Item Summary/Recommendation :
The Mayor's Blue Ribbon Panel on North Beach Revitalization (the "Panel") has begun to identify a number
of items that could immediately help in the revitalization efforts. One such recommendation from the Panel is
a series of events, festivals, fairs and other activity to provide year around programming for the community
and attract visitors to North Beach. To that end, the Panel recommended obtaining a canopy or other
structure able to cover the audience area of the Band Shell. lt is believed that such a cover will protect
attendees at events and will encourage use of the facilities as the effects of weather can be mitigated using a
canopy. Funding was identified and included as part of a Capital Budget amendment early this year.
By means of RFP 2014-290-YG, the City of Miami Beach sought proposals from qualified firms to design,
manufacture and install a custom canopy at the North Beach Band Shell facility (the "Facility''). The area of
coverage for the canopy is approximately 9,700 square feet. The scope of the project consists of the
following: . Design and shop drawings
. Obtaining all necessary permits
. Seek approval of shop drawings from the City
. Manufacture canopy
. lnstall Canopy
. Warranty and maintain for a period of not less than five (5) years.
The RFP was issued on July 29, 20'14, with an opening date of September 16,2014. A pre-bid conference to
provide information to the proposers was held on August 8,2014. Only one (1) proposalwas received in
response to the RFP from Paradise Awnings Corporation. However, the proposed cost significantly
exceeded the budget for this project.
Therefore, the City Manager recommends the rejection of the proposal received pursuant to the RFP. The
Administration will be conducting an industry review meeting to review the specifications and scope of this
project in an effort to increase the number of proposals in a forthcoming RFP. After the industry review
meeting, the Administration will prepare and issue a new RFP, which will be submitted to the City
Commission via a Letter to Commission ("LTC").
