THE CHESAPEAKE GROUP, INC. November 22, 1999 Marla Dumas Director of Planning City of Sunny Isles Beach Fax 305-949-3113 QSubject: Proposal For Services Dear Marla: On behalf of The Chesapeake Group, Inc., let me thank you for the opportunity to submit this brief proposal for professional survey and analysis services for Sunny Isles Beach. The Chesapeake Group, Inc. is enthusiastic about the prospects for the project, based on our familiarity and experience with the South Florida and other municipalities in Miami -Dade and Broward Counties and experiences in many other communities and jurisdictions throughout the country. The Chesapeake Group, Inc. (TCG) is an economic analysis, planning, and economic development consulting firm headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, but with a more than twenty year record of service in South Florida. Over the past twenty-five years, TCG has been involved with many non-profit and for -profit entities seeking analyses of creative retail, office, industrial, hotel/motel/inn, housing, recreation, and multi -use development activity and implementation assistance in numerous communities striving for economic enhancement. The success of the firm can be measured in numerous ways, including: the number of jobs retained and created; the number of new businesses attracted; increased market penetration levels; the investment in millions of dollars in projects; the increased efficiency in public sector financing and expenditures; the expansion of markets served; and the number of newly created successful ventures. TCG is unique, differentiated from other planning and analyses entities for the collective reasons that follow: 1. TCG specializes in analyses of and implementation activity for communities interested in their economic enhancement and quality development. We have established a particular market niche associated with analyses of areas striving for new opportunities, increased focus, and growth in a manner acceptable to a host of diverging interests. 2. TCG's work most often entails the development of significant primary data or a new base that does not exist at the present time. This is the focus of the proposed work for your effort. 3. TCG is the only firm with the technical resources to: internalize the conduct of primary data collection and surveys; perform detailed analyses and present the findings in a manner that the general public can comprehend; develop implementation schemes; and assist with project implementation. 8516 GREEN LANE BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 21244 410-265-1784/(FAX)410-521-0480 1
