This memorandum serves to request your authorization to seek Commission approval to waive
competitive bidding procedures and enter into a Lease Agreement with 3700 Grand Avenue, LLC, to
lease a property at 3727 Grand Avenue for a term of two years at a rate of $18,000 a year for the use
of the site as a Police Sub Station.
The City of Miami ("City") is desirous of obtaining increased police visibility and a police presence
for the residents living in the west Grove and surrounding neighborhoods. The Police Substation
will increase security and deter crime in this location. 3700 Grand Avenue, LLC, ("Landlord")
owns the property at 3727 Grand Avenue, Miami, Florida (the "Premises") and the Police
Department has an urgent need to rent this space for a police substation. The Landlord is willing to
offer the Premises to the City for an $18,000.00 year rent for the increased police presence and
visibility to be afforded by the City of Miami Police Department and the City is desirous of renting
the Premises. The lease payments shall be paid at the sole cost and expense of the Sarnoff
Foundation ("Foundation") therefore there shall be no cost to the City for the lease of the Premises.
In addition, the lease value is below market rent. The $1,500 per month rent includes all utilities.
This is not common and further reduces the net effective rent.
Based on the foregoing, we request your approval to seek Commission authorization to waive
competitive bidding procedures and enter into a Lease Agreement with 3700 Grand Avenue, LLC
for the term of two years at no costs to the City.
