ANAL YSIS
The Evaluation Committee met on January 7, 1999 to review proposals in terms of the criteria
established in the RFQ. Based on experience and information contained in the proposals, the
Evaluation Committee invited four (4) firms to make oral presentations on January II, 1999. All
committee members were present.
After the presentations, each proposal was evaluated by each committee member in accordance with
the criteria listed in the Request for Qualifications:
Firm's Experience.
Project Manager's and Project Team's Experience.
Results of Previous Similar Projects.
The scores were compiled indicating that a majority, six of the seven members, of the committee
selected Kimley Horn & Associates, Inc. as the top-ranked respondent because of its overall
experience. Duany Plater-Zyberk (DPZ) and CH2M Hill, the consultant for the City's Master Plan
for a Storm Water Drainage System, are both part of the Kimley Horn team. Undergrounding of
utilities is considered to be an integral component of the South Pointe Streetscape Plan and the
ability ofIGmley Horn to facilitate this undertaking was enhanced by having DPZ and CH2M Hill
as team members.
The committee selected the fIrm of Bermello-Ajamil & Partners, Inc. as the second-ranked
respondent.
In accordance with the terms of the RFQ, the City Manager acting as the Executive Director of the
Redevelopment Agency, has reviewed the Evaluation Committee's recommendation and concurs
with its ranking of proposals.
The negotiated contract will be submitted to the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency Board for
approval, and to the City Commission for ratification.

received and authorizing the Redevelopment Agency staff to negotiate a contract with the top-
