The RAP is used to: 1. Assist the client in prioritizing group or individuals based on their ability to understand the risk of a project. 2. Provide high performing vendors the opportunity to differentiate themselves due to their experience and expertise. 3. Giving the competitive edge to experienced companies who have done the type of work before, who can see the job from beginning to end, and who know how to minimize the risk. 4. Provide a mechanism~for the high performers to regulate the low performers by ensuring that if they are not selected, the selected company will minimize the risk and provide the client with a comparable performance. Vendors should keep in the mind that the RAP is only one step in the selection process. if all the RAP's are the same, the RAP will have little impact in the selection (other factors, such as past performance and interview will dictate the selection). The RAP will become part of the contract. RAP Plan Format The format for the RAP is attached. The RAP should clearly address the following items in a non- technical manner: 1. List and prioritize major risk items or decisions to be made that are unique to this project. This includes items that may cause the project to not be completed on time, not finished within budget, generate any change orders, or may be a source of dissatisfaction for the owner. Attach a cost ($), time extension, or quality differential for every risk. 2. Explain how the vendor will avoid /minimize the risk. If the vendor has a unique method to minimize the risk, it should be explained in non-technical terms. 3. Propose any options that could increase the value (expectation or quality) of their work. List any value or differential that the vendor is bringing to the project. 4. Attach a schedule with up to six major milestones and weeks of each major task. No names!!! - In order to minimize any bias by the evaluation committee, the RAP must not contain ANY names (such as contractor, manufacturer, or designer names, personnel names, project names, product names. or company letterhead). The RAP should not contain any marketing information. Length -The client's goal is to make the selection process as efficient as possible. Efficiency is to minimize the effort of all participants, especially those who will not get the project. Therefore, the RAP should be a brief, well organized and concise. The RAP must not exceed 2 pages. Font size -The font should be no smaller than 12 point. Organization -Outline format. The attached format is only a sample. May 19, 2006 City of Miami Beach RFP No: 23-05/06 35 of 46 Impact of Risks Risks are any items that you should be concerned with throughout the entire project. They are the most critical items that can impact the cost, time, or quality expectation of the client. Think through the project. What would bother the client? Why would you have to communicate with the client? What would make someone call the client's representative and cause them stress? The risks should be p'•ioritized, or listed in order by the greatest risks at the top to the lowest risk in descending order. Each risk should have a cost and/or time concern. If the risk has cost implications, the actuai estimated cost should be listed. If it has time concerns, the number of days should be listed. Rating of Risk Assessment Plans The RAP will be rated by the Evaluation Committee assigned to this project. Rating criteria will be: 1. The understanding and minimization of risks. 2. Contractor's differentiation of their value. 3. Schedule. Checklist for Risk Assessment Plan 4. Are all names removed from the RAP: personal, project, or company names? 5. Does every risk have a cost or time attached to it? 6. Are risks listed, high impact risks? (Do not list risks that you can easily handle unless you perceive others are not doing it) 7. Does the RAP include all service, quality control processes; documentation that you do that your competition does not. 8. Are you including PR risks such as interfacing with project managers, users of the facility, or audit/inspection personnel? 9. Do you have a simple schedule with major milestones? 10. Do you understand that anything you list becomes a part of your contract? 11. Does your RAP plan differentiate you? By how much? 12. Can your RAP plan make anon-technical person comfortable with hiring you? 13. Did you number the pages of the risk assessment plan? 14. Did you make 11 copies of your RAP? If all items are checked, your risk assessment plan is ready to submit.

The Ordinance applies to all employees of a Contractor who work within the City limits of the City of Miami Beach, Florida; and the Contractor's employees located in the United States, but outside of the City of Miami Beach limits, who are directly performing work on the contract within the City of Miami Beach. All bidders shall complete and return, with their bid, the "Declaration: Non- discrimination in Contracts and Benefits" form contained herein. The City shall not enter into any contract unless the bidder certifies that such group or individual does not discriminate in the provision of Benefits between employees with Domestic Partners and employees with spouses and/or between the Domestic Partners and spouses of such employees. Contractors may also comply with the Ordinance by providing an employee with the Cash Equivalent of such Benefit or Benefits, if the City Manager or his designee determines that the successful bidder Contractor shall complete and return the "Reasonable Measures Application" contained herein, and the Cash Equivalent proposed. It is important to note that bidders are considered in compliance if bidder provides benefits neither to employees' spouses nor to employees' Domestic Partners. Following this page please find a Q & A of the major points of the proposed Ordinance. Additionally, the following documents need to be returned to the City with your bid: • Declaration: Nondiscrimination in Contracts and Benefits Form • Reasonable Measures Application Form PROPOSED EQUAL BENEFITS ORDINANCE SUMMARY The foregoing analysis provides a summary of the major points of the proposed Ordinance: 1) What is the intent of the Ordinance? The proposed Ordinance will require certain contractors doing business with the City of Miami Beach, who are awarded a contract pursuant to competitive bids, to provide "Equal Benefits" to their employees with Domestic Partners, as they provide to employees with spouses. 2) How are "Equal Benefits" defined and what kind of "Benefits" does the Ordinance cover? "Equal Benefits" means that contractors doing business with the City who are covered by the May 19, 2006 RFP No: 23-05/06 City of Miami Beach 40 of 46 Ordinance shall be required to provide the same type of benefits that they offer to employees and their spouses, to employees with Domestic Partners. The type of "Benefits" defined by the Ordinance and which may be offered by a contractor include: sick leave, bereavement leave, family medical leave, and health benefits. The "Benefits" defined in the Ordinance are the same type of benefits that the City provides to Domestic Partners of City employees, pursuant to Section 62-128 of the City Code]. Notwithstanding the definition of "Benefits" in the Ordinance, to comply with the Ordinance a Contractor is not required to provide all the above-described benefits. Contractors are only required to offer the same type of Benefits they offer to their employees with spouses, to employees with Domestic Partners. Additionally, a Contractor who offers no benefits to employees or their spouses, would not be required to offer any benefits to employees with Domestic Partners (and would still be in compliance with the Ordinance).] 3) Who is considered a "Domestic Partner" under the Ordinance? A "Domestic Partner" shall mean any two (2) adults of the same or different sex who have registered as domestic partners with a government body pursuant to state or local law authorizing such registration, or with an internal registry maintained by the employer of at least one of the domestic partners. 4) What type of Contracts and/or which Contractors are covered by the Ordinance? The Ordinance only applies to the following: • Competitively bid City contracts (bids, RFP's, RFQ's, RFLI's, etc.). • Contracts valued at over $100,000. Contractors who maintain 51 or more full time employees on their payrolls during 20 or more calendar work weeks in either the current or the preceding calendar year. Contractors covered by the Ordinance are only required to comply as to employees who: 1) either work within the City limits of the City of Miami Beach; or 2) the contractor's employees located in the United States, but outside of the City limits, only if those employees are directly performing work on the City contract (covered by the Ordinance). 5) In what cases does the Ordinance not apply? The provisions of the Ordinance do not apply where: • The City contract has been has been entered into prior to the effective date of the Ordinance (including renewal terms contained in such contracts). • The City contract is not competitively bid. • The City contract is valued at less than $100,000. • The contractor has less than 51 employees. • The contractor does not provide Benefits either to employees' spouses or to employees' Domestic Partners. • The contractor is a religious organization, association, society or any non profit charitable or educational institution or organization operated, supervised or May 19, 2006 RFP No: 23-05/06 City of Miami Beach 41 of 46 controlled by or in conjunction with a religious organization, association or society. The contractor is another government entity. The following City contracts are not covered by the Ordinance: • Contracts for sale or lease of City property. • Development Agreements. • Contracts/grants for CDBG, HOME, SHIP, and Surtax funds administered by the City's Office of Community Development • Cultural Arts Council grants • Contracts for professional A/E, landscape A/E, or survey and mapping services procured pursuant to Chapter 287.055, Florida Statutes ("The Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act". • Contracts for the procurement of life, health, accident, hospitalization, legal expense, annuity insurance, or any and all other kinds of insurance for the officers and employees of the City and their dependents, from a group insurance plan. The Ordinance provides, upon written recommendation of the City Manager, that the City Commission may, by 5/7ths vote, waive application of the Ordinance for the following: Emergency contracts. Contracts where only one bid response is received. Contracts where more than one bid response is received, but none of the bidders can comply with the requirements of the Ordinance. The City's ability to apply the Ordinance may also be preempted in instances where the Ordinance impacts health, retirement, or pension program which fall within the jurisdiction of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (FRIBA), and may under certain circumstances be held invalid under Federal preemption. 6) How is the Ordinance enforced by the City? • City contracts that are covered by the Ordinance shall notify potential bidders/proposers of the Ordinance and its requirements in the issued bid documents. • At the time of entering into the contract with the City, the proposed City contractor shall certify to the City that it intends to provide Equal Benefits, along with the description of its employee benefits plan, which needs to be delivered to the Procurement Director prior to entering into the contract. • The City has the ongoing right to investigate/audit contracts for compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance. • The contractor is required to post notice to its employees at its place of business that it provides Equal Benefits. May 19, 2006 RFP No: 23-05/06 City of Miami Beach 42 of 46 7) Is there another way for a Contractor who does not provide Equal Benefits to comply with the Ordinance? If a contractor covered by the Ordinance has made a reasonable yet unsuccessful effort to provide Equal Benefits, it can still comply with the Ordinance by providing an employee with the "Cash Equivalent" of the similar benefit(s) offered to the contractor's employees and their spouses. 8) What are the penalties for non compliance? Failure of a contractor to comply with the requirements of the Ordinance may result in the following: • Breach/default under the contract. • Termination of the contract. • Monies due under the contract may be retained by the City until compliance is achieved. • Debarment of contractors from City work, as prescribed by the City Code.

We are requesting $38,570 to be able to conduct this program beginning in the 07-08 school year. The locations, Scott Rakow Youth Center, Flamingo Pazk, and Muss Park have a combined total of approximately 415 children that will be seen once per week for 45- 60 minutes throughout the school year. Services will not be provided when schools are not in session. The "Playing the Game of Life" Program will be interactive and experiential so that lessons taught will be learned and understood intrinsically by the children. Yoga and drumming will be incorporated to provide a mind and body approach that will provide the children with a well rounded skills set of activities throughout the year: These activities are designed to be fun and encourage active child participation. The goal of the "Playing the Game of Life" Social Skills and character-building program is to empower children, increase their self-esteem, and prevent future acting out behavior. The Program, says its author, Jeannette Egozi, "teaches that everything is a choice in the way we respond to what is happening around us and inside of us". AYUDA's Program facilitators will complete teaching all the groups at each of the sites. aIa ~ C ,uH..,,.f.gwu ~x.: Mnm m.ffi.^5 ELDER A1n1aAIRS ~+ ~ ~ wmarc. (., ..-.nNrvim. ....

Goals: Each class will help the children to be more attentive at school, to understand their own emotions, where did they come from, how to deal with them. They will be able to increase concentration and awareness, bringing up a more relaxed being. They will become more connected, compassioned, with the right amount of attention. They will improve the learning capability and understand better their own iruier world and the links and responsibilities with the surroundings. Children will benefit fi•om each class discovering their unlimited possibilities in terms of movements, flexibilities, openness that will help not only their bodies but also their minds and emotions. Also the children will be having a lot of fun, learning about themselves without noticing, interacting with others and with their own beings in a more respectful and profound way. They will achieve a true sense of self confidence not giving by the outside but from within, they will discover values of friendship, love, levels of understanding, non violence, patience, respect for older people and fol• the planet and transform bad habits into good ones. The good results of yoga will be noticed by parents and teachers: Children will be better students as well as in their relation with families and friends. True beings will come out with strong values of solidarity and citizenship. They will be showing positive changes in their social skills, self esteem and the empowerment of each child as a leader for the future. Activities: 1) -Sitting and short meditation focusing in positive thoughts and ideas. Learning to replace bad thoughts for• good ones. There will be a premise in each class like: `You are perfect and smart'. `You can achieve all your dreams'. `You are unique in the universe, celebrate yourself'. `You can improve and be a better student'. `You are loved always and anywhere'. With this short message the mind will find a positive occupation, building up an unbeatable self esteem and love for themselves and humanity. 2) -Teaching easy ways to breath better, knowing where the air is coming from, how is the process of breathing, and the importance for the whole health of the body and mind. They will ]earn how to re-educate the way they breath, how to use the breath to deal with daily events in a more relaxed way. 40 3) -Teachings of `asanas' or yoga poses. Teaching of a series of movements to open up different parts of the bodies and bring attention to tensions and parts that are tight or in pain. The `asanas' part of the class will be done in a very fun way, like a play or game. They will have to imitate animals, nature forms, sounds. They will have to go to the mat, roll back and forth, being playful and spontaneous. By bringing the joy and the laugh out they will learn how not to be afraid of being a child and not to be afraid of what others may think of them. This is an extraordinary opportunity for the students to learn about their bodies, how all the inner systems are connected, how to take care and respect their own bodies. The immediate benefit of this active part of the class will be reflected in a change of behavior and mood towards calmness and concentration. When the body is open and relax the mind received the right amount of oxygen and the intellectual abilities start shining with brightness and clearness. 4) - We are what we eat and teachings of good habits of eating and nutrition are an essential part of the yoga practice. The complete art of yoga works in very profound levels of the individual, the most simple pose activate the organism desintoxicating the inner organs. This is the wholeness of this practice and tradition: there are not only benefits to the mind but also to the entire body. The results in a change of nutritional habits are almost immediately. In this society with an increase in obesity rates amongst young children yoga is the perfect tool. When a child start doing yoga every part of the practice leads to equilibrium and equanimity and this also includes the relation of the individual with food. Each child will be able to choose, identified, decide between a healthy choice and an unhealthy one. They will learn to listen to theirs own bodies and will be able to stop any tendency to obesity just by doing the practice, breathing and poses. At the same time yoga works as a wonderful tool of prevention for obesity because has a direct influence in the levels of anxiety that brought the kids to eat out of control. As the rest of the class this nutritional section will be given to the child in a very fun way. We will work with small task to do each week challenging the kids to change one eating habit and observing what happen when they do that. Replacing the bad for the healthy. Observing themselves to see how they feel, how their bodies react to the changes, etc. Finally the work of the mind, body and soul towards serenity and relaxation opens up a whole new universe not only for the kids but also for their entire families. That will learn to approach the time to eat and the foods they choose in a much healthy and organic way. 5) -At the end of the class they will be given a small task to remember during the following days. Like `pick up your plate from the table after you finished eating'. "Turn the light of your room every time you are not in'. `Organize your closet and hang your clothes'. `Remember to recycle the trash in your house and in the school'. `Don't let the water run in an unnecessary way', etc. In the next class before finishing the practice we will have a few minutes to talk about the task, if they did it, if they don't remember- to do it, how they feel after they did the task, etc,. This practice is a very easy way to call the attention, observe themselves and their own habits and start changing for good. 41 Yoga with fun!
