SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE -A
DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ISSUANCE OF A REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF STREET
MARKETS IN MIAMI BEACH AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Refer the matter to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for discussion.
BACKGROUND
On September 6, 2006, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2006-26281,
awarding, pursuant to RFP 30-05/06, the operation and management of the Green Markets on
Lincoln Road, Espanola Way and Normandy Village to the Market Company and the operation
and management for the Antique and Collectibles Market on Lincoln Road to Production Sud,
Inc. The City entered into four separate agreements governing each of the markets, each
commencing on October 1, 2006 and terminating on September 9, 2009. The Agreements
provided for an extension of the respective terms for an additional three (3) years, which was
approved by the City on July 15
\ 2009. It should be noted that shortly after the renewal option
was approved, the Espanola Way Market was closed due to lack of interest by the vendors.
With no additional renewal options remaining and the current terms set to expire on September
30, 2012, the Administration seeks input on whether to initiate a new competitive bid process to
solicit interest in managing and operating street markets in multiple locations on Miami Beach.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the matter to the
Fin~d Citywide Projects Committee for discussion and further direction.
