REASONS: On March 1, 2024, the city issued a Letter of Interest titled: LOI # 24-03-24 Cafe Design -Build, Lease and Operations at 18050 Collins Avenue (Government Annex).

The following process was taken: • LOI was released and distributed to city's social media, DemandStar and the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association (FRLA) database of Miami -Dade Restaurants. • On March 8, 2024 the city held a non -mandatory site-visit/pre-proposal conference at the Government Annex for interested firms to ask any questions. • The city created an evaluation committee meeting, which consisted of three city staff members, with expertise in Finance, Marketing and Code Compliance Requirements. • On Friday, March 15th, five (5) firms responded to the LOI: HZIP, Negroni, Roasters N' Toasters, Item Number: 10.0 51
