The City of Miami and Miami -Dade County are jointly seeking to implement a master planning
process that studies Virginia Key in its entirety. Request for Qualifications (`RFQ") No. 03-04-028
was issued to secure a multidisciplinary team of consultants with demonstrated experience to provide
services to create a Master Plan for Virginia Key for the office of the City Manager. Resolution No.

EDSA, Inc., the top ranked firm; said negotiations are ongoing and final Professional Services

The grant awarded by the Department of Environmental Protection provides for total funding in the
amount of $50,000 with a local match of an equal amount being funded by the City of Miami for
developing the Virginia Key Master Plan. Part of the cost of the Master Plan currently under
