("Property 1"), by which the City received one (1) responsive and responsible bid at a proposed purchase price of
$755,000.00 from Goulds Investment Group, LLC. The sole bid received will require City Commission approval and
subsequent referendum approval to sell Property 1 pursuant to Section 29-B of the Charter of the City of Miami,
Florida, as amended ("City Charter"), which states as follows:
"...if there are less than three (3) such proposals received and if the guaranteed return under the
proposal whose acceptance is being considered is equal to fair market value the city commission
determines that the contemplated sale or lease will be in the city's best interest then, subject to the
approval of a majority of the votes cast by the electorate at a referendum, the sale or lease may be
consummated..."
Additionally, Section 18-177 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("City Code"):
"The city manager shall submit recommendations as to the award to the city commission, which may
reject all bids."
Therefore, subject to City Commission approval, DREAM recommends the reissuance of the solicitation for
