On June 15th, 2015, the City's Department of Real Estate and Asset Management (DREAM) issued Request
for Proposal (RFP) No. 14-15-024 for the development and lease of the North Riverfront Property located
at 236 and 298 S.W. North River Drive, Miami, Florida 33130. On said date, the solicitation period
commenced and the RFP was then available fora total duration of ninety-one (91) days thereafter.
On September 14th, 2015, the solicitation period closed with a single proposal submittal in response to
the RFP. Contemporaneous with the solicitation's closure, City Ordinance No. 13540 was enacted
providing the City with the methods to directly negotiate and enter into leases or management
agreements for City -owned submerged lands with entities having a possessory or ownership interest in
the abutting riparian uplands and providing the City with the methods and procedures by which it can
ensure that any such leases or management agreements result in a return to the City of at least fair
market value, Consequently, concerning this RFP, the City had not negotiated any amounts with the
State and, thus, could not ensure the fair market value as required per law.
Due to receipt of a single proposal, rejection of the same and issuance of a new RFP, inclusive of the City -
owned submerged lands requirements pursuant to Ordinance No. 13540, as amended, utilizing such
advertisement mediums deemed necessary to attract various competing offers and realize the most
favorable return possible for the City, have been recommended. Pursuant to City Code Chapter 18,
Article V, Section 18-177, the City Manager hereby submits this recommendation to the City Commission
for their rejection of all proposals.
In accordance with the same, the City Manager seeks the Commission's approval to reject the single
proposal received and reissue said RFP, inclusive of the City -owned submerged lands requirements
pursuant to Ordinance No, 13540, as amended, with said reissued RFP to be made available to the public
for a minimum of ninety (90) days.
