Agenda Item NO.:~ July 23, 20 12
A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to award a five-year
contract to American Appraisal Associates, Inc. for the
inventory of the City's fixed assets to be in compliance with
GASB 34 fixed asset accounting standards.
The City must comply with the standards established by Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 34 Fixed Asset Accounting and all
subsequent pronouncements put forth by GASB or its successor organization.
Furthermore, assets equal to or greater than $1 ,000 be inventoried and tracked.
To comply with GASB 34, the City issued a Request for Proposal for Inventory
and Valuation Services. Prior to the RFP, the City has been soliciting quotations
for the past two fiscal years for similar services. Each quotation was for a single
fiscal year. Since this service is required each fiscal year, staff recommended a
RFP be issued for a five-year period to take advantage of pricing that would be
quoted over a longer commitment.
Four (4) firms responded to the RFP with American Appraisal Associates, Inc. as
the low bidder:

Re: GASB 34 Appraisal Services
Dear Mr. Kulick:
American
Appraisal
American Appraisal ("American Appraisal") is pleased to provide this proposal for professional
valuation consulting services. Our proposal includes a description and explanation of the scope of
the appraisal, our methodology, the deliverables, project timing and professional fees along with our
professional qualifications.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
Nature of Service
The purpose of our work will be to develop a comprehensive report covering the fixed assets of The
City of South Miami (the "City") for assistance in complying with the reporting requirements of
Governmental Accounting Standards Board's (GASB) Statement No. 34, develop an inventory for
property control purposes and develop accurate property insurance values.
Project Inclusions
The fixed assets to be included in this engagement are located in various City-owned facility sites
and structures, as reported by the City. The facilities include Capital Assets which comprise typical
municipal occupancies (administration, education, police, fire, maintenance, parks, etc.) Also
included are the City's infrastructure assets comprised of roads, lighting, signs, sidewalks, bridges,
traffic control devices, and the storm water management system.
General assets included in the development of the comprehensive fixed asset model include:
• Buildings at $50,000 and above
• Land Improvements at $25,000 and above
• Land at $1 and above
• Infrastructure at $250,000 and above
Leading I Thinking I Performing 2
City of South Miami
July 11, 2012 American
Appraisal
.. Moveable Equipment at a capitalization threshold of $5,000 for GASB 34 purposes;
inventory and barcode tag assets at $1,000 and above for property management and
control
Project Exclusions
Excluded from the services provided by this proposal are:
.. Enterprise Funds
.. Assets Below the Capitalization Thresholds
.. Leased Equipment -Operating
II Assets in or at locations that are considered as not easily accessible or identified
locations within the proposal
II Personal Property of Employees or Others
.. Vehicles
.. Supplies/Expendable Inventories
• Historical Treasures
When equipment is not easily accessible, we will consult with you to gather the information, or the
assistance, needed to perform American Appraisal's inventory.
If desired, library books, radios, computer software, fine arts and historical treasures, and licensed
vehicles can also be incorporated into the record based on information supplied by the City. This
information must be provided to American Appraisal during the initial field inspection to be included
in the reports. We will not inspect, tag or value any of the special assets identified by the City.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ApPRAISAL
The effective or "as of" date of the appraisal for accounting purposes will be as of a current date on
this project, unless otherwise advised by the City. For insurance purposes the effective or "as of"
date will be the last day of field work.
PREMISE OF VALUE
The premises of value, as well as certain related valuation terms, are defined as follows:
II Cost of Reproduction New (For Insurance Purposes Only) -The amount required to
reproduce a duplicate or a replica of the entire property at one time in like kind and
materials in accordance with current market prices for materials, labor, and
manufactured equipment, contractors' overhead and profit, and fees, but without
provision for overtime, bonuses for labor, or premiums for material or equipment. In
insurance industry terminology, cost of reproduction new, as defined above, is
synonymous with the insurance industry phrase, "replacement cost."
Leading I Thinking I Performing 3
City of South Miami
July 11, 2012 American
Appraisal
iii Historical Cost -The actual cost of a property to the present owner -the cost as of the
date the property was first constructed or originally installed. When historical cost is
provided in a usable format, it will be included. When this information is not readily
available, American Appraisal will estimate the original cost by applying reverse inflation
indices to the cost of reproduction new.
III Estimated Original Cost -The estimated original cost of the property in accordance with
costs as of the actual or estimated date the property was first constructed, originally
installed, or purchased.
III Direct Costing -Additional research into the historical cost documented as provided by
the City in a readily available and useable format, in the City's property records for the
original construction, improvements and betterments.
.. Normal Costing -Estimated cost based on the cost of reproduction new indexed by a
reciprocal factor of the price increase from the appraisal date to the actual or estimated
acquisition date.
iii Acquisition Date -When readily available, we will use the actual acquisition date of the
property. In the absence of readily available information, the acquisition date will be
estimated based upon American Appraisal's knowledge of the property type and its
condition.
II Estimated Life -An estimate will be made of the useful life of each unit-controlled asset
and each group-controlled asset. The matter of historicallifing practice versus estimated
actual lives will be discussed during the planning meeting and an acceptable approach
will be developed.
II Accumulated Depreciation -Will be based on the asset's cost, acquisition date and the
estimated useful life utilizing the straight-line basis of depreciation. Useful lives will be
based on information provided by the City or industry standards.
'" Insurable Value (For Insurance Purposes Only) -Cost of reproduction new (replacement
cost) as of the appraisal date will be used as a basis for insurable values for all
controlled property.
VALUATION ApPROACH
Our analysis will consider the three basic approaches to value: income, market and cost. In
accordance with the USPAP guidelines, all basic approaches to value will be considered; however,
because the purpose of our investigation will be to express an opinion on the existence and the
historical cost and accumulated depreciation of certain fixed assets for financial reporting purposes,
it will be considered appropriate to rely solely on the cost approach.
METHODOLOGY
Buildings
We will utilize a full-scope, segregated cost approach including an inspection of each building with a
cost of $50,000 and above to identify construction data that will be used in the valuation process.
Leading I Thinking / Performing 4
City of South Miami
July 11, 2012 American
Appraisal
During inspection of the premises, we will calculate each building's area and perimeter by measuring
the structure or through an analysis of the as-built blueprints or other verified source; identify and
record data of the major construction components (type of structure, walls, roof, etc.) and type of
construction; record number of stories and occupancy; confirmation of addresses and zip codes for
each location; record data of major service systems (electrical, plumbing, security, elevators, heating,
ventilation, cooling, fire protection, etc.); photograph the building; and record the GPS coordinates
and flood zone classifications. The insurable value of each building and the related construction,
occupancy, protection, and exposure (COPE) data obtained during the inspection will be reported on
an itemized basis for each structure appraised.
Moveable Equipment
A detailed inventory of moveable equipment will include a physical inspection and barcode tagging of
all owned equipment with a unit cost in excess of $5,000 for GASB 34 purposes, and $1,000 for
property management and control purposes. Floor plans will be required to assist the inventory
team in assuring that no areas are missed. Assets less than $1,000 will be excluded.
It is important to note that we will not be performing a detailed reconciliation to the City's existing
fixed asset ledger.
Land Improvements
While inspecting site structures, we will also conduct an inventory of site/land improvements and
miscellaneous structures at $25,000 and above. Pertinent data regarding assets in these
categories, i.e. paving, lighting, fencing, parking lots, sidewalks, signs, flagpoles, curbs, retaining
walls, etc. will be recorded to permit assignment of value.
Land
Land will be included based on the data provided to us by the City. As a part of this engagement, we
will conduct a cursory review of the data.
If the data is not available, or sufficient, for an additional fee of $125 per parcel, American Appraisal
will research the City records to identify the City's owned land assets. In gathering this data, we will:
.. Research the City Assessor's databases and files to identify land owned by the City;
.. Utilize data gathered from the City Assessor's office to research deed information;
.. Compile a data report indicating, as available, the following items:
• Parcel Number
• Date of Sa Ie
• Parcel Size
• Estimated Acquisition Price
• Street Address when available

Upon completion of the identification process we will meet with you and your external auditors to
discuss American Appraisal's findings. At that time, we will be prepared to discuss the materiality of
developing the historical costs for parcels for which acquisition costs were unavailable.
Infrastructure and Related Rights-of-Way
American Appraisal will include infrastructure assets at $250,000 and above in the GASB 34 report.
We will rely on the City to provide detailed information as follows:
III Asset Classes (roads, bridges, sidewalks, easements/ROW, traffic control, storm water, etc.)
• Quantitative (lane miles, square feet, etc.)
• Description of the Asset
• Locational Information
• Historical Cost
• Date of Acquisition
RESPONSIBILITIES

The City will receive one full bound report, as well as a .PDF file and an electronic file in Excel format
for City auditors.
Summary Appraisal Report -American Appraisal will provide the City with a Summary Appraisal
Report, in accordance with the reporting requirements set forth by the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice C"USPAP"). The report will present only summary discussions of the
data, reasoning, and analyses used in the appraisal process to develop American Appraisal's opinion
of value. Supporting documentation concerning the data, reasoning, and analyses will be retained as
a part of the work papers. American Appraisal is not responsible for unauthorized use of its report.
Fixed Asset Accounting Summary Report -The standard Fixed Asset Accounting Summary Report
displays description of fields being summarized, original cost, accumulated depreciation, net book
value, annual depreciation, projected provision, by account.
Fixed Asset Accounting Ledger Report -The Fixed Asset Accounting Ledger Report will include all
capital assets with a unit cost in excess of the City's capitalization threshold of $1,000 and the
related historical cosVestimated original cost, accumulated depreciation, and current depreciation
data for financial reporting purposes. This information will be sorted and reported upon by account.
Fixed Asset Additions Report -The Fixed Asset Additions Report will include moveable equipment
assets inventoried and bar code tagged during field work, but not contained in the City's existing
records. American Appraisal assumes these items represent moveable equipment assets that were
purchased since the last physical inventory.
Fixed Asset Retirements Report -The Fixed Asset Retirements Report will include moveable
equipment assets contained in the City's existing records, but not found during the field work.
American Appraisal assumes these items represent moveable equipment assets that were retired
since the last physical inventory. However, it should be noted that the items in the Unrecorded
Retirements Report could also be included in the Unrecorded Additions Report if their bar code tag
has been removed since the last physical inventory. It should be noted that the scope of American
Appraisal's engagement does not include any reconciliation procedures.

OPTIONAL SERVICES
Annual Updating -Properly Record Outsourcing Service
In order to protect the initial investment in the inventory and appraisal, the City may wish to employ
American Appraisal's Property Record Outsourcing Service (PROS). There are two options to
consider: Desktop PROS and On-site PROS. For the desktop service the City supplies property
changes such as additions, deletions, retirements, transfers, etc to American Appraisal on an annual
basis, usually by electronic transfer. American Appraisal's full time PROS staff then provides the City
with a fully-updated report within approximately 45 days of receipt of the changes from the City. On-
site PROS would entail an American Appraisal staff member revisiting the City in 2013 and years to
come, to conduct a verification inventory -we would re-inventory the assets, identifying and tagging
new assets found and describing prior assets not found.
TIMING
Upon receipt of your signed authorization, American Appraisal will work closely with the City to
establish project start, field work and report delivery schedules to meet your reporting requirements.
It is our understanding that the start date should be no later than November 1st of each fiscal year
and that the final report be issued no later than December 15th of each fiscal year.
FEES
The scope of our work and resultant fee estimate reflects our expectations regarding the complexity
of the valuation, as well as the information that The City of South Miami will make available to us.
Our fee for this engagement is as follows, including expenses:

The fee quotation is based on our current understanding of your requirements and the Engagement
scope. The City and American Appraisal will mutually revise the fee to reflect any changes in services.
The fees stated years 2013 thru 2016 are based on the understanding there are no additional
structures and square footage to inventory and appraise.
Fees do not include any applicable excise, sales, use or value added taxes. All such taxes shall be
the responsibility of the City and will be added to the City's invoice if American Appraisal pays these
taxes on the City's behalf.
American Appraisal's compensation is not contingent in any way upon its opinions or conclusions, or
upon any subsequent event related to those opinions or conclusions.
NEXT STEPS
We will require a fully executed Letter of Engagement between American Appraisal and the City to
begin work on our appraisal. Should the services as described in this proposal correctly reflect your
understanding approval of the project, please contact Lori Flemming at 704.439.2515 and we will
issue a Letter of Engagement authorizing American Appraisal to proceed.

INSURANCE --American Appraisal can include clients as additional insureds on its CGL and
Auto Liability policies. Our carrier does not allow us to incorporate indemnity/hold harmless
agreements on the additional insured endorsement. Also, we typically do not provide a copy
of our policies, rather, we provide a certificate of insurance.
INDEMNIFICATION --American Appraisal will indemnify clients for any damage that is caused by
its negligence. In general, we cannot indemnify over our client's own negligence, nor do we
typically take on a separate obligation to defend allegations before our negligence is
established. Also, absent any legal prohibition, we typically seek a limited return indemnity
from our clients.
SERVICE RELATED TERMS --To address certain service related concepts, we would seek to
include our remaining normal operational terms and conditions.

Pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph (2) (a) of Section 287.133, Florida State Statutes -"A
person or affiliate who has been placed on the convicted vendor list following a conviction for a
public entity crime may not submit a Bid on a Contract to provide any goods or services to a
public entity. may not submit a Bid on a Contract with a public entity for the construction or

public entity in excess of the threshold amount Category Two of Section 287.017, Florida
Statutes, for thirty six (36) months from the date of being placed on the convicted vendor list".
The award of any contract hereunder is subject to the provisions of Chapter I 12, Florida State
Statutes. BIDDERS must disclose with their Bids, the name of any officer, director, partner,
associate or agent who is also an officer or employee of the City of South Miami or it's
agencies.
SWORN STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 287.133 (3)(a),
FLORIDA STATUTES, ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES
THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY
PUBLIC OR OTHER OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.
I. This sworn statement is submitted to ------------------------------------[print name of the public entity]
by ____________________________________________________ ___
[print individual's name and title]
for ____________________________________________________________ _
[print name of entity submitting sworn statement]
whose business address is
and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is _________ _
(If the entity has no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this
sworn statement: .)
2. I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (I )(g), Florida
Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and
directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency
or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including, but not
limited to , any bid or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity
or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and
involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material
misrepresentation.
3. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (I )(b),
Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or
28
without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to
charges brought by indictment or information after July I, 1989, as a result of a jury
verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
4. I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (I )(a), Florida Statutes,
means:
(a) A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
(b) An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the
management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The
term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders,
employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The
ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in any person, or a
pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under
an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another
person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has
been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall
be considered an affiliate.
S. I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1)( e), Florida Statutes,
means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the
United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which bids or
applies to bid on contracts for the provision of goods or services led by a public entity,
or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The
term "person" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders,
employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity.
6. Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in
relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement. [Indicate which statement
applies.]
Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers,
directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are
active in the management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged
with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July I, 1989.
___ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers,
directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are
active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with
and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July I, 1989.
___ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers,
directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are
active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with
and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent of July I, 1989. However, there has
been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of Florida, Division
of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer
determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this
sworn statement on the convicted vendor list. {attach a copy of the final order.]

SOUTH MIAMI
Commission meeting gets contentious
• BUDGET, FROM 3SE
Mirabile said that despite
the shuggles with the econo-
my, the city was in good fi-
nancial health. This year, the
city is "very close to coming
to break-even" and even have
"some little savings." He said
he had some concerns for
next year. For the first time in
the history of South Miami,
the police department's cost
is greater than the general
fund revenues from property
taxes, he said.
ferred to him, Police Chief
Orlando Martinez de Castro
and Newman, who are all of
Cuban heritage, as the "Cu-
ban Mafla."
"It is illegal in this country
to discriminate on the basis
of race, creed, sexual orien-
tation or national origin,"
Mirabile said in the letter.
Beckman said she was not
discriminating against Mi-
rabile and said that she likes
Cubans. Stoddard disap-
proved of Mirabile's letter
and presented a response. In
his letter addressed to Mira-
bile, he said that his allega-
tions of "hate crime" and
"conspiracy" were extreme
and inaccurate.
"Conspiracy means that
people are agreeing to com-
mit a crime. No one has
committed a crime here,"
Stoddard said. "In a demo-
ing this week.
Welsh said Newman and
Mirabile's accusations lack
weight. He has expressed
publicly and in one of the
flyers he hands out to city
residents that he doesn't
think Mirabile and Martinez
de Castro have the city's
best interest at heart.
Earlier this month, Welsh
called for a special meeting
to propose a charter change
that would allow voters to
change the current form of
government. Under the cur-
rent city manager form of
government, the chief fman-
cial officer and the police
chief report to the city man-
ager. Welsh's proposal
would permanently give the
commission more power
over both offices.
"We are the body that
hears what the people
want,"Welshsaid. "We want
to make sure that the city's
purchasing is being done
properly and is getting a
good price."
The commission as a
whole wasn't convinced.
Liebman said commission-
ers were not equipped to
manager, fIre him for cause,
or if not, fire him for no
cause," Mirabile said at a
meeting.
Welsh said he disagreed
with Mirabile, and he is de-
termined to push for "pro-
gressive change." Stoddard
is open to the "experiment."
"If the commission had
agreed to do it, then there
would be a proposal that
would be put on the Novem-
ber ballot," Stoddard ex-
plained. "I think there are
merits to the idea, so we are
supporting a charter review
committee."

would violate the police
chief's contract.
While discussing the bud-

the current form of govern-
ment was "crystal transpar-

would create instability and
chaos.
