RFP for Mixed Use Development
C3TS Project No.: 1929-03.01
We are in receipt of the additional information requested by your office from the two
submitting developers. As stated in our meeting on the evening of August 8th, this
information was requested in order for us to complete our review and make our
recommendations to the Parking Committee. We have reviewed the information and
revised our evaluation form and are enclosing the same for your review.
Based on the proposals submitted together with the additional information requested, we
feel that both Phase I and Tropicaire have done exceptional work in preparing very
competitively proposals. Both proposals exhibited creativity, well thought out financial
planning and unique approaches to this development. However, when both proposals are
weighed in accordance with the R.F.P., evaluation criteria as set forth in Section 3
paragraph 4, sub section D, the results are as follows:

Therefore, it is our recommendation to the Hometown District Parking Committee that they
recommend to the City Manager and Council to enter into negotiations with the number
one rank team (Tropicaire Development, Inc.) and in the event negotiations be
unsuccessful, that negotiations be commenced with the second rank team (Phase I
Development) .

3. Area under ramp will need to be blocked in.
4. FPL vault and area too big.
*5. Trash area too small-will need more dumpsters.
No access to trucks.
6. Turning radii for parking after Ramp 2 is non-
conforming without losing 4 spaces. Could be
solved by extending parking plate over arcade
as per 20-7.9,20-7.8. of HTPOD
*7. Arcade/Colonade depth less than 8'-0" clear
along 58th Avenue and 73rd Street.
8. No elevation along S.W. --Will not preserve
street facade.
9. Project is overall feasible with minor
modifications.

2. INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT OVERVIEW:
A. Site Location: The proposed infill development project is located in the City's Hometown
District, and is generally bounded by S.W. 73rd St. on the South, S.W. 58th Avenue on the
East, and S.W. 58 th Ct. on the West. Please see attached location plan aerial, etc. (Exhibit 1).
B. Physical Description: The project area consists of approximately .75 acres of land and
includes 142.5 feet offrontage on S.W. 73rd St. and 150 feet of frontage along S.W. 58th
Avenue. The subject property is currently paved and is used as a municipal metered parking
lot.
C. Project Overview: In November of 1992, members of the community gathered for a public
"Charrette" or a design workshop on the future of the downtown area. The design workshop
included several days of around-the-clock design sessions and discussions. This public
process brought together people from all segments of the community, professionals from all
levels of governments and a diverse group of consultants to develop a common vision for the
downtown. This common vision is called the Hometown Plan which later was codified in
the Hometown District. The plan is based on the concept that like a traditional, small-town
downtown, South Miami downtown ought to be a neighborhood where a full range of uses
exist and are juxtaposed to create a synergy that brings life and vitality to downtown. The
plan is based on the concept that the streets belong to people and the awareness of how
individual buildings relate to each other and how users collectively interact with the sidewalk
and the street will determine the success of creating people friendly streets and public
squares. The plan identified a series of "Initial Projects" to act as catalyst for re-
development.
3. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Unified Development: The City is soliciting proposals from private developers or
individuals who can provide the City with an integrated improvement package including but
not limited to planning, design, construction, leasing and management for the City-owned
property currently occupied by the municipal metered parking lot.
B. Commitment of Funds: The City shall provide no direct or indirect financing to the
development. The City will enter into a long-term property lease agreement with the
successful developer for an annual rent payment which may be comprised of a minimum
guaranteed rent and a percentage rent based on gross revenues. The terms and conditions of
the property lease agreement shall be negotiated to complement the financing strategy and/or
the depreciation schedule.
The successful developer is required to provide all the necessary financing for all aspects of the
proposed development.
C. Proposal Development Considerations: All proposals must consider and adhere to the
following factors in developing the project proposal.
1. Development Objectives: The primary objective is to design a people-oriented mixed-use
development to provide active building edges along S.W. 73rd Street and S.W. 58th Avenue,
and an adequate supply of off-street parking. The amount of parking provided shall not only
replace the existing parking and meet the requirements of the project, but also provide
additional short-term parking for the area merchants. The project is envisioned to be three-
story to four-stories in height and to act as a demonstration project for infill development.
The retail components are expected to cater to the smaller tenants to create pedestrian
friendly and diverse strorefronts. The project design shall be supportive of and in keeping
with the proposed Comprehensive Master Plan for the City and comply with all the related
Hometown overlay ordinances.
2. Lease Terms and Annual Lease Payment: The terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement
between the City and the successful developers, including length of agreement and annual
payment shall be negotiated to complement the financing strategy and/or depreciation
schedule; however, all proposals submitted should define these terms as part of the lease
agreement terms.
3. Site Improvements: The existing improvement shall be cleared by the developer and all site
improvements must comply with all applicable code requirements, and the successful
developer shall be responsible for acquiring all required permits and do the necessary impact
studies.
