THE CHESAPEAKE GROUP, INC. 4. Howard Kohn, TCG's President and the Project Manager for the effort should we be fortunate enough to obtain a contract, has spent most of his professional career doing analyses and implementation related planning and economic development work. 5. TCG has significant familiarity with economic and planning conditions and circumstances in various diverse parts of Florida. We have been fortunate enough a to have worked in broad geographic areas, ranging from the Panhandle to Homestead for the past twenty years. TCG has been fortunate enough in the past two years alone or at the current time to have provided services to Coconut Grove, the Miami River, Pensacola Beach, Fort Lauderdale, the Upper Eastside/Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, and North Miami Beach. We bring to the effort a significant data base and knowledge that can only be of assistance in facilitating a smooth evaluation. 6. TCG efforts involve only the time of highly skilled principals, not lower level staff with minimal experience. 7. TCG has built its reputation on providing a high level of service, having a real commitment to make efforts successful, and providing a quality product that produces results. Attesting to the level of service and commitment, TCG received the 1991 Small Business Service Award from the Baltimore County Economic Development Commission. TCG was nominated for this award by the Eastern Baltimore Area Chamber of Commerce, the Liberty Communities Development Corporation, and the Pikesville Community Growth Corporation. These were three of TCG's clients in Baltimore County. 8. TCG has a reputation for being associated with projects that are both creative and have met with success. TCG approaches the effort intended to provide pragmatic information and solutions to the current evolutionary activity and circumstances. That pragmatism is of critical importance to this particular effort. We do not wish to be involved with reports which "sit upon shelves" and suggestions that are not implementable. 9. TCG would give the project the highest priority. 10. TCG is committed to professional excellence at reasonable cost. Based on the preliminary conversations, the preliminary reconnaissance of Sunny Isles Beach, and our previous experiences, TCG believes that four tasks would be of great assistance in gaining an increased knowledge of the current conditions and circumstances likely to impact future economic and housing growth in Sunny Isle. The four tasks proposed to be performed by and through The Chesapeake Group, in partnership with the City and organized business group in Sunny Isles Beach, follow. • -• ••- • Ma A survey of the owners or management of retail and related service operations within Sunny Isle will be conducted by TCG. Direct mail, with self-addressed, stamped return envelopes, will be the method of sampling employed. The mailings will employ software based on "Yellow Page" listings, unless other appropriate and accurate files are furnished by the City. 2
