The CRA issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 11-009 for Architecture Services -Design
Criteria Package for the Miami Entertainment Complex on April 10th, 2012. Three (3) qualification
packages were received (list attached) and evaluated by a selection committee based on the requirements of
the RFQ and as stipulated by Florida Statutes Chapter 287.055 "Consultants' Competitive Negotiation

be executed with the #1 ranked firm in the amount of $200,000 (scope of work, schedule and fee proposal

Design/Build project and therefore, a Design Criteria Package is the first step in the process.

authorized $1,087,268 for the planning, design, construction and development of the Miami
