Background of Item: The City of Miami ("City") owns the riverfront property located at 444 Southwest 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida, commonly known as the Miami Riverside Center ("MRC"). The City's administrative facility is currently in progress to be relocated from the MRC and developed at another location in order to accommodate the increasing number of the City's administrative employees and meet the growing needs of the City's residents and businesses. On February 2, 2016 the City issued a competitive solicitation, inclusive of Offering Memorandum No. 15-16-008 ("OM") for the sale/lease of the MRC, and Request for Proposals No. 15-16-009 ("RFP") for the development of a new City administrative facility (collectively the "OM & RFP"). Pursuant to Resolution No. 16-0611, adopted on December 8, 2016, the City Commission approved the City Manager's and Selection Committee's recommendation to select the top -ranked bidder, Lancelot Miami River, LLC, an affiliate of Adler Group ("Lancelot"). Pursuant to Resolution No. 18-0324, adopted on July 26, 2018, the City Commission approved the ballot language and on November 6, 2018, the lease/sale of the MRC was approved by the electorate. The City Commission approved Resolution No. 19-0050 selecting the Lancelot -owned property located adjacent to the City's Miami Riverside Center at 230 SW 3rd Street, Miami, Florida ("Nexus Site") as the location for the City's new administrative building. On April 28, 2022, the City Commission authorized the City Manager to execute various agreements with Miami Freedom Park, LLC ("MFP") to lease and develop the properties located generally at 1400 NW 37 Ave and 1550 NW 37 Ave into a Soccer Stadium and commercial development. A portion of the land to be remediated and redeveloped by MFP as a public benefit includes the former Melreese Golf Course Clubhouse, which is located on a portion of 1550 NW 37th Avenue ("Melreese Site"). The City Commission has determined that the Melreese Site is the preferred and ideal location for the City's new administrative building and wishes for the City Manager to negotiate and bring back for Commission approval such amendments to the existing agreements with Lancelot to proceed with the construction of the City's admin building at the Melreese Site ("Amendments").
