COST COMPARISON PROCESS ValleyCrest was contacted by the Parks and Recreation Department Greenspace Management Division on December 5, 2011, to reaffirm its current price for on-going services at the Miami Beach Soundscape, with the intention to formally amend the City's existing agreement with Valleycrest (as selected through ITB 35-09/10 — "Landscape maintenance services on the Boardwalk, Beachwalk, Street ends, and Spoil Areas Citywide") for the remainder of their term, which expires on June 10, 2013, to include the continued servicing of the SoundScape at the current levels provided.

'• As you may re ' II, 'a ninety (90) day maintenance period was incorporated as a component of the Miami Beach .S undScape construction Project. Upon final acceptance of the project by the City, Hines managed all facets of the operation and maintenance of this site in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation epartment for this period. This maintenance phase began on January 24, 2011 and ended on April 4, 2011. The interim maintenance was intended to provide an opportunity for the city finalize peni ling operational issues absociated with the long term management of this facility and ensure a smoot i transition to longterm operations. At the request f the Administration, Hines coordinated a process to obtain request-for proposals. -from four fufl.se vice landscape maintenance companies.Three of the proposers provided service to the city at the ti ne under existing maintenance agreements with the city, and the fourth participated in the construc tion of the site. Hines used. the Parks and Recreation Department's landscape ; spec cations ' use citywide, and co-developed the porter, hardscape and restroom service as detailed in 'th RFP. The cost to provide landscape maintenance.at the newly completed Pennsylvania Garage was also requested, to ensure continuity of maintenance and identify possible benefits from economy of scale opportunities. The lowest oveFall price quote for the prescribed service was received from ValleyCrest Landscape Development a,d Hines recommended the acceptance of this quote as detailed in the letter which included the bid results sent to City on January 21, 2011 (see attached). As the lowest responsive bidder, the prol iosal from ValleyCrest was accepted and they began successful service delivery as detailed above. When the end of the maintenance period, approached, the long-term operational issues for this I cation were still in development.
