C2H-Issue RFP Street Markets On Lincoln Rd Normandy Village Collins Park etcCOMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY Condensed Title: Request To Approval To Issue a Request For Proposals For The Management And Operation Of Street Markets On Lincoln Road, Normandy Village, Collins Park And Other Locations. Key Intended Outcome Supported: Increase satisfaction with Family Recreational Activities Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): Recreational activities received excellent or good ratings from 85% of residents interviewed in the 2012 Resident Satisfaction Survey. Item Summa /Recommendation: On September 6, 2006, pursuant Resolution No. 2006-26281, the City entered into three (3) separate management and operating agreements with The Market Company, Inc., for the operation of the Green Markets on Lincoln Road, Espanola Way and Normandy Isle. A separate management and operating agreement was provided to Production Sud, Inc. for operation of the Antique and Collectibles Market on Lincoln Road. All agreements commenced on October 1, 2006 and terminated on September 9, 2009. On July 1, 2009, the City approved the sole renewal options in the respective Agreements, extending the terms for an additional three (3) years, which expired on September 30, 2012, with no renewal options remaining. The Espanola Way market has since closed due to lack of interest by the vendors. On May 17, 2012, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee ("FCWPC") recommended issuing the RFP with a broader scope, including locations other than where the markets are today. In addition, they recommended extending the Management Agreements with The Market Company and Production Sud, inc., on a month-to-month basis. On September 12, 2012, pursuant to the recommendation of the FCWPC, the City Commission adopted a resolution extending the management agreements with The Market Company and Production Sud on a month-to-month basis, for a period not to exceed eight (8) months, commencing on October 1, 2012 and ending May 31, 2013, and further authorizing the Administration to initiate a new Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Staff needed additional time to complete the new RFP process, so on May 8, 2013, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2013-28212, extending the management agreements in effect, from June 1, 2013 until such time as a new contract for the street market(s) was executed. The RFP is attached to the package. Conclusion and Recommendation: The Markets continue to be a draw on weekends for local area residents and visitors and the possibility of expanding the Street Markets to other Areas, as well as increasing the hours of operation to include weekdays may enhance their impact on the community. Ma 17,2012 Financial Information: Source of Funds: Amount Account Approved I Total OBPI Financial Impact Summary: N/A er AGENDA CJ./f 1-17-15 59 MIAMI BEACH City of Miami Beach, 1700 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach, Florida 33139, www.miamibeachfl.gov COMMISSION MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and M FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager DATE: July17,2013 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO SUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF STREET MARKETS ON LINCOLN ROAD, NORMANDY VILLAGE, COLLINS PARK AND OTHER LOCATIONS. 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 Isle to the Market Company and the operation and management for the Antique and Collectibles Market on Lincoln Road to Production Sud, Inc. (collectively "Street Markets"). The permitted uses for each Street Market are as follows: Lincoln Road Green Market: includes fruits, vegetables, juices, nuts and other related products; plants and cut flowers; Espanola Way Street Market: included arts and crafts; cut flowers and plants; fruits, juices, nuts, and other related products; Normandy Village Street Market: includes arts and crafts; fruits, vegetables, cut flowers, orchids and other related green market products; tropical fruit preserves, dressings, dried fruits and nuts, honey and organic produce; Antiques and Collectibles Market: includes antiques; vintage goods; and collectibles. The City entered into four separate Management and Operating Agreements governing each of the Street Markets, each commencing on October 1, 2006 and terminating on September 9, 2009, (collectively, "Management Agreements"). The Management Agreements provided for an extension of the respective terms for an additional three (3) years, which was approved by the City on July 1st, 2009. It should be noted that shortly after the renewal options were approved, the Espanola Way Street Market was closed due to lack of interest by the vendors. The renewal terms were due to expire on September 30, 2012; therefore, staff referred the discussion, regarding the issuance of a new Request for Proposals ("RFP") for the management and operation of the Street Markets, to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee ("FCWPC"). On May 17, 2012, the FCWPC recommended issuing the RFP with a broader scope, including locations other than where the markets are today. In addition, the FCWPC recommended that the current agreement(s) be allowed to continue on a month-to-month basis, until the process was completed. In addition, staff was directed to review and research the per day charge for electrical service. On September 12, 2012, pursuant to the recommendation of the FCWPC, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2012-27997, extending the Management Agreements in effect, on a month- to-month basis, for a period ending May 31, 2013. The Resolution further authorized the Administration to begin working on a new RFP process to solicit interest in managing and operating street markets on Miami Beach in one or more of the four locations identified above, as well as to explore expanding the scope to include other areas of the City, provided the identified locations 60 Resolution authorizing the Issuance of a RFP for the Management and Operation of Street Markets in Miami Beach July 17, 2013 Page 2 of4 have the support of the respective neighborhood and/or neighborhood association, do not interfere with traffic circulation and parking and don't pose any life-safety and/other code-related problems. Staff required additional time to complete the RFP process and on May 8, 2013, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2013-28212, extending the Management Agreements in effect, from June 1, 2013 until such time as a new contract for the Street Market(s) was executed. In connection with the preparation of the RFP, Staff held an industry-review meeting on June 17, 2013. Operators and vendors of Street Markets from the tri-county area were notified of the meeting and several attended. Many of their suggestions were incorporated in the scope for the RFP being presented to the City Commission herein, including providing the option of a weekday Street Market, more flexible hours of operation and a preference for locally grown produce in support of the farm to table concept. ANALYSIS Since October 1, 2006, The Market Company has been operating its Green (Farmers) Markets on Lincoln Road, Normandy Isle and until August, 2009, on Espanola Way. As noted above, The Market Company's markets are generally engaged in the sale of cut flowers and plants, fruits, vegetables and other edible products, including fresh fruits, dried fruits, vegetables, nuts, preserves, pickled items, jams, jellies, juices, smoothies and other non-alcoholic beverages. The "Green Market" concept was specifically adopted for Lincoln Road so as not to compete with merchants in the area. During the same period, Production Sud, Inc. has operated its Antiques and Collectibles Market on Lincoln Road, engaging in the sale of antiques, vintage goods and collectibles, including but not limited to, jewelry, bric-a-brac, reproductions, memorabilia, art, and creative uses of recycled components. For allowing the Markets to operate in their respective locations, the City receives rent equivalent to the greater of a fixed percentage of concessionaire's gross receipts (PG) or an established minimum guarantee (MG) as follows: In order to cover the costs associated with facilitating Street Markets for the general public, the City will need to charge Concessionaires the following additional fees: $40.00 per day to contribute toward the costs associated with field monitoring the event, on an as needed basis; $100.00 per quarter to contribute toward the cost of pressure cleaning the sites of the Street Markets; and $5.00 per market day for each vendor requiring electrical service. A summary of the current terms for each of the Markets is included as "Exhibit A"to this report. Lincoln Road Green Market The Lincoln Road Green Market is currently held every Sunday on the Lincoln Road Mall from Washington Avenue to Meridian Avenue with an average of 20 vendors; operating between the hours of 9:00a.m. until 6:30p.m. As noted in the table above, the Lincoln Road Green Market has consistently exceeded its annual MG remittal to the City and continues to be a viable event for both the Concessionaire and the City. It should be noted however, that due to the significant increase in the number of sidewalk cafe permits issued on Lincoln Road since the inception of the Markets, there has been, on occasion, friction between the restaurants and the Markets over the displacement of some of their vendors. 61 Resolution authorizing the Issuance of a RFP for the Management and Operation of Street Markets in Miami Beach July 17, 2013 Page 3 of4 Normandy Village (Isle) Market The Normandy Market operates every Saturday on Rue Vendome with an average of 13 vendors. The street is closed to traffic during the Market's operation. The Market Company continues to manage and operate this market as it has over the past few years with little change in vendors or emphasis. Although not a high profit return to the City, this market is primarily frequented by the surrounding community. Antiques & Collectibles Market The Antiques & Collectibles Market, operated by Production Sud, Inc., is held on Sunday with operating hours of 9:00a.m. until 6:00 p.m, twice a month from October through May. The Market currently operates on Lincoln Road between Meridian Avenue and Michigan Avenue; Michigan Avenue between South Lincoln Lane and North Lincoln Lane; and the west side of Jefferson Avenue, between South Lincoln Lane and North Lincoln Lane, with an average of 128 vendors ( +/-). It should be noted that due to the renovations and modifications to the 1100 block of Lincoln Road that were completed in November, 2009, the Antiques and Collectibles Market was not permitted to return to the block, resulting in the loss of approximately 30 vendor locations. To compensate for the reduction in space, the Antiques & Collectibles Market was allowed to expand from two rows to three rows of tents on Michigan Avenue. Even so, the Market was reduced from approximately 130 spaces to 110 spaces, resulting in a loss of revenues and requiring staff to explore various options to add the spaces back without conflicting with the Lincoln Road Green Market and without creating circulatory, parking and/or life-safety issues. In August, 2011, Staff was able to secure the west side of Jefferson Avenue between South Lincoln Lane and North Lincoln Lane, which was able to accommodate an additional 18 vendors. This new location has since made up for the concessionaire's loss of the 1100 block. Collins Park Market On October 14, 2009, pursuant to a request from the Collins Park Neighborhood Association (CPNA), the City Commission approved a temporary Management and Operating Agreement with the Market Company to operate a farmer's market adjacent to Collins Park on a trial basis for a period of one (1) year, commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2010. The Market was located on 22nd Street between Collins Avenue and Liberty Avenue, which was not the location of choice for the CPNA or the Concessionaire, who would have preferred a location in the Park itself. It should be noted that an exhaustive amount of time was spent at a staff and Committee level in identifying and agreeing to the approved location for the Market. The Park and the Central Boulevard located on the east side of Collins Avenue were firmly ruled out due to a variety of concerns involving accessibility/ADA issues, maintenance-related impacts, Historic Preservation issues, and parking and circulatory impediments. Staff also looked at Park Avenue and Liberty Avenue as potential locations, but ruled them out on account of their lack of visibility from public areas, which in effect would hide the market instead of activating the Park. The 22nd Street location was deemed the most viable on account of its high degree of visibility adjacent to the Park, the minimum impact to traffic circulation and the minimal loss of parking spaces during market days. The Collins Park Market started operations on January 3, 2010, and was scheduled to run every Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, the construction of Collins Park and surrounding streetscape areas (including 22nd Street), had not been completed and was running behind schedule. Also, abnormally cold and windy conditions prevailed in the area for most of the first two months of operation, discouraging both pedestrian traffic as well as vendors from attending. Furthermore, an inadequate power supply to provide electricity for some of the vendors resulted in frequent electrical outages due to overloading of the circuits. For these reasons, the Market 62 Resolution authorizing the Issuance of a RFP for the Management and Operation of Street Markets in Miami Beach July 17, 2013 Page 4 of4 Company elected to terminate its Agreement with the City on March 31, 2010. It should be noted however, that despite the Market Company's experience with this location, it is still determined to be the most viable and functional for the Collins Park neighborhood, particularly since it is no longer subject to the mostly construction-related interruptions it was affected by before. Furthermore, on account of the few restaurants in the area, no sidewalk cafes and no local grocery store, a new market in this location could potentially be expanded to allow for a broader spectrum of products to be sold, including, but not limited to, prepared foods, arts and crafts, and the inclusion of live entertainment. Also, while the electrical supply along this section of 22nd Street is still limited to Christmas tree lighting outlets located atop the light poles along the north sidewalk, staff would recommend allowing the use of quiet (whisper) generators by those vendors needing to operate electrical equipment, such as blenders and toaster ovens. The agreements governing the Green Markets currently preclude the use of generators so as to mitigate any chance of noise disturbances as well as to minimize opportunities for vendors to engage in the production and sale of certain prohibited items such as prepared foods. While this provision may still apply to future market agreements involving Lincoln Road and Normandy Isle, an exception should be considered for Collins Park. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The original intent of bringing the Markets to Miami Beach was to establish an ancillary activity to attract new business for the merchants in the areas in which they are located, particularly during the summer and off-season months. However, since the number of vendors participating in the Green Markets is significantly reduced during the summer and off-season and the Antiques and Collectibles Market only operates from October through May, the Markets have not been a significant source of new business for area merchants. On the other hand, they continue to be a popular draw on weekends for local area residents and visitors and for which reason staff recommends considering a new Request for Proposals (RFP) process to solicit interest in managing and operating street markets on Miami Beach in one or more of the four locations identified above, as well as other areas throughout the City, provided the locations involved have the support of the respective neighborhood and/or neighborhood association, do not interfere with traffic circulation and parking and don't pose any life-safety and/other code-related problems. It should be noted that staff has also explored the concept of rotating markets throughout the City, but has determined they are not financially viable due to the inconsistency and the increased need for marketing. Staff recommends the authorization to proceed with the Request for Proposals, based upon the Scope attached, which includes the Street Markets currently in place, as well as the possible expansion of the Street Markets to Collins Park and other locations throughout the City, which may be pr osed by a qualified Operator.

As noted above, The Markel Company's markets are generally engaged in the sale of cut flowers and plants, fruits, vegetables and other edible products, including fresh fruits, dried fruits, vegetables, nuts, preserves, pickled items, jams, jellies, juices, smoothies and other non-alcoholic beverages. The "Green Market" concept was specifically adopted for Lincoln Road so as not to compete with merchants in !he area. During the same period, Production Sud, Inc. has operated its Antiques and Collectibles Market on Lincoln Road, engaging in the sale of antiques, vintage goods and collectibles, including but not limited to, jewelry, bric-a-brac, reproductions, memorabilia, art, and creative uses of recycled components. For allowing the Markets to operate in their respective locations, the City receives rent equivalent to the greater of a fixed percentage of concessionaire's gross receipts (PG) or an established minimum guarantee (MG) as follows: In order to cover the costs associated with facilitating Street Markets for the general public, the City will need to charge Concessionaires the following additional fees: $40.00 per day to contribute toward the costs associated with field monitoring the event, on an as needed basis; $100.00 per quarter to contribute toward the cost of pressure cleaning the sites of the Street Markets; and $5.00 per market day for each vendor requiring electrical service. A summary of the current terms for each of the Markets is included as "Appendix F'. Lincoln Road Green Market The Lincoln Road Green Market is currently held every Sunday on the Lincoln Road Mall from Washington Avenue to Meridian Avenue with an average of 20 vendors; operating between the hours of 9:00a.m. until 6:30p.m. As noted in the table above, the Lincoln Road Green Markel has consistently exceeded its annual MG remittal to the City and continues to be a viable event for both the Concessionaire and !he City. It should be noted however, that due to the significant increase in the number of sidewalk cafe permits issued on Lincoln Road since the inception of the Markets, there has been, on occasion, friction between the restaurants and the Markets over the displacement of some of their vendors. Normandy Village (Isle) Market The Normandy Market operates every Saturday on Rue Vendome with an average of 13 vendors. The street is closed to traffic during the Market's operation. The Market Company continues to manage and operate this market as it has over the past few years with little change in vendors or emphasis. Although not a high profit return to the City, this market is primarily frequented by the surrounding community. Antiques & Collectibles Market The Antiques & Collectibles Market, operated by Production Sud, Inc., is held on Sunday with operating hours of 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m, twice a month from October through May. The Market currently operates on Lincoln Road between Meridian Avenue and Michigan Avenue; Michigan Avenue between South Lincoln Lane and North Lincoln Lane; and the west side of Jefferson Avenue, between South Lincoln Lane and North Lincoln Lane, with an average of 128 vendors(+/-). It should be noted that due to the renovations and modifications to the 1100 block of Lincoln Road that were completed in November, 2009, the Antiques and Collectibles Market was not permitted to return to the block, resulting in the loss of approximately 30 vendor locations. To compensate for the reduction in space, the Antiques & Collectibles Market was allowed to expand from two rows to three rows of tents on Michigan Avenue. Even so, the Market was reduced from approximately 130 spaces to 110 spaces, resulting in a loss of revenues and requiring staff to explore various options to add the spaces back without conflicting with the Lincoln Road Green Market and without creating circulatory, parking and/or life-safety issues. In August, 2011, Staff was able to secure the west side of Jefferson Avenue between South Lincoln Lane and North Lincoln Lane, which was able to accommodate an additional 18 vendors. This new location has since made up for the concessionaire's loss of the 1100 block. Collins Park Markel On October 14, 2009, pursuant to a request from the Collins Park Neighborhood Association (CPNA), the City Commission approved a temporary Management and Operating Agreement with the Market Company to operate a farmer's market adjacent to Collins Park on a trial basis for a period of one (1) year, commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2010. The Market was located on 22nd Street between Collins Avenue and Liberty Avenue, which was not the location of choice for the CPNA or the Concessionaire, who would have preferred a location in the Park itself. It should be noted that an exhaustive amount of lime was spent at a staff and Commillee level in 7 RFP 317-2013, Street Markets 72 /v\llv\!\1 BEACH identifying and agreeing to the approved location for the Market. The Park and the Central Boulevard located on the east side of Collins Avenue were firmly ruled out due to a variety of concerns involving accessibility/ADA issues, maintenance-related impacts, Historic Preservation issues, and parking and circulatory impediments. Staff also looked at Park Avenue and Liberty Avenue as potential locations, but ruled them out on account of their lack of visibility from public areas, which in effect would hide the market instead of activating the Park. The 22nd Street location was deemed the most viable on account of its high of visibility adjacent to the Park, the minimum impact to traffic circulation and the minimal loss of parking spaces during market days. The Collins Park Market started operations on January 3, 2010, and was scheduled to run every Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, the construction of Collins Park and surrounding streetscape areas (including 22nd Street), had not been completed and was running behind schedule. Also, abnormally cold and windy conditions prevailed in the area for most of the first two months of operation, discouraging both pedestrian traffic as well as vendors from attending. Furthermore, an inadequate power supply to provide electricity for some of the vendors resulted in frequent electrical outages due to overloading of the circuits. For these reasons, the Market Company elected to terminate its Agreement with the City on March 31, 2010. It should be noted however, that despite the Market Company's experience with this location, it is still determined to be the most viable and functional for the Collins Park neighborhood, particularly since it is no longer subject to the mostly construction-related interruptions it was affected by before. Furthermore, on account of the few restaurants in the area, no sidewalk cafes and no local grocery store, a new market in this location could potentially be expanded to allow for a broader spectrum of products to be sold, including, but not limited to, prepared foods, arts and and the inclusion of live entertainment. Also, while the electrical supply along this section of 22nd Street is still limited to Christmas tree lighting outlets located atop the light poles along the north sidewalk, staff would recommend allowing the use of quiet (whisper) generators by those vendors needing to operate electrical equipment, such as blenders and toaster ovens. The agreements governing the Green Markets currently preclude the use of generators so as to mitigate any chance of noise disturbances as well as to minimize opportunities for vendors to engage in the production and sale of certain prohibited items such as prepared foods. While this provision may still apply to future market agreements involving Lincoln Road and Normandy Isle, an exception should be considered for Collins Park. Operate and manage an open air street market on Lincoln Road, generally located between Washington Avenue and Meridian Avenue; commonly known and referred to herein as the "Lincoln Road Green Market" (the Market), which shall provide a venue for vendors to sell and/or provide the approved product list set forth in the attached Exhibit "1 ", which includes products from the following categories: a) Plants and cut flowers; b) Fruits, vegetables, and other edible products and related food items; and c) Locally-grown produce, fruits and vegetables.
