ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission and the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) approve two

AGENDA ITEM R '1 ~
DATE~
BACKGROUND:
The existing contract between Tishman Hotel Corporation and the City of Miami Beach is due to
expire at the end of May, 1996. Throughout the course of the contract, Tishman has played a
crucial role in negotiating the Letter of Intent with Loews, reaching imminent closure on the
execution of a development agreement with Loews and facilitating negotiations with the HCF
Group for the African-American development project.
Upon the termination of negotiations with the HCF Group, Tishman provided extensive input in
assisting the City/RDA in preparing a new RFP for an African-American Hotel. Tishman bas also
been providing assistance in reviewing the seven proposals received in response to this RFP.
With the City and the RDA embarking on a new effort to select and negotiate a contract with a
developer for the African-American Hotel, and the Loews Miami Beach Hotel about to begin
constroetion, the City/RDA should retain the services ofTishman to provide the necessary technical
guidance and to protect the City's interests throughout these initiatives.
ANALYSIS
The Administration recommends two separate contracts with Tishman, one to address the African-
American Hotel project and the other related to the closing of the Loews Miami Beach Hotel Project.
The scope of work involving the African-American Hotel would parallel services provided by
Tishman in the past, inasmuch as that they will represent the City during the selection process and
the negotiations to create a mutually satisfactory Letter ofIntent between the City/RDA and the top
ranked firm. Tishman would also be involved with the creation of the necessary documents
contemplated by the Letter of Intent to bring the African-American negotiations to closure before
construction.
This contract will involve two phases. The first phase will cover:
a) Performing due diligence to verify projections and estimates
b) Negotiations with the successful bidder to create a mutually satisfactory Letter of Intent
with the City.
c) Documentation and implementation of all agreements relating to the project including
the ground lease, development agreement and parking use agreement.
d) Advising the City/RDA on all financial, hospitality and development aspects of the
project.
The second phase of the contract will involve advising the City/RDA on all aspects of the design and
development of the project.
200
The scope of work involving closure of the Loews project, would involve ensuring that the
construction budgets of the hotel and the hotel parking garage are in line and that the quality level
meets the City's expectations. These services are the culmination of complex negotiations and design
development of a $126 million project.
This contract would be perfonned in phases as follows:
a) Closing negotiations on all agreements involved in the project.
b) Preliminary construction plans and specifications review and recommendations by
Tishman for approval or otherwise to the City.
c) Review of the guaranteed maximum price contract between Loews and their contractor,
Lebr, McGovern, Bovis and recommendations by Tishman to the City concerning the
validity of that price.
c) Review of all final construction plans and specifications for approval by the City.
The second phase which will involve the actual overseeing of the construction project, will not be
entered into at this time.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends authorizing both contracts with Tishman Hotels Corporation.

I) performing all other development, hospitality and financial consulting tasks
reasonably requested by the RDA/City in connection with the pre-construction phase of the Project.
It is the intent of this Agreement that negotiations shall culminate in agreements
satisfactory to the RDAlCity as to the Project. Tishman shall diligently perform its services under
this Agreement in order to conclude the agreements pertaining to the Project as soon as reasonably
possible, it being understood that such agreements must be approved by the RDAlCity and the third
party developers of the project.
2. TERM.
The term of this Agreement will begin on June 1, 1996. Tishman will cease
to render services under this Agreement after it has performed all services required under this
Agreement. However, in no event will this Agreement extend beyond the commencement of
construction on the Project.

letter of intent between the City, the RDA and an African-American owned development entity

Commission.

Mr. Murray H. Dubbin
City Attorney
City of Miami Beach/City Hall
1700 Convention Center Drive
Miami Beach, FL 33139
Dear Murray,
I have circulated your questionnaire throughout our company to comply with your request. I think
it is important to point out that with a company of our size and stature in the hospitality industry it
is virtually impossible for our staff not to have had contact and relationships with individuals and
entities listed among the various bidders throughout the course of their careers. Therefore, I have
broken down our response into categories that reflect different levels of association on the part of the
company and individual staff members. I started with those companies with whom we presently have
a relationship and moved to those we once had a relationship with and concluded with staff who have
had relationships in their career prior to joining Tishman.
Finally, as a result of our representation of the City on the Loews hotel project, we have obviously
become associated with the various consultants on the Loews team many of whom have found their
way onto some of the teams. We have chosen to ignore them in our response. Similarly, we are
commonly hired by hotel owners whose property is managed by third party hotel operators and
property owners whose developers and construction managers we oversee. Since we have an
oversight role and no direct business relationships with these managers, we have not listed these
companies in our response. We have also omitted from mention individuals within the industry
known on a professional or personal basis by members of our staff.
None of the relationships on the attached constitute a conflict of interest, in our opinion, since none
is pres~ntly is or formerly has been a client.

Dear Murray,
I have circulated your second questionnaire throughout our company to comply with your request
and can report to you that this latest information does not change the substance of our original
response. Again, there are individuals who staffhave worked with prior to joining Tishman. and again
there are individuals known by Tishman staff on a personal or professional basis. I would repeat the
closing remark of my earlier letter, "none of the relationships on the attached constitute a conflict of
interest, in our opinion, since none presently is or formerly has been a client" 0
Finally, I do not think it is material to your questionnaire but mention it in the interest of full
disclosure, one of our clients is litigating against Hyatt and several of our employees have been
subpoenaed. Additionally, we have filed a Motion for Protective Order against Hyatt in connection
therewith.
