Requesting Department: Department of Real
Estate and Asset Management; Office of
Capital Improvements
Sponsored By:
District Impacted: District 5
Type: Resolution
Subject: Approve Emergency Findings - Olympia Theater and Apartments
Purpose of Item:
The purpose of this item is to authorize a resolution of the Miami City Commission, by a
four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote, retroactively ratifying, confirming and approving the
City Manager's emergency findings, incorporated as Exhibit "A", that is it most
advantageous for the City of Miami to waive the competitive sealed bidding procedure
pursuant to Section 18-90 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida as amended ("City
Code") and retroactively approving the selection of various providers for the provision of
various services such as architectural, engineering, and construction services
necessary for building recertification, stabilization, health and human safety items, and
maintenance of equipment and systems for the Olympia Theater on behalf of the
Department of Real Estate and Asset Management ("DREAM") and the Office of Capital
Improvements ("OCI"); Authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute any and
all documents, including any amendments, renewals, and extensions, subject to all
allocations, appropriations, prior budgetary approvals, compliance with all applicable
provisions of the City Code, including the City's Procurement Ordinance, Anti -Deficiency
Act, and Financial Integrity Principles, all as set forth in Chapter 18 of the City Code, in
a form acceptable to the City Attorney, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules,
and regulations, as may be deemed necessary for said purpose.
Background of Item:
The Olympia Theater and the Olympia Apartments ("Olympia Theater") are co -
located in a building at the southwest corner of NE 2nd Avenue and East Flagler Street.
The Olympia Theater is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been owned
by the City of Miami since 1975. The Olympia Theater requires major capital, structural,
and electrical repairs identified during its 40/50-year recertification process, including
the exterior brick facade, and the condition of the Olympia Theater constitutes a danger
to the public health or safety.
It is not practicable or advantageous to the City to proceed with the procurement
process outlined in Florida Statute (F.S.) 287.055 for the provision of architectural and
engineering services necessary for building recertification and stabilization of the
structure to ensure the public's health and safety. Furthermore, it was not feasible for
the City to proceed with a procurement process as outlined in Florida State Statute F.S.
287.055 because this process would have delayed vital repairs to the facility and may
have resulted in the potential loss of revenue and funding at the Olympia Theater. F.S.
287.055, Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act ("CCNA"), permits exemptions to
these requirements in emergency situations, as stated in Section 3 (a) (1), entitled
"Public Announcement and Qualifications Procedures," allowing the City Manager as
"Agency Head" to declare an emergency. Accordingly, the City Manager, pursuant to
Section 18-90 of the City, approved an emergency finding on July 2, 2023.
It is also not practicable or advantageous to the City to proceed with the
procurement outlined in F.S. 255.20 for public construction works, which can take six (6)
months, delaying the repair and stabilization of the Olympia Theatre. Such delay is not
in the best interest of the City and its constituents, as the damage to this facility poses a
public safety issue, including threats to health, life, and safety, and a loss of revenue to
the City.
F.S. 255.20, does however permit exemptions to these requirements in emergency
situations, as stated in sub -section (1)(c)(1): "The provisions of this subsection do not
apply: 1. If the project is undertaken to replace, reconstruct, or repair an existing public
building, structure, or other public construction works damaged or destroyed by a
sudden unexpected turn of events such as an act of God, riot, fire, flood, accident, or
other urgent circumstances, and such damage or destruction creates: a. An immediate
danger to the public health or safety; b. Other loss to public or private property which
requires emergency government action; or c. An interruption of an essential
governmental service."
Therefore, pursuant to the City Manager's emergency findings (original memo,
supplemental to memo and supplement No. 2), certifying valid public emergency it is
most advantageous for the City to waive the competitive sealed bidding procedures
pursuant to Section 18-90 of the City of Miami Code; F.S. 287.055; and F.S.
255.20(1)(c)(1) for the Olympia Theatre and Apartments repairs and stabilization.
