RECOMMENDATION
The Adminisiration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission authonze the
Administration to prepare a Lease Amendment and cortesponding General Obligation Bond for
Arts & CWNre ("GOBAC') Grant Agreement with Miami New Drama, Inc. for the Collins Park
Cultural Faciliry, based on the material tertns wtlined in the attached Term Sheet, with all fnal
agreemenls subject to the approval of the Ciry Commission.
BACKGROUNDIHISTORY
Leasa Approval
• January 27. 2021: The Mayor and City Commission waived competitive bidding to accept
an unsolicitetl proposal submittetl by Miami New Drema, Inc. (MiND) for approximately
76,000 square feet of ground floor space, induding interior space and exterior tevace
areas, in the city-owned Collins Park Garage at 340 23rd Street. The proposal outlined
the development of MiND's pnmary peAormance venue and headquarters, including a
200-seat black box theater, rehearsal space, dressing rooms, and administrative offices,
as well as ancillary commercial uses, including a standalone restauranVcafe (the
"Project").
• Ocfober 27. 2027: Resolution No. 2021-31914 approved the initial Lease Agreement
belween the Ciry (Landlord) and MiND (Tenant), whereby MiND commiried lo
independenlly funding its design and architectural services, while the City provided
239
funding and wnstruction for buildout improvements, continqeM on a $250,000 Tenant
Contribution and appropriation of a $4.75 million Landlord Contnbution.
• Aoril 18 2022: The Lease Agreement was executed.
Revised Fundinn Allocation
• November 2022: Miami Beach voters approve the GOBAC Program, which included a
revised allocation of$7.67 million to the Projecl, following revision of Project buildout cost
estimates.
. Julv 26 2023: Resolution No. 2023-32713 formally allocated $7.67 million, satisying the
City's funding commitment under lhe Lease.
Lease Modification Reauest
. Auoust 6 2024: MiND submitted a request to the City Manager for material modifcations
to the delivery model, including transferring full responsibilities for construction
management and project execution to the Tenant, as well as increasing lhe Landlord
Contribution irom $475 million to $7.604 million, aligning with the GOBAC allocation.
. Sentember 11. 2024�. the Administration recommended the Mayor and City Commission,
refer the Project to the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC) for further
discussion.
. November B. 2024:the FERC transmitted a favorable recommendation of proposed Lease
modifications, including conversion of the ProjecPs funding allocation into a GOBAC
Program grant.
• November 20 2024: In parallel with ongoing discussions on proposed Lease
modifications, ResoWtion No. 202433398 approved the installation of a temporary artistic
window covering. This installation, funded by the City, not only highlights MiND's
pertormances but also enhances the exterior aesthetics of the vacant leased premises.
ANALYSIS
The following sedions outline the risks, key operational safequards, and Ciry oversight
mechanisms relevant to the proposed Lease Amendment.
Proarammatic and Cultural Value
The Pmject is emisioned as a comerstone activation of the Collins Park Cultural Dis[rict.
Anchored by MiND's aNs programming, the facility is expectetl to drive yearvround public
engagement[hmugh theatrical performances, educational initialives, and community events.
Under the executed Lease, lhe GOBAC allocation was intended to fund capital improvements
related to lhe buildout of the Collins Park Cultural Facility, with the City retaining full control and
oversight over Project execution.
While MiND has demonsfrated success managing the programming of the Colony Theatre,
development of a new cultural facility introduces different levels of operational and fnancial
complexity. Therefore, any approval of the proposed Lease Amendment and associa[ed Grant
Agreement should be contingent upon fnancial safeguards, measurable peAormance
benchmarks, and continued City oversight.
24�
Shift in Proiect Delivery Model
MiND's request represents a signifcant shift from a city-managed construction model to one led
by the TenanL While Ihis may ease administra[ive burden and potentially expedite delivery, it
inVotluces risks commonly associated with ihird-party construction managemen[, such as
reduced City oversight on butlgeting, constmction qualiry, and project scheduling.
Although the G.O. Bond for Arts and Culture Program includes limited-scope grants, for example,
funtling theater equipment or digital upgrades, those grants do not compare in scale or
complexity, and there is currently no precedent within lhe program for delegating full construction
management responsibilities for a City-owned facility to a third-party grantee.
Accordingly,the proposed Lease Amendment and Grant Agreement would establish a precedent
for capital delivery in publidy owned facilities and should be carefulty evaluated (or long-term
implications.
Pr000sed Citv Safeauards
To mitigate risks associated with the tenant-led consVuction management model, the
Administration and MiND jointly developed cntical safeguards to preserve the Ciry's financial antl
operational interests:
• eaecution of a Grant Agreement that incorporates pmvisions typically(ound in
construction agreements, including reimbursement protowis, documentation slanCards,
and peAormance expectations;
. inclusion of a cross-defaWt clause linking the Lease and Grant Agreement to strengthen
entorcement mechanisms�,
. retention o(City oversight rights with approvals at major design milestones (30%, 60%,
90%, and final construclion drawings);
. required approval o!draw requests by the Ciry liaison, with accompanying backup
documentation; and
. mandating that MiND employ a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) under a
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contrect, including cost containment and approval
provisions.
OutsWnding Considerations
1. Proiect Delivery Risk
The Administration recommends that any deviation from a City-managed delivery model undergo
a thorough evaluation of ihe TenanCs capacity to manage scope, cost, and quality assurance.
Although MiND has demonstreted a strong record in cultural programming, it has limited
expenence in overseeing large-scale, municipal capital improvement prqects.
2. AiPP Waiver Reouest
MiND must request a waiver from the Ciry's Art in Public Places (AiPP)contribution requirement.
The G.O. Bond is subject to public bond covenan[s; accordingly, the waiver may be in the Ciry's
best interest to ensure full allocation of available resources to core Pmject elemenls.
Term Sheet
The Administration and MiND have developed a Term Sheet for a proposed Amendment to Ihe
Lease Agreement (Attachment A), which incorporates several key terms ro protect the Ciry's
financial and operational interesls.
