RE: UTILIZATION OF DAMES B PIRTLE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. FOR THE
LITTLE HAITI PARK CULTURAL CAMPUS (B•30295)
Dear Ms. Conway:
We understand that the City of Miami is considering Construction Management at Risk as the
method of delivery, on an expedited, emergency basis for the Little Haiti Park Cultural Campus
component. Our firm presently serves as the architect of record for the design of this project,
located in the vicinity of NW 2nd Avenue and NW 59th Street.
We also understand that the completion of this project is time sensitive for the City given the
nature of its primary funding source and the corresponding desire of the City to significantly
reduce the project timeline. It would appear to be in the best interest of the City to have a
well -regarded, industry expert such as James B. Pirtle Construction serve as the contractor and
Construction Manager at Risk for this project, We recommend James B. Pirtl.e Construction
Company, Inc. for several reasons: 1) their excellent reputation for quality work and ability to
meet their schedules and. construction cost commitments, 2) our extensive experience with
their company, and 3) their current work on and successful completion of several cultural
building type projects of similar size and complexity.
Given this, Pirtle appears uniquely qualified to perform this work and utilization of .this firm is
the best course to achieve the timely completion of the proposed improvements.
Should you require additionalinformation regarding this recommendation, please do not
hesitate to contact me,
Sincerely,
