FAQ - Examples of prior unsolicited proposal process in Palmetto Bay. One rejection, one resulted in an approved agreement

I am providing examples of how the unsolicited proposal process works in Palmetto Bay.

Here are two examples of unsolicited bids - and the procedure for how the public entity (Palmetto Bay) responded to the unsolicited bids per State law. 

REJECTED: The first is a (prior) Unsolicited Proposal for Parking Improvements for Village of Palmetto Bay through Private Public Partnership (PPP).  This was a REJECTED unsolicited proposal for a qualifying public-private partnership (PPP) for the Palmetto Bay downtown area. 

The discussion of the downtown parking garage was held at a special council meeting held on May 15, 2017.

The first firm presentation was performed by Bermello Ajamil & Partners.
The second firm presentation was performed by Structured Parking Solutions.

Following the firm presentations, the representatives from each firm answered questions posed by the Village Council where upon the following resolution (item 4A) was offered, passed and then deferred.
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF PALMETTO BAY, FLORIDA, RELATING TO CONTRACTS; APPROVING THE SELECTION FOR NEGOTIATION OF A FIRM TO PROVIDE PARKING IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE VILLAGE OF PALMETTO BAY; AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE SELECTED FIRM; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Sponsored by Administration)
Councilmember Siegel Lara moved item 4A forward. Seconded by Councilmember Cunningham.

Manager Silva stated that based on the results of the bid tabulations, Bermello Ajamil & Partners was the firm selected to start the negotiation process for the project.

Motion: Councilmember Singer then made a motion to defer item 4A until the September Regular Council Meeting. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor DuBois. Vote: All voted in favor (5-0). The motion passed unanimously. 

This proposal was eventually cancelled. CLICK HERE to see this proposed project (info taken from the official website of Bermello Ajamil & Partners): 
106,000 Total SF
  27,000 SF Office
  20,000 SF Retail
         464 Parking Spaces

Exampled of an ACCEPTED Unsolicited Bid proposal: The Village of Palmetto Bay received an unsolicited proposal for the management and operations of the "Parkview Cafe" at Coral Reef Park which became known as UP-No. 1516-12-002. The village responded in compliance with Florida Statutes 255.065. 

Resolution 2017-110 provides a summary of the successful UP process.  This is one example of how the process works resulting in approval/contract. 3 responses were received in response to this unsolicited proposal and one, "Hole in the wall" was selected and should be operational by early 2019.  The Village Council approved the selection of Hole in the Wall Tavern LLC, in October 2017, for the Management and Operations of the “Parkview Café” at Coral Reef Park pursuant to UP No. 1516-12-002.
