ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On July 2nd, 199"T, in accordance with the Garage Development Agreement between the RDA and

component of the Anchor Shops at South Beach and Parking were sent to the six pre-selected garage

the RDA and MB Redevelopment, Inc. The list included USA Parking, Quick Park, Apcoa, Inc.,
Central Parking System, Centre City Parking, and Republic Parking System.
On August 7, 1997, proposals were received from three of the recipients of the RFQ: USA Parking,
Central Parking Systems, and Quick Park. Following a review of the proposals by the Legal
Department to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the RFQ, a Review Committee

The Committee's role was to evaluate and rank each of the proposals based upon the written
submissions and oral presentations provided by the three proposers. The Committee's
recommendations were then provided to the Executive Director for approval prior to being
presented to the Chairman and Members of the RDA. The Committee's recommendations as to the
ranking of the proposals are being provided in an advisory capacity only. The Chairman and
Members of the RDA are not bound by the Review Committee's recommendations.
On October 8, 1997, the three proposers made formal presentations before the Review Committee.
After the last presentation, the Review Committee defined the procedure for the deliberation and
for ranking the proposals. At the beginning of the meeting, Chip Newell informed the Committee
of his firm's potential conflict of interest involving two of the operators - Central and USA Parking.
While Peebles Atlantic Development Group does not have a working relationship with the two
companies, they are negotiating on two parking projects in which they may be involved. Lawrence
Levy, serving in the capacity of counsel to the Committee, recommended that Chip Newell abstain
from voting.
The Committee agreed that the firms would be ranked by the number of first-place votes they
received. The six voting members of the Review Committee voted as follows:
Number of first -
place votes
Number of second-
place votes
Number of third-
place votes

ANALYSIS
The Committee ranked Quick Park as the first choice on the basis of the company's experience in
running hotel-related parking and valet operations. Quick Park has a strong hotel client base which
includes Hyatt and Helmsley Hotels. Additional reasons given included the company's presentation
and understanding of how to tie in the parking operations between the hotels and the 16th Street
Garage. USA Parking made a very good, professional presentation.
The committee did discuss the fact that Quick Park had the highest operating budget of the three
proponents but noted that this was an RFQ and not an RFP, and that the terms would be negotiable.

,
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends entering into negotiations with Quick Park under the condition that
if acceptable operating terms cannot be reached, negotiations proceed with the second-ranked firm,
USA Parking.
