<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 11 <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />RFP No. 19-02-01 <br />March 4, 2019 <br />• Legislative Representation. We have decades of experience in lobbying the Florida <br />Legislature and state agencies, both offensively and defensively, on behalf of public and <br />private entities. Many of our public law attorneys began their careers as staff to the Florida <br />Legislature, Governor's Office and State agencies, providing our clients with a unique <br />perspective on the most efficient means of meeting their legislative goals. We maintain close <br />relationships with local delegations and political leadership. <br /> <br />• Procurement. We provide legal counsel relating to all aspects of procurement, including <br />assistance in the preparation of bids, RFP's and proposals; contract negotiation; bid <br />protests; appellate review and contract disputes. <br /> <br />• Public Finance and Taxation. With respect to public finance and taxation, we have <br />represented issuers and underwriters in a variety of local government financings, including <br />dependent and independent special districts. <br /> <br />The Firm developed these skills initially while serving as the Orange County Attorney during the 70s <br />and 80s. Since that time, the Firm has represented governments, businesses and individuals in <br />thousands of federal, state and local matters. <br /> <br />Technical Approach <br /> <br />As mentioned, GrayRobinson will implement a team approach designed to maximize communication and <br />responsiveness without over-staffing. As your primary point of contact, Tom Loffredo will handle oversight <br />of the work done for the City of Sunny Isles Beach and will ensure the overall delivery of satisfaction and <br />value. <br /> <br />To the extent a legal matter might require the assistance of other GrayRobinson team members listed in <br />this Response, we believe our team approach will allow us to accomplish three critical objectives in <br />representing the County: (1) provide quality legal services; (2) maintain the flexibility necessary to respond <br />to problems swiftly and thoroughly; and (3) facilitate communication and accountability. To assure this, <br />before any new work is undertaken, workloads and schedules of all attorneys and support staff on our team <br />are reviewed. GrayRobinson believes in the quality of the work we produce, not the quantity. We are <br />committed to the quality representation of each of our clients and can assure the City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />of our availability as well as accessibility to timely address your needs. <br /> <br />In addition to the team’s own expertise, Tom will have the ability to call upon the vast experience and <br />qualifications of all GrayRobinson attorneys and consultants. The attorney members of the team come from <br />various professional backgrounds, including government, private industry, and law firms. Accordingly, there <br />is no legal matter which GrayRobinson would not be able to handle on behalf of the County. <br /> <br />Quality, Value & Cost Control <br /> <br />GrayRobinson leverages the latest advances in e-mail, audio, web and video conferencing, intranet and <br />extranet technologies allowing us to work as one legal team with instantaneous access to vital data and <br />documents. We extend this same “virtual office” environment to the City - giving you access to your legal <br />team and the information you need from any location in the world. The GrayRobinson Extranet provides <br />designated clients secure access to matter-specific documents. The Extranet allows our attorneys and <br />clients the opportunity to communicate and collaborate in a secure environment.
