TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
FINANCE AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCY COMMITTEE TO AMEND THAT
CERTAIN LEASE AGREEMENT DATED APRIL 18, 2022 BETWEEN THE CITY

CONSTRUCTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE CITY TO TENANT; AND
FURTHER, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO FINALIZE AND

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt a resolution to:
1. Accept the recommendation of the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC)
to approve Miami New Drama's (MiND) request to modify the project development
structure for the Collins Park Cultural Facility, specifically by transferring construction
responsibilities from the City to MiND.

3. Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to finalize and execute the amended Lease
Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with appropriate safeguards to protect
the City's interests.
BACKGROUND/HtSTORY
Proiect Oriqin
In January 2021, the Mayor and City Commission, via Resoluti�n No. 2021-31568, waived
competitive bidding to accept an unsolicited proposal from MiND for approximately 16,000 square
feet of ground floor space, including interior areas and an exterior terrace, at the City-owned
Collins Park Garage (340 23rd Street). The proposal envisioned transforming the space into
MiND's primary performance venue and headquarters, featuring a 200-seat black box theater,
rehearsal spaces, dressing rooms, administrative offices, and a standalone restauranUcafe (the
"ProjecY').
In October 2021, the City Commission unanimously approved the initial Lease Agreement
(Resolution No. 2021-31914), under which MiND would fund design and architectural services,
173 of 1214
while the City would finance and manage construction, contingent on a Tenant Contribution equal
to the total cost of aii design and architectural services (then estimated at $250,000) and a $4.75
million City funding commitment(the Landlord Contribution). The Lease Agreement was executed
in April 2022.
FundinQ Enhancements
In November 2022, Miami Beach voters approved the G.O. Bond for Arts and Culture (GOBAC)
Program, increasing the City's allocation for the Project to $7.67 million. This revised budget,
reflecting updated cost estimates, was formally appropriated in July 2023 via Resolution No.
2023-32713, fulfilling the City's funding commitment under the Lease.
Proposed Chanqe in Proiect Delivery
In August 2024, MiND proposed a significant change to the project delivery model, including:
• Transfer of full construction management responsibility from the City to the Tenant; and
• Increase in the City's financial contribution to $7.604 million (aligned with the GOBAC
allocation).
This proposal was referred to FERC in September 2024, and in November 2024, FERC
recommended approval of the mo�lifications, including conversion of the City funding to a GOBAC
Program grant. On June 25, 2025, the City Commission unanimously adopted r�esolution No.
2025-33710, accepting the FERC recommendation and approving the Term Sheet outlining these
changes.
ANALYSIS
The Collins Park Cultural Facility is envisioned as a flagship activation that will enhance
neighborhood cultural identity within the Collins Park Cultural District, offe:i.�g year-round
programming, educational initiatives, and community gathering spaces. The pmject has strong
support from the Collins Park Neighborhood Association. While MiND has successfully
programmed the Colony Theatre since 2016, overseeing capital construction introduces
additional levels of operational and financial complexity.
From Citv-Manaqed to Tenant-Led Construction
Under the original Lease, the City retained full control over construction. MiND's shifts this
responsibility to the Tenant, with the City delivering the premises in its existing shell condition.
Potential Benefits:
• Reduced administrative burden for the City
• Potential for expedited project comple:ion
Potential Risks:
• Reduced City oversight on budget, schedule, and construction quality
• Precedent-setting transfer of construction responsibilities for a City-owned cultural facility
to a GOBAC grantee •
Contractual Safequards
To mitigate risks and ensure accountability, the City and MiND have incorporated the following
safeguards for City protection:
• Risk Mitigation: Standard construction contract protections via the Grant Agreement,
including reimbursement protocols, documentation standards, and performance
expectations
174 of 1214
• Design Oversight: City retains approval rights for design at 30%, 60%, 90%, and final
design stages
• Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP): Required use of a Construction Manager at Risk
(CMAR) model with a GMP Agreement, with cost containment and approval provisions.
o The core principle of a GMP is a structure that shifts risk for cost overruns to the
contractor and ensures the project owner wili not pay more than the agreed-upon
maximum
• Value Engineering: 20% of the project budget identified by Tenant as discretionary for
potential cost adjustments (if necessary)
• Funding Controls: Each incremental grant disbursement requires detailed
documentation and City approval
• Cross-Default Clause: Lease and Grant Agreement are contractually linked to enforce
compliance, and Lease is contractually linked to Colony Theatre Management Agreement;
therefore, a default under one agreement triggers a default under the other
The draft Lease Amendment is attached in substantial form as Exhibit A. The proposed resolution
authorizes the Administration and the City Attorney's Office to finalize the agreement wiin MiND,
incorporating the City's safeguards. These protections will also be mirrored and reinforced in the
corresponding Grant Agreement, which is under consideration as companion item C7 C.
A summary of the essential project terms is included in Exhibit B.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Financial Overview:
• City Contribution: $7.604 million in GOBAC fiunds (already appropriated)
• Tenant Contribution: All architectural and engineering (A&E) costs, estimated at
approximately $250,000
Risk Mitigation:
• City Oversight: Final approval of key construction documents and disb�irsement
drawdowns
• Contingency Reserves: City will retain 10% of grant funds during construction, in addition
to a 5% contingency within the GMP Agreement
• Value Engineering: 20% of project budget identified as discretionary for potential cost
adjustments

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
CONCLUSION
Should the City Commission accept the FERC recommendation and consent to delegate
construction management responsibilities to Miami New Drama under the enhanced safeguards
175 of 1214
outlined above, the Administration recommends authorizing execution of the Lease Amendment,
subject to any additional direction by the City Commission. This recommended action will allow
the City to advance a transformative cultural project while maintaining strong protections for its
investment and long-term interests.

ANALYSlS
The follovring sections outtine the risks, key operationa! safeguards, and City oversight
mQci�anisms relevar�#to ffie proposed Lease Amendmant.
Pro�tammstic an�!Cultural Valu�
The Proiect is envisioned as a ccxnerstate aciivation of tt�e Gv�ins Par1c Cuttural Distrtet.
Anchared by M�NO's arts progf�rnming, ttfe faciiity �s expected to dnve year-round pubtic

Whiie MiND has demonstrated su�ss managing the programming of the C�y Theatre,

Z� 14U214
R
Shift tn Proiect D�Ihreni Mode!
MfND's request represents a signficant shift from a ciry-managed construction mod� to one led
by the Tenant. While tfiis may ease administrative burden and potentially expedite delivery, it
introduces risks cammonly associated w�cn m�ro-parry canstruction management, such as
reduced City oversight on budgeting, c;onstruction quality, a�d project schedul�ng.
Although the G.O Bond for Arts and Cufture Program includes limrted-scope grants, for example,
funding theate� equipment or digiial upgrades, those grants do not compare in scale or
complexity, and there is currently no precedent within the program for delegating full construction
management responsibilitiss for a City-owned fac�lity to a third-party grantee.
Accordingly, the proposed Lease Amendment and Grant Agreement would establish a precedent
for capital delivery in publ�cly awned fac�ht�es and should De carefully evaluated for iong-term
implicaUons.
Pr�nosad City Safaauards
To mitiyafe rasks associated w�th ihe tenant-led canstruction management model, the
Admimstration and MiND joindy developed critical safeguards to preserve the Citys financial and
operaticnal interests:
• execution of a Grant Agreement that �ncorporates provisians typ�cally found in
cc�nstruc�ion agreements, mduding reimbursement proto.;ois, dacumentation standards,
and parformance expectations;
• mdusion of a cross-defautt dause linking the l.ease and Grant Agreement to strengthen
enforr,ement mechanisms,
• reiention af City oversight nghts with appmvals at ma�or design milestones (309�a, 60%,
;A%, and final construction drawingsj;
• required approval of draw requests by the City liaison, with accompanying backup
documentation; and
• mandating that MiND employ a Construction Manage�at Risk (GMAR) under a
Guaranteed Maximum Price(GMP)cantract. inciuding cost containment and approvai
p�ovisions.
Outstanding Conaiderations
1. Protect Deliv�ry Risk
The Admin►sVat►on recommends that any dev�ation from a City-managed delivery model undergo
a thorough evaluation of the Tenant's capacity to manage scope, cast, and quality assurance.
Although MiND has demonstrated a strong record in cultural programming, it has iimited
experience in averseeing targe-scale, municipai capitat im�ovement projects.
2. A�PP Waiver R�uest
MiND must request a waiver fram the City's Art m Pub��c Places (AiPP)contribution requ�rement.
The G.O. Bond �s sub}ect to public bond covenants; accordingly, the waiver may be in the City's
best interest to ensure full ali�ation of available resou�ces to core Project elements.
Term Sheet
The Administrat�an and MiNO have developed a Term Sheei for a proposed Amendment to the
Lease Agreement (Attachment A), which incorporates several key terms to proteci the C�ry's
financrai and operatianal fnteresls.
