the Evaluation Committee ("Committee") for the above services for the
Bayfront Park Management Trust (Trust), it is my responsibility to offer the findings and
recommendation of the Committee.
The City issued an RFLI for the Management and Operation of a Tethered Balloon Ride at
Bayfront Park on April 12, 2004, and two (2) responses were received by May 3, 2004. The
Evaluation Committee ("Committee"), appointed by the Chairman of the Bayfront Park
Management Trust and approved by the City Manager, met twice, with the final meeting held on
June 15, 2004, at which time oral presentations were conducted from the two (2) firms.
Following the oral presentations, the Committee finalized its evaluation of the two (2) proposers.
Following discussion and deliberation, the Committee recommends the following rank order:
1. Skylift Holding, LLC
2. Miami Balloon Company, Inc.
Should contract negotiations fail with the top ranked firm, Skylift Holding LLC, the Committee
recommends the Trust negotiate with the second ranked firm, Miami Balloon Company, Inc.
Sincerely,
Elena V. Carpenter, Chair
BPMT Tethered Balloon Ride Committee
Approved:
Joe Arriola
