Request For Approval To Issue A Request For Proposals ("RFP) For The Purchase And Installation Of
The New Multi-Space Stations For The City's Parking System
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
lmprove Parking Availability; lmprove process through information technology
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc: 77% of residents rated availability of Parking
across ~iami Beach as too little or much too little.
ssue:
Shall the Mayor and City Commission approve the issuance of the RFP?
tem Summary/Recommendation:
The City's Parking Department currently has 500 multi-space pay stations, in "pay and display" mode
deployed throughout the City in on-street and off-street locations. Parkeon is the manufacturer of the
current equipment (DG Classic and Strada models). These units were installed in 2004 and have served
us well; however, the DG Classic is at the end of its product line and replacement parts are increasing
difficult to attain. In fact, Parkeon no longer manufactures replacement parts or supports the DG Classic
model. This places a significant strain in maintaining these units operational as replacement parts are
only available through after market sources. Additionally, while Parkeon has provided software and
communication upgrades for their Strada model, multi-space pay station technology has significantly
advanced since 2004. There are a number of manufacturer's in the industry, including Parkeon, which
provide multi-space pay stations with enhanced functionalities, including pay and display; pay by space;
pay by cell; pay by license plate; and back of office functionalities. Therefore, it is both timely and
reasonable for the City to issue a competitive process to evaluate these systems.
The City of Miami Beach will seek proposals from qualified vendors for the purchase and installation of up
to 750 new multi-space pay stations for its on-street and off-street parking locations. The City currently
has 500+ multi-space pay stations throughout the City and is looking to replace its existing equipment as
well expand the installation of pay stations throughout Middle and North Beach. Purchase and installation
is anticipated to occur after January 1, 2012.
The City reserves the right to award and contract with up to two (2) vendors and may purchase any
number of units, including either all; none, or combination from either vendor. The City reserves the right
to increase or decrease the number of units purchased from either one or both vendors.
The City intends to provide the residents, tourists, and patrons of the City with the latest state-of-the art
technology in multi-space pay stations. We are looking for innovative parking pay stations that are fully
functional in a tropical climate with high humidity; in close proximity to the ocean and its elements; and
durable in storm conditions, including hurricanes. The multi space pay stations must also be compatible
with pay-by-phone technology. Specifications for the integration of pay-by-phone, should it be required,
must be available either through the firm or under separate agreement with a third party vendor. This
shall be selected at the City's sole and absolute discretion.

ANALYSIS
The City's Parking Department currently has 500 multi-space pay stations, in "pay and display''
mode deployed throughout the City in on-street and off-street locations. Parkeon is the manufacturer
of the current equipment (DG Classic and Strada models). These units were installed in 2004 and
have served us well; however, the DG Classic is at the end of its product line and replacement parts
are increasing difficult to attain. In fact, Parkeon no longer manufactures replacement parts or
supports the DG Classic model. This places a significant strain in maintaining these units
operational as replacement parts are only available through after market sources. Additionally, while
Parkeon has provided software and communication upgrades for their Strada model, multi-space
pay station technology has significantly advanced since 2004. There are a number of manufacturer's
in the industry, including Parkeon, which provide multi-space pay stations with enhanced
functionalities, including pay and display; pay by space; pay by cell; pay by license plate; and back of
office functionalities. Therefore, it is both timely and reasonable for the City to issue a competitive
process to evaluate these systems.
A scope of services and technical specifications has been developed for inclusion in the request for
proposals. The technical specifications are minimum requirements which are broadly based to
enhance the competitive process.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City of Miami Beach is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for the purchase and
installation of up to 750 new multi-space pay stations for its on-street and off-street parking locations
in accordance with the Request for Proposals (RFP). The City currently has 500+ multi-space pay
stations throughout the City and is looking to replace its existing equipment as well expand the
installation of pay stations throughout Middle and North Beach. Purchase and installation is
anticipated to occur after January 1, 2012.
The City reserves the right to award and contract with up to two (2) vendors and may purchase any
number of units, including either all; none, or combination from either vendor. The City reserves the
right to increase or decrease the number of units purchased from either one or both vendors.
The City intends to provide the residents, tourists, and patrons of the City with the latest state-of-the
art technology in multi-space pay stations. We are looking for innovative parking pay stations that
are fully functional in a tropical climate with high humidity; in close proximity to the ocean and its
elements; and durable in storm conditions, including hurricanes.
The multi space pay stations must also be compatible with pay-by-phone technology. Specifications
for the integration of pay-by-phone, should it be required, must be available either through the firm or
under separate agreement with a third party vendor. This shall be selected at the City's sole and
absolute discretion.
PHASED DEPLOYMENT OF REPLACEMENT AND NEW UNITS
Currently, there are 500 multi-space pay stations deployed throughout the City. Of these 500 units,
250 are the DG Classic model and the balance is the Strada model. The deployment of
replacement units would be phased commencing with all DG Classic units (Phase I) since this
model is no longer in production and its replacement parts are no longer available. Phase I is
estimated to be completed within six months, contingent upon varying factors including production
runs by the manufacturer. Phase 11 (250 units) would replace the balance of the units in service
(Strada model) and would be completed within four to six months. Lastly, Phase Ill, approximately
200 units, would be new installations which will replace the balance of the single space parking
meters throughout the City. Phase Ill is estimated to be completed within four months. The timeline
for completion of all three phases is estimated to be sixteen (16) months. Upon completion of
Phase Ill, it is estimated that 90% of the metered spaces throughout the City will be operated via
multi-space pay stations. There will be a contingency of 50 units in inventory to serve as temporary
replacement units due to prescribed maintenancelupgrades andlor malfunctions of in-service units.
EQUIPMENT WARRANTYIEXTENDED MAINTENANCE

$135,910.08Near Parks and Recreation Fund Account No. 01 1-0970-000323
The Parks and Recreation Department annual budget is $138,000; by awarding the
contract to the lowest total bid, the City realizes annual cost savings of $2,089.92 per
year.
BACKGROUND
The Parks & Recreation Department's Golf Courses Division currently has a lease for
Toro turf maintenance equipment distributed by Hector Turf, and financed through
Siemens Financial Services, which provides the majority of the turf grooming equipment
used to maintain the Miami Beach Golf Club. That lease expired on January 10, 201 1.
At the January 19, 201 1, Commission meeting the Administration submitted a resolution
seeking authorization to extend the lease, on a month-to-month basis until such time as
the ITB was issued. It was noted that the issuance of the ITB for the golf course
equipment was being temporarily delayed in order to permit the Administration to fully

examine a potential corporate sponsorship opportunity that could augment the required
equipment list, obtain the equipment at a reduced price and/or provide the City revenue
as a result of an agreed upon sponsorship package.
To this end the Administration had discussions with various potential corporate partners
for the provision of golf course turf maintenance equipment, as well as other multi-task
maintenance equipment that could be utilized throughout the city. These potential
partners included Cub-Cadet, John Deere and Toro. Although substantive discussions
were held, and there may be opportunities for partnerships in the future, none of the
corporations were able to commit to a workable sponsorship at this time. It should be
noted however, that components of the John Deere leasing package which will result in
a substantial savings to the City, can be attributed in part to the relationship built with
the John Deere team during our corporate sponsorship discussions.
ANALYSIS
The purpose of this ITB is to establish a 48-month Lease Agreement, by means of
sealed bids, to a qualified bidder for the lease of all new Golf Course Turf Maintenance
Equipment for the Miami Beach Golf Club.
The Bidder's lease price includes a minimum 900-hour use time per equipment, per
year. The Vendor is responsible for anylall pickup, delivery, and transportation charges
should an equipment replacement and/or maintenance that must be provided at a
location other than the City's designated facility, including all equipment pickup
transportation at the end of the 48-month lease or after any extended lease use period.
Any equipment(s) which must be removed from the City's designated facilitylpremises
for service, in excess of twenty-four (24) hours, will be replaced with another similar unit
within forty eight (48) hours at no additional cost to the City. PreventiveIRoutine
Maintenance such as cleaning, greasing and lubrication, and oil change maintenance,
will be performed by the City. See below a list of the equipment included in the lease:

ITB-38-10-11 Lease of Golf Course Turf
Page 5 of 5
John Deere has agreed to include rust-preventing under coating at no additional
cost on the Turf Utility Vehicles. This is very important due to the fact the golf
course frequently uses salt water from the lakes for irrigation.
John Deere is providing the new 2500E-Series, Hybrid Riding Mowers, which
offers fuel economy, reduces the noise of mower operations and a significant
reduction in the chance for hydraulics leaks that can damage the putting greens.
John Deere has reduced the residual buy back option from 20% of the original
lease value proposed during sponsorship discussions, down to 17.5% on all or
any individual item.
CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis of the bids received, the Administration recommends that the City
award a contract to ShowTurf, LLC., pursuant to ITB 38-10-1 1 For Lease of Golf Course
Turf Maintenance Equipment For the Miami Beach Golf Club.

Referral to the Land Use Committee - Discussion
Regarding a resolution approving an amendment to the Concept Plan for the
property owned by 730 1'' Street Associates, LLC in Block 52 in South Pointe.
INTRODUCTION
At the June 28, 201 1 meeting of the Planning Board, 730 1'' St Associates, LLC requested
Conditional Use approval to construct a new 7-story mixed use building, with commercial
space on the ground level, robotic parking on 3 levels above ground, with a proposed %level
single family residential unit above parking. The project as proposed is greater than 50,000
square feet.
The subject site consists of approximately 24,000 square feet of land, which includes a
vacant parcel (Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11) and an existing warehouse building on Lots 4, 5, 6, and
a portion of Lot 7, which is currently housing a restaurant that is being renovated. The
vacant parcel (Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11) is part of the "Concept Plan" included in the Alaska
Parcel Settlement Agreement previously approved by the City Commission.
The proposed project seems to be in conflict with the Concept Plan for those parcels, which
specifies "I-story residential (pool deck above), 6-story residential tower (parking below)"
and "pool deck (parking below" on the pedestal. As part of the Planning Board action at its
June 28, 201 1 meeting, a Conditional Use Permit was issued with conditions, one of which
is that the project shall be contingent upon meeting the requirements of the "Concept Plan."
RECOMMENDATION
Review the proposed project and recommend to the City Commission amending the
"Conce~t Plan."

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: September 14, 201 1 ~
SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE A
DISCUSSION PERTAINING TO THE CATERING AND CONCESSIONS SERVICES
AGREEMENT FOR THE MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Refer the matter to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for discussion.
ANALYSIS
On April 11, 2006, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of Request for
Proposals (RFP) No. 22-05/06, to Provide Professional Food and Beverage Facilities
Management Services for the Miami Beach Convention Center; with an option to manage food
and beverage services at other city cultural facilities to include: I) the Jackie Gleason Theater
of the Performing Arts; 2) the Colony Theater; and 3) the Byron Carlyle Theater. This RFP was
issued in advance of Centerplate's expiring contract on February 28, 2007. Centerplate, doing
business originally as Volume Services America, Inc., held the exclusive food and beverage
services contract at the Miami Beach Convention Center since December 17, 1986. The original
contract had an initial term of fifteen years, and the City Commission exercised a five (5) year
renewal term on May 16, 2001 via Resolution No. 2001-24393.
During the initial 20 years of the agreement, the Convention Center's food and beverage
concessionaire was restricted from hosting local catering events such as banquets, weddings,
and galas, when those events did not book an exhibit hall and were not conventions, trade,
public or consumer shows. Prior to the issuance of the RFP, the social catering restriction was
reviewed by several City committees and organizations and a recommendation was made to
remove the prohibiton. The City Commission subsequently endorsed the removal of the social
catering prohibition; the ensuing RFP allowed for the successful proposer to host local catering
events at the Miami Beach Convention Center, and specific attention was given to this area.
The RFP Evaluation Committee and the City Administration recommended Centerplate as the
top-ranked firm. This recommendation was made in large part due to Centerplate's proposed
partnership with Barton G. At the time, Centerplate had formed an exclusive relationship with
Barton G., a Miami-based event planning and production company with a strong base of social,
corporate and philanthropic clients. On September 6, 2006, the City Commission adopted
Resolution No. 2006-26316 authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to execute an agreement upon
completion of successful negotiations by the Adminsitration.
As stated previously, Centerplate's Agreement expired on February 28, 2007. The City and

Centerplate didn't conclude negotiations until December 13, 2007, which is when the final
agreement was executed. Much of the delay in agreeing to terms centered around the
partnership with Barton G and operational issues involved with booking social catering
business. The terms of the Agreement were retroactive to March 1, 2007 and expires on
September 30, 2012. The Agreement also includes two (2) successive, five (5) year renewal
options at the City's discretion.
The Agreement includes the following:
Guaranteed Minimum Annual Rent of $1,250,000, representing 25.5% of gross revenue
up to $4 million. Above $4 million, the commission increases in tiers up to 33%.
Capital Investment: Centerplate invested $800,000 towards food and beverage capital
projects to enhance the foodservice facilities at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Centerplate also allocates 1.5% of Gross Receipts towards a Capital Reserve Fund.
Marketing Reserve Fund: Centerplate allocates the greater of an annual contribution of
$20,000 or 1.5% of Catering Gross Receipts to a Marketing Reserve Fund to promote
the food and beverage offerings (catering, concessions, etc.). In addition, Centerplate
also pre-funded $50,000 towards the Marketing Reserve Fund.
Scholarship Fund: Centerplate contributes $20,000 annually toward the City's tourism
and hospitality scholarship program.
Some early social catering business was booked at the Convention Center in partnership with
Barton G. However, due to issues with the relationship between Centerplate and Barton GI on
May 15, 2008, the City was officially notified the partnership would not continue. Section 10.17
of the Agreement between the City and Centerplate stipulates that any replacement for Barton
G is subject to the prior written approval of the City Manager. Centerplate immediately began
searching for a new social catering partner and on August 28, 2008 Centerplate proposed
Touch Catering. After reviewing the material and Touch Catering's history and track record, the
City approved the replacement of Barton G with Touch Catering on December 19, 2008.
Centerplate hired a dedicated social catering salesperson to focus on booking more of this
business. They have been successful in booking numerous social catering events at the
Convention Center and continue to focus heavily in this area. Centerplate, in partnership with
Touch Catering, also completed a new Kosher kitchen and has booked several Kosher events.
Although Centerplate's client survey scores continue to be among the lowest scores given by
Convention Center users (meeting planners, etc.), specifically in food quality and food
presentation of the concession operation, they have improved their scores in each of the past
three (3) years (see attached).
Centerplate informed the City on March 4, 201 1, that they had replaced their General Manager
with an Interim General Manager, Nick Tierno. Mr. Tierno has since revised Exhibitor Booth
Catering Menus, adjusted pricing and made operational changes.
Convention Center Advisory Board
As previously stated, Centerplate's agreement with the City expires on September 30, 2012. As
such, the Convention Center Advisory Board (CCAB), at their June 7, 201 1 meeting, discussed
FCWPC Referral - Convention Center Catering and Concessions Services Agreement
Commission Memorandum
July 13,2011
Page 3 of 3
whether or not the City should exercise the five (5) year renewal option available in the
Agreement or issue a new Request for Proposals (RFP). The CCAB reviewed Centerplate's
history and unanimously recommended that the City issue a new RFP for catering and
concession services at the Convention Center. This recommendation was based largely on
Centerplate's client survey scores and their history of being the lowest-rated area of the
Convention Center's operations.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the matter to the
Finance nd Citywide Projects Committee for discussion.

September 14, 201 1 n u U Referral to the Planning Board - An ordinance clarifying the categories
of members to be appointed to the City's land use boards.
INTRODUCTION
At the July 20, 201 1 meeting, the Land Use and Development Committee discussed the
issue related to the membership requirements of the Planning Board, Design Review Board,
Historic Preservation Board and the Board of Adjustment. At this time, the committee gave
the Administration direction on several refinements to the ordinance, specifically, to explore
more flexibility on the licensing requirements for some of the categories.
The proposed ordinance introduces a secondary category for attorneys that are licensed in
other states. This would still keep in place the requirement that any Board that has an
attorney be licensed in the State of Florida, but creates a second attorney position with
broader licensing requirements.
Commissioner Gongora expressed the desire to open up the categories to provide more
flexibility, broadening the architect position to permit licensure in any state.
RECOMMENDATION
Refer the proposed ordinance to the Planning Board for its review and recommendation as
amended by the Committee.
