INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:The Honorable Mayor &Members of the City Commission
FROM:Steven Alexander, City Manager
DATE:June 5, 2018 Agenda Item No.:_____
SUBJECT:A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement
with CBRE, Inc., to conduct market value services for the South Miami
parking garage.
BACKGROUND:The City requires expert financial advisory and market value services for the
South Miami parking garage to assist in the evaluation of a potential future
transfer of ownership of the South Miami parking garage between the City and
Mark Richmond Properties (MRP). MRP has expressed an interest in a
transition in ownership most likely involving creating condominium type
ownerships in the current parking garage effectively transferring the operation
and management of the South Miami parking garage, excluding retail, to the
City. MRP has made it clear that they wish to maintain control over the
commercial opportunities and space on the ground floor and relinquish control
and ownership of all current parking space including the fifth level which they
now control.
Therefore,prior to formally entering into those discussionswith MRP, the City
needs a market value analysis of the South Miami parking garage to determine
at a minimum the financial costs and benefits, the current revenue stream, the
City’s obligation and, it if the transfer of the ownership is in the best financial
interest of the City.
The City Charter, stipulates that all purchases shall be approved after
competitive conditions have been maintained and competitive bids sought
from at least three different sources of supply, however Section 5. “Powers and
Duties,” states; this subsection does not apply to the purchase oflegal and
expert services that have been approved by the City commission.
The consultant agreement submitted by CBRE, Inc., is in compliance with the
City Charter for “expert services,” and therefore competitive conditions do not
apply.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. The Terms and Conditions herein are part of an agreement for appraisal services (the “Agreement” ) between
CBRE, Inc. (the “Appraiser”) and the client signing this Agreement, and for whom the appraisal services will be
performed (the “Client”), and shall be deemed a part of such Agreement as though set forth in full therein. The
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state where the appraisal office is located for the Appraiser
executing this Agreement.
2. Client shall be responsible for the payment of all fees stipulated in the Agreement. Payment of the appraisal fee
and preparation of an appraisal report (the “Appraisal Report, or the “report”) are not contingent upon any
predetermined value or on an action or event resulting from the analyses, opinions, conclusions, or use of the
Appraisal Report. Final payment is due as provided in the Proposal Specifications Section of this Agreement. If a
draft report is requested, the fee is considered earned upon delivery of the draft report. It is understood that the
Client may cancel this assignment in writing at any time prior to delivery of the completed report. In such event,
the Client is obligated only for the prorated share of the fee based upon the work completed and expenses
incurred (including travel expenses to and from the job site), with a minimum charge of $500. Additional copies
of the Appraisal Reports are available at a cost of $250 per original color copy and $100 per photocopy (black
and white), plus shipping fees of $30 per report.
3. If Appraiser is subpoenaed or ordered to give testimony, produce documents or information, or otherwise required
or requested by Client or a third party to participate in meetings, phone calls, conferences, litigation or other legal
proceedings (including preparation for such proceedings) because of, connected with or in any way pertaining to
this engagement, the Appraisal Report, the Appraiser’s expertise, or the Property, Client shall pay Appraiser’s
additional costs and expenses, including but not limited to Appraiser’s attorneys’ fees, and additional time incurred
by Appraiser based on Appraiser’s then-prevailing hourly rates and related fees. Such charges include and
pertain to, but are not limited to, time spent in preparing for and providing court room testimony, depositions,
travel time, mileage and related travel expenses, waiting time, document review and production, and preparation
time (excluding preparation of the Appraisal Report), meeting participation, and Appraiser’s other related
commitment of time and expertise. Hourly charges and other fees for such participation will be provided upon
request. In the event Client requests additional appraisal services beyond the scope and purpose stated in the
Agreement, Client agrees to pay additional fees for such services and to reimburse related expenses, whether or
not the completed report has been delivered to Client at the time of such request.
4. Appraiser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for cause effective immediately upon written
notice to Client on the occurrence of fraud or the willful misconduct of Client, its employees or agents, or without
cause upon 30 days written notice.
5. In the event Client fails to make payments when due then, from the date due until paid, the amount due and
payable shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted in the state where the office is located for the Appraiser
executing the Agreement. In the event either party institutes legal action against the other to enforce its rights
under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
Each party waives the right to a trial by jury in any action arising under this Agreement.
6. Appraiser assumes there are no major or significant items or issues affecting the Property that would require the
expertise of a professional building contractor, engineer, or environmental consultant for Appraiser to prepare a
valid report. Client acknowledges that such additional expertise is not covered in the Appraisal fee and agrees
that, if such additional expertise is required, it shall be provided by others at the discretion and direction of the
Client, and solely at Client’s additional cost and expense.
7. In the event of any dispute between Client and Appraiser relating to this Agreement, or Appraiser's or Client's
performance hereunder, Appraiser and Client agree that such dispute shall be resolved by means of binding
arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, and
judgment upon the award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Depositions may be taken and other discovery obtained during such arbitration proceedings to the same extent as
authorized in civil judicial proceedings in the state where the office of the Appraiser executing this Agreement is
located. The arbitrator shall be limited to awarding compensatory damages and shall have no authority to award
punitive, exemplary or similar damages. The prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding shall be entitled to
recover its expenses from the losing party, including costs of the arbitration proceeding, and reasonable attorney's
fees. Client acknowledges that Appraiser is being retained hereunder as an independent contractor to perform the
services described herein and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any other relationship between
165

VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES
Client and Appraiser. This engagement shall be deemed concluded and the services hereunder completed upon
delivery to Client of the Appraisal Report discussed herein.
8. All statements of fact in the report which are used as the basis of the Appraiser's analyses, opinions, and
conclusions will be true and correct to Appraiser's actual knowledge and belief. Appraiser does not make any
representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information or the
condition of the Property furnished to Appraiser by Client or others. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW, APPRAISER DISCLAIMS ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY AS TO THE OPINIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
PRESENTED ORALLY OR IN ANY APPRAISAL REPORT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF
FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE EVEN IF KNOWN TO APPRAISER. Furthermore, the conclusions and
any permitted reliance on and use of the Appraisal Report shall be subject to the assumptions, limitations, and
qualifying statements contained in the report.
9. Appraiser shall have no responsibility for legal matters, including zoning, or questions of survey or title, soil or
subsoil conditions, engineering, or other similar technical matters. The report will not constitute a survey of the
Property analyzed.
10. Client shall provide Appraiser with such materials with respect to the assignment as are requested by Appraiser
and in the possession or under the control of Client. Client shall provide Appraiser with sufficient access to the
Property to be analyzed, and hereby grants permission for entry unless discussed in advance to the contrary.
11. The data gathered in the course of the assignment (except data furnished by Client) and the report prepared
pursuant to the Agreement are, and will remain, the property of Appraiser. With respect to data provided by
Client, Appraiser shall not violate the confidential nature of the Appraiser-Client relationship by improperly
disclosing any proprietary information furnished to Appraiser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Appraiser is
authorized by Client to disclose all or any portion of the report and related data as may be required by statute,
government regulation, legal process, or judicial decree, including to appropriate representatives of the Appraisal
Institute if such disclosure is required to enable Appraiser to comply with the Bylaws and Regulations of such
Institute as now or hereafter in effect.
12. Unless specifically noted, in preparing the Appraisal Report the Appraiser will not be considering the possible
existence of asbestos, PCB transformers, or other toxic, hazardous, or contaminated substances and/or
underground storage tanks (collectively, “Hazardous Material) on or affecting the Property, or the cost of
encapsulation or removal thereof. Further, Client represents that there is no major or significant deferred
maintenance of the Property that would require the expertise of a professional cost estimator or contractor. If such
repairs are needed, the estimates are to be prepared by others, at Client’s discretion and direction, and are not
covered as part of the Appraisal fee.
13. In the event Client intends to use the Appraisal Report in connection with a tax matter, Client acknowledges that
Appraiser provides no warranty, representation or prediction as to the outcome of such tax matter. Client
understands and acknowledges that any relevant taxing authority (whether the Internal Revenue Service or any
other federal, state or local taxing authority) may disagree with or reject the Appraisal Report or otherwise disagree
with Client’s tax position, and further understands and acknowledges that the taxing authority may seek to collect
additional taxes, interest, penalties or fees from Client beyond what may be suggested by the Appraisal Report.
Client agrees that Appraiser shall have no responsibility or liability to Client or any other party for any such taxes,
interest, penalties or fees and that Client will not seek damages or other compensation from Appraiser relating to
any such taxes, interest, penalties or fees imposed on Client, or for any attorneys’ fees, costs or other expenses
relating to Client’s tax matters.
14. Appraiser shall have no liability with respect to any loss, damage, claim or expense incurred by or asserted against
Client arising out of, based upon or resulting from Client’s failure to provide accurate or complete information or
documentation pertaining to an assignment ordered under or in connection with this Agreement, including Client’s
failure, or the failure of any of Client’s agents, to provide a complete copy of the Appraisal Report to any third
party.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM SECTION 16 BELOW, OR SECTION 17 IF
APPLICABLE, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATE, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT,
WARRANTY, INDEMNITY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL,

APPLY IN THE EVENT OF A FINAL FINDING BY AN ARBITRATOR OR A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
THAT SUCH LIABILITY IS THE RESULT OF A PARTY’S FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
16. Client shall not disseminate, distribute, make available or otherwise provide any Appraisal Report prepared
hereunder to any third party (including without limitation, incorporating or referencing the Appraisal Report , in
whole or in part, in any offering or other material intended for review by other parties) except to (i) any third party
expressly acknowledged in a signed writing by Appraiser as an “Intended User” of the Appraisal Report provided
that either Appraiser has received an acceptable release from such third party with respect to such Appraisal
Report or Client provides acceptable indemnity protections to Appraiser against any claims resulting from the
distribution of the Appraisal Report to such third party, (ii) any third party service provider (including rating
agencies and auditors) using the Appraisal Report in the course of providing services for the sole benefit of an
Intended User, or (iii) as required by statute, government regulation, legal process, or judicial decree. In the event
Appraiser consents, in writing, to Client incorporating or referencing the Appraisal Report in any offering or other
materials intended for review by other parties, Client shall not distribute, file, or otherwise make such materials
available to any such parties unless and until Client has provided Appraiser with complete copies of such materials
and Appraiser has approved all such materials in writing. Client shall not modify any such materials once
approved by Appraiser. In the absence of satisfying the conditions of this paragraph with respect to a party who is
not designated as an Intended User, in no event shall the receipt of an Appraisal Report by such party extend any
right to the party to use and rely on such report, and Appraiser shall have no liability for such unauthorized use
and reliance on any Appraisal Report. In the event Client breaches the provisions of this paragraph, Client shall
indemnify, defend and hold Appraiser, and its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents
and other representatives (Appraiser and each of the foregoing an “Indemnified Party” and collectively the
“Indemnified Parties”), fully harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (collectively,
“Damages”) claimed against, sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or in connection with
such breach, regardless of any negligence on the part of any Indemnified Party in preparing the Appraisal Report.
17. Furthermore, Client shall indemnify, defend and hold each of the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against
any Damages in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with the
appraisal or the engagement of or performance of services by any Indemnified Party hereunder, (ii) any Damages
claimed by any user or recipient of the Appraisal Report, whether or not an Intended User, (iii) any actual or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or the actual or alleged failure to state a material fact necessary to
make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made with respect to all
information furnished to any Indemnified Party or made available to a prospective party to a transaction, or (iv) an
actual or alleged violation of applicable law by an Intended User (including, without limitation, securities laws) or
the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of an Intended User (including the failure to perform any duty
imposed by law); and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable fees and expenses (including fees
and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Expenses”) as incurred in connection with investigating, preparing,
pursuing or defending any threatened or pending claim, action, proceeding or investigation (collectively,
“Proceedings”) arising therefrom, and regardless of whether such Indemnified Party is a formal party to such
Proceeding. Client agrees not to enter into any waiver, release or settlement of any Proceeding (whether or not
any Indemnified Party is a formal party to such Proceeding) without the prior written consent of Appraiser (which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such waiver, release or settlement includes an
unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding.
18. Time Period for Legal Action. Unless the time period is shorter under applicable law, except in connection with
paragraphs 16 and 17 above, Appraiser and Client agree that any legal action or lawsuit by one party against the
other party or its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, or other representatives, whether

Agreement or the Appraisal Report, (b) any services or appraisals under this Agreement or (c) any acts or conduct
relating to such services or appraisals, shall be filed within two (2) years from the date of delivery to Client of the
Appraisal Report to which the claims or causes of action in the legal action or lawsuit relate. The time period
stated in this section shall not be extended by any incapacity of a party or any delay in the discovery or accrual of
