COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
IA Resolution rejecting all responses for the management and operations of the North Shore Park Tennis
Center, waiving the competitive bidding process and amending the management agreement with Green
Square, Inc., to provide professional tennis management and operations services for the North Shore Park
Tennis Center, and modifying select terms and conditions of the existing agreement.
Issue:
Shall the City Commission reject all responses for the management and operations of the North Shore
Park Tennis Center waive the competitive bidding process and amend the agreement with Green Square,
Inc., to provide professional tennis management and operations services for the North Shore Park Tennis
Center, and modify select terms and conditions of the existing Green Square, Inc. management
agreement.
Item Summary/Recommendation:
At the January 9, 2002, Commission meeting the Administration recommended the City enter into
negotiations with the top ranked firm of Green Square, Inc., to manage and operate the Flamingo Tennis
Center; and approve the rejection of all proposals received relating to the North Shore Park Tennis Center.
A discussion was held and the Flamingo Park and North Shore Park issues were bifurcated. A motion was
approved for the Administration to negotiate with Green Square, Inc., for the Flamingo Park Tennis Center
only. A second motion was made to negotiate with Richard Johnston for the North Shore Park Tennis
Center.
The Administration negotiated a contract with Green Square, Inc. which was approved by the City
Commission on April 10, 2002. In spite of a concerted effort to negotiate acceptable terms and conditions
with Richard Johnston for the North Shore Park Tennis Center an impasse was declared and affirmed by

him the option of managing and operating the North Shore Tennis Center under the same terms as was

September and needs operations and management personnel. Green Square, Inc. has provided quality
services at Flamingo and has agreed to do so at North Shore under the same terms as proposed in the
amended agreement. To re-bid at this time would substantially delay the openin~l of the tennis center.

MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, REJECTING ALL PROPOSALS RECEIVED FOR
THE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF THE NORTH SHORE TENNIS
CENTER AS SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
(RFP) NO. 8-00/01; FURTHER APPROVING, BY 5/7THS VOTE, A WAIVER

AGREEMENT FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL TENNIS

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
In 2001, the Administration initiated a review of the management structure for the
Tennis Centers. It was determined that, because it had been several years since a
Request for Proposals for the Management of the Tennis Centers had been issued and
in light of the impending substantial improvements to the tennis centers, it was time to
issue a new Request for Proposals for the comprehensive management and operations
services at the City's Tennis Centers.

At the January 9, 2002, Commission meeting the Administration recommended the City
be authorized to enter into negotiations with the top ranked firm of Green Square, Inc.,
to manage and operate the Flamingo Tennis Center; and approve the rejection of all
proposals received relating to the North Shore Park Tennis Center. After Commission
discussion, the two centers were considered separately. The discussion concluded with
the motion to approve the Administration's recommendation to negotiate with Green
Square, Inc., for the Flamingo Park Tennis Center only. A second motion was made to
negotiate with Richard Johnston for the North Shore Park Tennis Center.
As directed the Administration successfully negotiated a contract with Green Square,
Inc. to manage and operate the Flamingo Tennis Center. This agreement was
approved by the City Commission on April 10, 2002. Additionally, as directed, in
November of 2002, the Administration entered into negotiations with Richard Johnston
for the management and operations of the North Shore Tennis Center. In spite of a
concerted effort to negotiate acceptable terms and conditions with Richard Johnston for
the North Shore Park Tennis Center an impasse was declared and affirmed by Mr.
Johnston and his attorney on February of 2003.
Since executing the Management Agreement, Green Square, Inc. has provided high
quality professional tennis services for the patrons of the Flamingo Tennis Center. The
level of customer satisfaction is high and the residents of Miami Beach partaking of
tennis services are generally pleased with the maintenance standards of the facility,
professionalism of the staff and the quality of the programs, lessons and clinics.
However, since early 2003, the management of Green Square, Inc., has expressed
concern that they were generating substantially less revenue than they had originally
projected. This issue was putting the quality level of the programs and services at risk
and therefore the management has requested considerations be given to them in terms
of amendment to the existing management agreement.
Green Square, Inc., request for the City to amend the current agreement is based on
the following concerns:
The impact of the on-going down turn the economy has had on individual's
willingness to expend their discretionary income on leisure time activities such as
after school tennis for their children or a private lesson for themselves.
2. The impact the negative economy, the potential military action and the threats of
terrorism has had on attracting the tennis playing tourist visiting Miami Beach.
3. The inequality of the City's currently established tennis fees as compared to the
other municipal tennis facilities in the market area.
City Commission Memorandum
July 30, 2003
Green Square Tennis Management Agreement Amendments
Page 3
The uncertainty of Green Square, Inc.'s future and their inability to maintain a level
of quality service and client list based on the impending closure of the Flamingo
Tennis Center for at least twelve (12) months while the tennis center is completely
renovated. If they are required to suspend services for this period due to the lack of
an alternative facility, they will lose all the momentum and client contact they have
built up since taking over the Flamingo Tennis Center.
In order to continue to manage and operate at the level of service and establish an on-
going high quality program long term, with a fair return to the company, Green Square
Inc. requested the following amendments to the existing agreement:
Proposed Manaqement Agreement Amendments
1. Premises to be Managed: The certain City-owned recreational facilities
commonly known as the Flamingo Tennis Center located at 11~h Street and Jefferson
Avenue, and the North Shore Park Tennis Center located at 501 72nd Street

2. Fees Structure: The Contractor will collect all revenues generated at the
Flamingo and North Shore Tennis Centers on behalf of the City and deposit them into

per month forboth tennis facilities or a percentage of gross receipts/revenues, which
ever is greater, for the remaining period of this Agreement based on the percentages
stipulated in the Schedule To Price Proposal Form submitted by Green Square in their
response to the RFP and incorporated herein as "Exhibit A" of the attached
Agreement. Said minimum payment shall be adjusted to $1,550 per month immediately
upon the closure of the Flamingo Park Tennis Center for construction and remain in
effect until the Flamingo Tennis Center is reopened.
3. Term: Three (3) years, with two (2) one-year extensions on a year to year basis
at the City's option. Additionally, the City shall have the option to terminate this

continuity and convenience of its residents, and for the water and sewer used at the
Center during the term of this Agreement.
Fees: The Administration with input and review of the Parks and Recreational
Facilities Advisory Board has developed a revised tennis fees schedule which is
included in the Parks and Recreation Department's comprehensive fees
schedule. If approved by the City Commission the new fee structure will be
implemented by Green Square, Inc. effective October 1,2003 at the Flamingo
and North Shore Tennis Center.
Attached to this Commission memorandum is a schedule explaining the economic
impact of this amendment and outlining the yearly expenses that will be borne by the
City of Miami Beach after the amendment. In addition, attached is a listing of current
programs offered by Green Square, Inc. at Flamingo and the proposed programs to be
offered at the North Shore Tennis Center.
City Commission Memorandum
July 30, 2003
Green Square Tennis Management Agreement Amendments
Page 5
The recommendation to waive the competitive bidding process and add the
management and operations of the North Shore Park Tennis Center is based on the
following factors:
A)
In spite of a concerted effort to negotiate acceptable terms and conditions with
Richard Johnston for the North Shore Park Tennis Center as directed by the City
Commission an impasse was declared and affirmed by Mr. Johnston and his
attorney. Additionally, due to the requested amendment to the terms in the Green
Square agreement, the Administration again contacted Mr. Johnston on May 30,
2003, offer him the option of managing and operating the North Shore Tennis
Center under the same terms as was being requested in the amendment by Green
Square, Inc.
On June 17, 2003, Mr. Johnston indicated he could not accept the most recent
terms and on June 20, 2003, the Administration sent Mr. Johnston a
correspondence to confirm his rejection of the May 30th proposal. Please see the
attached copy of this correspondence.
B)
The North Shore Tennis Center is anticipated to open in August or September and
needs operations and management personnel. To re-bid at this time would
substantially delay the opening of this new state of the art tennis facility for at least
90 days.
C) Green Square, Inc. has satisfactorily provided quality customer service and
professional tennis operations and management atthe Flamingo Tennis Center for
more than one year. During this time they have built a substantial client base
comprise of Miami Beach residents as well as hotel and day guests. They have
expressed their willingness to provide the same level of service to the residents and
guests of North Beach. Additionally, operating North Shore Park Tennis Center
while the Flamingo Tennis Center is closed for renovations will ensure continuity for
our residents now utilizing the services provided by Green Square, Inc., at the
Flamingo Tennis Center.
D) Based on an operational analysis the Administration has determined it is far more
beneficial to the City to amend the Green Square, Inc. agreement to include the
North Shore Tennis Center than to delay the process and issue a new bid or to
manage it utilizing Parks and Recreation personnel. Attached is a summary of this
analysis.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
attached resolution to ensure the ongoing provision of quality and cost effective tennis
management and operations services at the City's Flamingo and North Shore Parks
Tennis Centers.

GreenSquare Summer Camp was designed to incorporate the same teaching methods used by
world-renowned Nick Bollettieri. With recreational players in mind, campers still benefit from
the most advance teaching methods used by Mr. Bollettieri. But unlike Nick's goal of making
champions, our focus is on teaching fundamentals and having fun.
GreenSquare offers an array of activities that compliment its world class academy-style tennis
program. Campers enjoy a variety of activities that include swimming, soccer, basketball,
baseball, kickball, indoor games and activities such as cards, bingo, movies, and arts and crafts.
Located in the heart of world famous south Beach (just minutes away from Ocean drive and
Lincoln Road) parents can now include their summer plans with their kids. Go play awhile they
play. And for the tennis mom and dad, adult programs are also available (look under "programs"

Subject: Greensquare Inc.
Dear Jorge:
Just wanted to thank you for having recommended the Greensquare Group to the commission. They have been incredible at
promoting tennis on Miami Beach and the quality of service they provide is spectacular! You should see how well attended the
clinics are. They cater to all levels of play and having clearly demonstrated that they provide a superior product, have been
attracting top level players.
My team competed in USTA sanctioned tournaments and missed playing in state finals by one game! They had four adult
tournaments with 70 players participating on average. They had several junior tournaments as well. The ladders for competitive
play are available in A and B divisions, and social round robins are free on Monday mornings.
I would like to recommend them and hope they will continue to provide tennis instruction to Miami Beach residents. It would really
be a shame to lose them! I hope the commission carefully considers making concessions to help keep the Greensquare Group on
Miami Beach!
Thanks again for everything.
Fondly,
Terry Jonas
