Approval of Evaluation
Committee's Recommendation
pursuant to RFP on the Old
Teatro Marti site
Letter dated January 26, 2005
from Committee Chairperson
On November 20, 2004 a committee was created to review three proposals received by the City of
Miami in response to an RFP that was advertised for a redevelopment opportunity to purchase, plan,
design, develop and construct a mixed -used project on a City of Miami property located at 400-430
SW 8th Avenue in East Little Havana neighborhood previously known as El Teatro Marti.
The Committee voted to recommend that we negotiate with only the first two proposers in the
following rank order: Amco Holdings, LLC and El Teatro Development, LLC. The committee
agreed.that in the event Amco Holdings, LLC project's design requires extraordinary zoning approval
requiring a public hearing, you may, at your sole and reasonable discretion, proceed to negotiate with
the second ranked proposer, El Teatro Development, LLC. `''; The recommendation of E1 Teatro
Development, LLC was conditioned upon modifications being made to the proposed parking ancl
retail component acceptable to the City of Miami Planning Department. A copy of the Committee's
recommendation is attached hereto for reference.
Pursuant to the RFP, following your consideration of the findings of the Committee, you may
recommend one or more, or none of the proposals to the City Commission for negotiations. It is
requested at this time that you indicate by signing below if you approve the Committee's
recommendation. If you wish to disapprove or make an alternative recommendation in compliance
with the RFP, please indicate so below. Once we receive your recommendation, we will prepare the
appropriate legislation for consideration by the City Commission.
