City Manager Conner gave an overview of the project noting that it is temporarily being called Gateway Park. This project is to construct an lifestyle facility on the property bounded by the eastbound and westbound lanes of Sunny Isles Boulevard from Collins A venue on the east end to the Public Storage Building on the west end. Currently there are strip centers there, and we are winding down the leases on those properties that the City owns and we will soon take over control of them. The concept here is to give us a proposal that shows you constructing for the City approximately a 350-space parking garage on the western portion of this property. The eastern portion will be leased on a 99-year lease to the proposer and the proposer will be responsible for the construction of a lifestyle center, meeting our general requirements. We will lease the land in which we have a $10 Million investment and we want to recoup that money with a lease valued at somewhere around $320,000 a year. The Parking Garage will be multi-leveled, and we intend to put about 19,000 to 20,000 square feet of retail space on the southern side running east to west. We will decide how we want to finalize that part of the process as we get into the negotiations, we may operate it, we may hire a general manager to operate it, or we may sell it as condo space for retail development. There will be retail space required in the lifestyle center on the eastern side, which is defined in the RFP as well. This will be the proposer's opportunity to develop that as they see fit within the developed standards. City Manager Conner opened the meeting to questions from the prospective bidders.
