BACKGROUND:
The City Administration, through the Department of Purchasing and
Property Management, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 89-
89/99) for the Construction and Maintenance of Bus Stop Shelters
with Advertising at various locations throughout the City of Miami
Beach.
Under the existing agreement, the Contractor installed some sixty-
three (63) bus stop shelters on major streets and thoroughfares.
Although this number is less than the 100 scheduled in the agreement,
the contractor and the city experienced difficulty in identifying the
necessary suitable locations where easements from property owners
could be obtained for construction of the balance. Accordingly, the
RFP called for continuation of the existing shelter locations (either
through maintenance or replacement) and the construction of a minimum
of an additional forty (40) shelters during the term of the new
agreement.
The RFP asked proposers to base their proposal on a percentage of
gross receipts which would be paid to the city. The existing
agreement required a payment of 26. 1% (paid quarterly) , while most
similar agreements in South Florida included a requirement of 15%.
The minimum offer which would be accepted under the RFP was 15%. A
monthly minimum guaranteed payment was also required by the terms of
the RFP.
TABULATION OF PROPOSALS RECEIVED:
Please see the attached tabulation of the proposals received. The
amount proposed by Adshelters, Inc. for percentage payment (30%) was
higher than that proposed by Shelter Advertising of America, Inc.
(15%) . Shelter Advertising of America, Inc. proposed an escalating
monthly minimum payment beginning at $3 , 000 and gradually increasing
to $4 , 250.

The monthly gross revenues subject to the fee under the current
agreement have averaged $11, 122 since January 1989 ($133 , 464
annualized) . These revenues have increased by more than twenty
percent (20%) annually during the past three years.
In order to project anticipated revenues under the new agreement, a
modest anticipated increase of 2 .5% annually was projected as the
basis for the following comparison:
ADSHELTERS SHELTER OF AMERICA
Minimum / Percentage Minimum / Percentage
Year 1 24 , 000 / 40, 039 36, 000 / 20, 019
Year 2 24, 000 / 41, 040 36, 000 / 20, 520
Year 3 24, 000 / 42 , 066 39, 000 / 21, 033
Year 4 24, 000 / 43 , 117 39, 000 / 21, 559
Year 5 24, 000 / 44 , 196 39, 000 / 22, 098
Year 6 24, 000 / 45, 300 42, 000 / 22, 650
Year 7 24 , 000 / 46, 433 42 , 000 / 23, 216
Year 8 24, 000 / 47, 594 48, 000 / 23,797
Year 9 24, 000 / 48, 784 48, 000 / 24, 392
Year 10 24, 000 / 50, 003 51, 000 / 25, 001
$240,000 $448,572 $420,000 $224,293
Projected revenues to the City under both proposals are anticipated
to be comparable with an advantage to Adshelters, Inc. over the term
of the agreement. Adshelters, Inc. utilizes Shelter Advertising of
America, Inc. as the source of supply for the shelters installed, so
no substantial difference in equipment is anticipated under either
proposal.
Under its proposal Adshelters, Inc. will pay the City thirty percent
(30%) of gross receipts derived from advertising on the shelters.
This payment schedule will provide for the City' s benefiting from any
increased rates charged to advertisers, inflation and the
construction of additional shelters over the term of the agreement.
Based on the favorable return to the City under the percentage of
gross revenues to be received, the proposal of Adshelters, Inc. is
recommended for award of the new agreement.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
The proposed agreement, for a ten (10) year term, provides for
Adshelters, Inc. to continue ownership of all shelters, to bear the
entire cost of construction of additional shelters and any utilities
expenses associated with the shelters. The City will continue to
retain a first option to purchase any or all shelters at the
termination of the agreement.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The City Administration recommends that the City Commission approve
a Resolution authorizing the Mayor and CIty Clerk to execute an
Agreement with Adshelters, Inc. , for the construction and maintenance
of bus stop shelters with advertising.
