ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach, Florida, from time to time, requires the services of qualified firms to conduct
appraisals on various real estate properties, including (but not limited to): pre-lease assessment of
facilities; and appraisals of either vacant or improved land across the City.
On July 25, 2018, the Mayor and City Commission authorized the issuance of Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) 2018-314-WG for Real Estate Appraisal Services. Through this RFQ, the City
sought to review qualifications from interested firms and establish a list of pre-qualified appraisers
who are State of Florida Certified General Appraiser and active and valid MAI (Member of the
Appraisal Institute) designated by the Appraisal Institute. The Administration's goal is to pre-qualify
more than one firm that can submit proposals for appraisal engagements on an as needed basis, in
accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
RFQ PROCESS
On July 27, 2018, RFQ No. 2018-314-WG for Real Estate Appraisal Services was issued. RFQ
responses were due and received August 31, 2018. The Procurement Department issued solicitation
notices to 65 firms utiliang www.publicpurchase.com. Thirty one (31) prospective proposers
accessed the advertised solicitation. The City received proposals from the following four (4) firms:
CBRE, Inc., Cushman and Wakefield, Inc., JLL Valuation and Advisory Services, LLC and the Urban
Group, Inc.

The Evaluation Committee appointed by the City Manager pursuant to LT C# 532-2018 convened on
October 22, 2018, to consider the responsive proposals received. The Committee was comprised of
Jay Fink, Assistant Director, Public Works Department, City of Miami Beach, Manny Marquez,
Assistant Director, Finance Department, City of Miami Beach and Mark Milisits, Division Director,
Tourism, Culture and Economic Development, City of Miami Beach.
The Committee was provided an overview of the project, information relative to the City's Cone of
Silence Ordinance and the Government Sunshine Law. The Committee was also provided with
general information on the scope of services and a copy of each proposal. The Committee was
instructed to score and rank each proposal pursuant to the evaluation criteria established in the RFQ.
The evaluation process resulted in the ranking of proposers as indicated in Attachment A. A brief
description of each proposer, as provided in their response to the RFQ, follows.
CBRE INC.
CBRE has been providing real estate valuation and consulting services to the financial lending
community, institutional clients, government agencies, corporate entities, legal and accounting
professionals, developers and private individuals for over 30 years. They are affiliated with the
Appraisal Institute and are Certified General Real Estate Appraiser.
Cushman and Wakefield Inc.
Cushman & Wakefield is among the largest real estate services firms with 48,000 employees in
approximately 400 offices and 70 countries. In 2017, the firm had revenue of$6.9 billion across core
services of property, facilities and project management, leasing, capital markets, advisory and other
services. Cushman & Wakefield's service platform covers the full spectrum of real estate
requirements.
JLL Valuation and Advisory Services LLC (JLL)
JLL's history spans more than 200 years. Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated was formed in 1999 by
the merger of LaSalle Partners Incorporated and Jones Lang Wootton (JLW). JLL's firm consists of
300+ valuation experts in the United States, with 18 licensed appraisers in the State Florida with an
average of 10 years of appraisal experience including 8 individuals who are licensed in the State of
Florida and hold the Appraisal Institute's MAI designation.
The Urban Group Inc
The Urban Group has been providing real estate appraisals, appraisal reviews and real estate
consulting to both the public and private sector since 1994. In addition to the appraisals completed,
they have also provided expert witness and litigation support when required.
CONCLUSION
After reviewing all of the submissions and the Evaluation Committee's rankings, I believe that all
responding firms are qualified and should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Creating a pre-
qualified pool that is to include CBRE, Inc., Cushman and Wakefield, Inc., JLL Valuation and
Advisory Services, LLC and the Urban Group, Inc., will allow the City to assign appraisal projects to
the most qualified firm depending on the required scope. Additionally, should the Administration
determine that, based on the City's volume of work, the recommended pool of firm will not be
sufficient pre-qualified firms to meet the needs of the City, a subsequent RFQ for additional firm will
be issues to supplement the existing pool.
Therefore, I recommend that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution authorizing the
Administration to award contracts to CBRE, Inc., Cushman and Wakefield, Inc., JLL Valuation and
Advisory Services, LLC and the Urban Group, Inc., to establish a pool of pre-qualified firms for real

estate appraisal services; and further authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreements.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Grant funding will not be utilized for the project.
