Re: Marlins Stadium Site Parking Project
Dear Mr. Aluko;
LEO A DALY is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 4, 2009. Through that letter, City of
Miami, pursuant to Resolution 09-020, requested our firm to look further into utilizing CBE's in our
Marlins Stadium Site Parking. We fully appreciate the City of Miami Commission, specifically
Commissioner Spence Jones' position, with regards to the participation of Small Business in
Government Contracts.
As business leaders in our community, we realize the importance of including small businesses in
institutional projects. Therefore, we thoroughly reviewed the City of Miami RFQ # 08-09-017 for the
selection of an A/E Firm during the solicitation process and learned that there was not a specific
requirement to include small businesses as part of the professional services team for this project.
However, we are pleased to report that we assembled a team,jawhich five of ott_r six sub rrincultantc
are Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) firms, which represents 26°J° of the total fee or $1,232,237.50.
We are committing to add an additional CBE firm to the team at a 2%.participation level; this will
increase our CBE participation to 28% or $1,327,024.96.
The firms with current CBE status that will be working with LED A DALY in the design of this project
along with their respective percent of participation are as follow:
Firms
CIVICA Group

Rosenberg Gardner
Louis J. Aguirre & Associates
