Method of Sale Recommendation Memorandum — Special Obligation Parking Revenue Forward
Re: Refunding Note, Series 2019 (Marlins Stadium Parking Facilities Project)
The purpose of this memorandum is to briefly summarize the proposals received from lending institutions
to provide the City of Miami, Florida (the "City") with a fixed-rate loan in the form of a Special Obligation
Parking Revenue Forward Refunding Note, Series 2019 (Marlins Stadium Parking Facilities Project) (the
"2019 Note" or the "Note") and summarize the recommendation of PFM Financial Advisors LLC ("PFM") to
move forward in order to refund the City's Special Obligation Parking Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series
2010A (Marlins Stadium Parking Facilities Project).
On January 10, 2019, PFM, on behalf of the City, distributed a request for proposals to a broad pool of
lenders that are active in municipal lending. PFM's recommendation to proceed with a loan in the form of
a note relies upon the facts that: (1) the credit is well understood by market participants and the RFP would
attract a wide viewership; (2) a direct placement would limit the administrative burden on the City. For
these reasons, PFM recommended that this particular request be sent to the bank lending community. On
January 28th, four proposals were received. A full summary of the proposing firms (in alphabetical order),
along with a brief summary of the key points from each proposal is included in the matrix that follows.
Based on the responses received, the two direct placement proposals were received from AIG Asset
Management U.S. LLC ("AIG") and from Capital One Public Funding, LLC ("Capital One"). The other two
proposals received proposed capital market solutions, which would involve a public sale as opposed to a
direct placement. A short summary of the provisions found in each response is provided below.
AIG — 4.56% indicative rate for a taxable advanced refunding. Rate is based off of 30 Year US
Treasuries plus a spread of 150 basis points. Prepayment option is make -whole provision. Other provisions
include the requirement of a CUSIP and cross -default to other City debt.
Capital One — 3.95% fixed rate for a tax-exempt forward refunding. This rate is locked through
closing, which would be set for May 1, 2020. Prepayment in whole at par after July 1, 2029. Final credit
approval will be provided after the verbal award.
At this time, PFM recommends moving forward with the fixed-rate loan with Capital One. Our
recommendation is based on the fact that Capital One offered the full term and loan amount requested with
in the form of a direct placement note, and had the most advantageous rate and terms of the direct
placement proposals. Based on the proposals received, the 2019 Note would have an All -in TIC of 4.00%
and annual debt service savings of approximately $790,000 through the final maturity of July 1, 2039. This
amounts to approximately $10.5 million in net present value savings, or 12.50% as a percentage of
refunded bonds. We believe the results of this proposal are generally consistent with what a similarly priced
competitive public offering would have yielded. In closing, the key benefits of this type of structure, in
addition to the economic results, are the significant reduction in costs of issuance and reduced
administrative time.
We look forward to continuing to work towards a successful closing for the 2019 Note. Please do not
hesitate to contact us should you have any questions on the details of this memorandum or the included
response matrix.
