COUnuill \omtln August 16, 2011 Pam Thompson, Procurement Manager City of Miami Gardens Procurement Department 1515 NW 167th Street, Building 7, Suite 440 Miami Gardens, FL 33169 Subject: The Weitz Company, LLC Dear Ms. Thompson: This correspondence may serve as our recommendation for The Weitz Company. In 2009, Wellington solicited proposals for design -build teams for its new city hall. Many firms submitted proposals and after a detailed and lengthy presentation and review process, The Weitz Company was ranked number one and awarded the contract for the 10.5 million dollar project. In the following months, the Weitz team brought all its resources to bear and in the end delivered the project under its original bid price and ahead of schedule. Wellington moved into its new city hall, the jewel in the crown of its new Town Center, at the end of 2010, and celebrated the new year in its new city hall. The Weitz team worked as an extension of our staff and always made project recommendations in the best interest of the project and Wellington. Our city hall project reflected a substantial investment in the community and reflected civic pride and community engagement. The Weitz team always delivered on its commitments and more importantly, always worked in partnership with Wellington. Proving its versatility and commitment to quality service, Weitz again is delivering on another project for Wellington. Ranked number one out of thirteen firms for an indefinite quantity - indefinite delivery construction manager at risk contract, Weitz was selected as the contractor for Wellington's Patriot Memorial project utilizing the construction manager at risk delivery method. The project will be delivered on time and under the contracted guaranteed maximum price of $485,000. While a small contract, the Weitz team demonstrated its flexibility, innovation, and customer service on this project which involved much media attention, political sensitivity, and a compressed schedule. Working in partnership with Wellington, the Weitz team played a critical role in the value analysis and constructability review that reduced project costs by almost 50 %. The foregoing projects are representative of Weitz's experience with Wellington and demonstrate the scope and breadth of their expertise. Regardless of the project's size, value, or scope, the Weitz team understands the importance of every project for an owner. We wholeheartedly recommend them for your project.
