on the requirements and scope of the RFP, including potential development options that
may be considered in relation to the ongoing proposal renovation of the Convention
Center; and
2. Changing Real Estate Market. The City's real estate market has experienced
significant change and growth since the time the RFP was released. It may be prudent to
re-evaluate the City's options at this time prior to proceeding with proposals that are
nearly two (2) years old; and
3. Master Plan for the Lincoln Road District. The City is in the midst of releasing a
solicitation for a Master Plan of the Lincoln Road District. The proposed Master Plan will .
incorporate the areas of Lincoln Road and north to 17th Street, thereby impacting the
areas under the scope of the RFP.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby
exercises its right under the RFP to cancel the solicitation and reject all proposals received in
response to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 14-11/12 for a Public-Private Development in

BACKGROUND
On December 14, 2011, the Mayor and City Commission authorized the issuance of
Request for Proposals No. 14-11/12 for a Public-Private Development in Miami Beach on
North Lincoln Lane, between Alton Road and Meridian Avenue, including City-owned
Parking Lot #25 on 17" Street and Lenox Avenue, Parking Lot #26 on North Lincoln Lane,
between Lenox Avenue and Michigan Avenue, and Parking Lot# 27 on North Lincoln Lane,
between Jefferson Avenue and Meridian Avenue (the RFP).
The RFP was issued on January 17, 2012, with an opening date for proposals on March
231 2012. The City received four (4) proposals in response to the RFP from the following
firms:
1. Lanestar Partners, LLC;
2. Lincoln Road Development, LLC;
3. Lincoln Square, LLC; and
4. Team No1Ii.

appointed an Evaluation Committee (the "Committee") to review proposals received. The
Committee was comprised of the following individuals:

• Elsie Howard, Former Chair of MBVCA
• Jay Levy, Real Estate I Architect
• Marilys Nepomechie, Architect I FIU Professor of Architecture I Preservationist
• Alan Randolph, Bank Executive I Past Chair of the Miami Beach Chamber of
Commerce
• Aileen Ugalde, UM Corporate Counsel
• Tom Mooney, City of Miami Beach Planning I Research and Design Manager
On May 11, 2012, the Committee convened to shortlist proposers in accordance with the criteria
set forth in the RFP. The results of the evaluation committee process resulted in the following
ranking:
1. Team Nolli
2. Lincoln Square
3. Lanestar Partners
4. Lincoln Road Development
Following the ranking of proposals by the Committee, the City received a complaint by one of the
proposers alleging that a Sunshine Law violation had resulted from the Committee's actions, in that
the Committee's final deliberations were not open to the public. At the time, the City was in the
process of determining how to implement a recent amendment to the Florida Statutes which
provided that evaluation committee meetings where proposer's made oral presentations to the
committee no longer had to be open to the public, provided they were recorded. The City
construed this requirement to also include the portion of those meetings pertaining to matters other
than presentations, such as deliberations, hence, the resulting challenge.
At the October 3, 2012 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee ("FCWPC"), a discussion was
had regarding the alleged Sunshine Law issues. Following the discussion, FCWPC recommended
that the City "cure" any alleged violation by reconvening a new evaluation committee to RFP re-
hear the proposers' presentations. This was the last action taken as to the RFP; at that time, the
City was also becoming increasingly involved with the Miami Beach Convention Center district
RFQ, with result being that the City's limited resources and manpower were necessarily being
directed toward that project. The RFP was placed on hold, with no further action taken. It has now
been nearly two (2) years since the City received proposals in response to the RFP.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the following, it is recommended that, as provided in the RFP, the City Commission
exercised its right to cancel the RFP and reject all proposals received in response to the RFP:
1. New Leadership. The City has experienced a significant change in leadership, both
administrative and elected. The new leadership has not had an opportunity to weigh in on
the requirements and scope of the RFP, including potential development options that may
be considered in relation to the ongoing proposal renovation of the Convention Center.
2. Changing Real Estate Market. The City's real estate market has experienced significant
change and growth since the time the RFP was released. It may be prudent to re-evaluate
the City's options at this time prior to proceeding with proposals that are nearly two (2)
years old.
3. Master Plan for the Lincoln Road District. The City is in the midst of releasing a
solicitation for a Master Plan of the Lincoln Road District. The proposed Master Plan will
incorporate the areas of Lincoln Road and north to 17th Street, thereby impacting the areas
under the scope of the RFP.
