On March 9, 2004, the City held a Special Election to present the voters with seven ballot questions, including Ballot Question No. 7 entitled, "Sale of 2620 Biarritz Drive", which read as follows: "Shall the City of Miami Beach sell waterfront property located at 2620 Biarritz Drive in Miami Beach, Florida (survey and legal description of property on file in City's Public Works Department), with the sale proceeds to be utilized for the City's renovation of the Normandy Shores Golf Course?" The voters approved the sale of the Property. As part of the referendum, it was explained to the voters that the City would sell the Property through a public sale based on the fair market value as determined by a professional, independent appraisal. The Property would be sold to the highest bidder and zoned for a single- family residence. The proceeds of the sale would be used for the City's renovation of the Normandy Shores Golf Course. The duly registered and qualified voters of the City voted in favor of selling the aforementioned waterfront property. On April 22, 2004, an appraisal report was forwarded to the Mayor and City Commission, via Letter to Commission (LTC) No. 91-2004. Said report was prepared by Integra Realty Resources who estimated the market value of the Property as of April 8, 2004, to be $870,000. A copy of Integra's appraisal report is attached. On May 5,2004, the Administration recommended that the City Commission refer to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (the "Committee") for discussion, the alternative options to consider relative to the process by which the Property will be publicly and competitively offered for sale to ensure that the highest and best price is achieved. The Mayor and City Commission accepted the Administration's recommendation and referred the item to the Committee. The Committee meeting was held on May 19, 2004. The Committee discussed the sale of waterfront property located at 2620 Biarritz Drive, Miami Beach, Florida. The City Manager introduced and summarized the item by stating that the Administration RFP NO. 30-03/04 DATE: 6/18/04 6 CITY OF MIAMI BEACH is seeking guidance from the Committee relative to the competitive process and minimum bid requirements applicable to the sale of the Property. The City's Procurement Director discussed the pros and cons associated with the following processes: . Real Estate Auctioneer; . Real Estate Broker; . Competitive Sealed Bidding; . E-Bay; or a . Combination of two or more of the above processes. The Committee discussed the pros and cons, including costs, associated with the alternatives available in order to optimize the return to the City from the sale of the property. After considering the various options and the pros and cons with each, the Committee instructed the Administration to establish criteria for and prepare an RFP for a Professional Real Estate Auctioneer for the sale of the Property, and to include in the RFP a minimum bid requirement for the proposed auction. The Committee expressed a sentiment that by selecting a Professional Real Estate Auctioneer, the process would be open, fair and competitive. The Mayor and City Commission at its June 9, 2004 meeting, authorized the Administration to issue this Request for Proposals (RFP) for the selection of an auctioneer to sell to the highest bidder, City-owned property located at 2620 Biarritz Drive, Miami Beach.
