SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE
VIRGINIA KEY
HARBOUR & MARINE CENTER
3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(a) The Proposer
Virginia Key, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company, (VKLLC
or the Proposer), the VKLLC, submits this response to the Virginia
Key Marina RFP NO. 16-17-011 (the RFP) for the creation
of the Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center to capitalize
on the sites underutilized but prime waterfront location as
an ideal place to centralize and expand Miamis access to
the waterfront and boating activity. (Response). Virginia
Key LLC is a joint venture of the RCI group ( RCI),
who principals are Robert W. Christoph and Robert
W. Christoph, Jr. and Suntex Marinas (Suntex)
whose principals are Bryan Redmond, Chris Petty,
David Filler and John Powers.
(b) Overall Experience and Qualifications
These two companies are the largest and most sophisticated
waterfront and marina developers, operators, and owners in the
country. Together RCI Group and Suntex Marinas bring more than
150 years of combined experience in redeveloping, operating and
managing public and private, multi-use marina locations in urban
areas throughout the East Coast and the Mid-West. The combined
value of the marina and upland real estate assets owned and or
operated by RCI and Suntex approaches $1 Billion. Together
they own and/or operate 17 marinas in Florida alone
with a combined total of 2148 wet slips and 1480 dry
storage slips. Ten of these facilities are located in South Florida
stretching from Palm Beach to Homestead. Nationwide their
existing combined portfolios expand to 47 marinas with 12,416
wet slips and 5072 dry storage slips in 15 states as illustrated on
the map below.
RCI Group is widely regarded as a leader on the Eastern
Seaboard of the United States for providing a full, first class
array of real estate services and specializes in creating unique,
multidimensional, marine related, mixed use waterfront
developments. RCI Group also possesses significant experience in
revitalizing major underdeveloped areas that are both publically
and privately owned. RCI Group currently owns and operates
three marinas in Florida, including Miami Beach Marina and the
Bahia Mar Yachting Center in Ft Lauderdale. With over fifty years
of experience in property development and management, RCI
is ready to continue making its mark on the marine industry and
to redevelop this uniquely situated Property into a more vibrant
recreational marina and premiere waterfront restaurant destination.
Suntex is a leading owner, operator and developer of high-quality
coastal and inland marina properties located throughout the
United States. Suntex and its predecessor companies have been
in the marina business since 1995. Currently, Suntex owns and /or
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
operates 43 marinas containing approximately 15,120 boat slips
with a current estimated value of $600 Million including 14 marinas
in Florida. Suntex is led by a management team with over 100
years combined experience investing in, acquiring and operating
marinas. Suntex currently employs 60 people in its corporate office
and approximately 1200 on-site at its marinas in peak seasons.
(c) Financials & Proposed Revenues
In just the first 15 years of the Lease VKLLC projects it will
pay the City $60,479,022 in rent plus approximately
$5,962,971 in property taxes. Over the life of the
Lease, VKLLC projects that it will pay the City more
than $909,391,991 in rent. In addition, it will pay
$88,340,602 more in property taxes to the City
for a combined direct financial benefit to the City of
$999,732,593 -- a Billion dollars!
The VKLLC will invest more than $80 million in the creation of this
world class facility for the City. This substantial capital investment
will provide the largest return to the City through maximizing the
creation of a total of 162 wet slips and 750 dry slips. The slip mix
has also been designed to include approximately 94 wet slips for
yachts 60 feet and larger, the most underserved part of the marine
community today. These large slips will enhance the revenue
generation potential for the City and the dry storage facility will be
able to handle vessels up to 60 feet in length. Therefore the VKLLC
Project is designed to serve all segments of the boating community
further enhancing the revenue potential of the Property.
The VKLLC will pay the City its requested annual guaranteed
minimum base rent of $2,150,000 (Base Rent). Furthermore,
VKLLC proposes to increase the base rent annually after the first
anniversary by not less than 3% of the previous years
Base Rent, or an increase based on the amount indicated by
the Consumer Price Index as of (3) months prior to the beginning
of the applicable adjustment date up to a maximum of 5%. This
base rent is greater than the minimum rent required by
the RFP.
In addition, the VKLLC will pay a Percentage Rent of gross revenues
equal to (6%) of wet slip and dry storage operations,
(6%) of fuel sales, and (6%) sublease income or other
income received from the use of the Property, and any other
proposed lease payments. This exceeds the minimum
percentage rent required by the RFP. Furthermore, the
VKLLC commits to adhere to the City Charter requirement to pay
the City not less than fair market value for the lease.
Due to the size of the VKLLCs investment and the resulting project
program that is designed to enhance the Citys revenue potential,
Page 1
3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
the combined rents paid to the City are projected to grow from
initial payments of $2,588,000 in year 1, to $ 3,930,112 in year
6, the first year of stabilized operation; to $4,392,980 in year 10;
to $ 5,054,707 in year 15 and $5,859,791 in year 20.
(d) Design & Operational Plan
The Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center has been
planned and designed to meet and exceed all of the
requirements of the RFP and to be consistent with
the Virginia Key Master Plan principles. The VKLLC
Project will be developed into a world class, state-of-the-art,
mixed-use waterfront marine center. The VKLLC has assembled
a remarkable Project Team for this Project. The Project Team is
led by world renowned, design firm Arquitectonica, which has
its corporate headquarters in Miami. As shown on the plans,
the Project is designed to be resilient, sustainable,
environmentally sensitive and green. The Project
will create a Marina Village inspired image compatible
with the adjacent Marine Stadium yet with a modern
waterfront aesthetic. By avoiding the typical sea of parking
associated with traditional marinas, the Projects design will create
a new standard of excellence for marine facilities in Miami-Dade
County (County), Florida and beyond. Virginia Key Harbour &
Marine Center will become a true user friendly marine center for
all segments of the public and the boating community. As part
of its sustainable and green design the world class
design team has been coupled with the most state-of-
the-art flexible and efficient Aero-Docks automated
dry storage system. The user experience will be enhanced by
the automated process of storing vessels, and these operations will
create a unique and fascinating marine-oriented spectacle that can
be appreciated by customers and public users alike. Importantly,
the design and automated systems will facilitate the creation
of thousands of feet of uninterrupted public baywalk along the
entire waterfront by eliminating the need to interrupt the shoreline
with dry stack launch facilities - something that has never been
achieved before.
In addition, VKLLC will provide all of the required parking
for the Project and the citys obligation to the Rusty
Pelican, utilizing only the contributions from the Rusty Pelican
instead of requiring a substantial public investment by the Miami
Parking Authority (MPA). This is approach is made possible
by an innovative sustainable and resilient design that
raises the dry storage facility not only above FEMA 100
year base flood elevation, but the design accounts for
projected sea level rise and the associated higher storm
surge elevations. This resilient design approach allows
for the creation of two full layers of parking under the
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
storage facility will begin at an elevation of 20+ feet
above sea level, while keeping the design height of
approximately 65 feet--below the height of the adjacent
Historic Marine Stadium. Perhaps as importantly, this design
eliminates the need for a six-story parking garage intruding along
the Rickenbacker Causeway.
We look forward to working with the City and the Rusty Pelican in
the planning and specifications for the parking facilities. Our Team
will work diligently with the MPA and the City to insure that parking
is available to the public as required in the RFP. We acknowledge
that the city will own the parking facilities and the MPA will be
responsible for the management and supervision of the parking
facilities. We look forward to working with the City and the MPA
to establish an appropriate parking program that will respect
the requirements of the RFP and the Leases while responding to
the needs of the tenants and users of the project. Our goal is to
provide free parking to all of our patrons, subject to the conditions
mentioned above and reaching an appropriate agreement with
the MPA and the City. As free parking has been a normal part of
all successful marina/restaurant/retail facilities in the City and in
Miami-Dade County.
The Project Team has designed and will renovate, develop, lease,
manage, and operate a true mixed-use resilient and sustainable
waterfront facility that will include, complete renovation and
replacement of the existing wet slip marina, boat services, a dock
masters office, a ships store, dry storage, launching docks, fuel
stations, two restaurants and approximately 30,000 SF of small
scale marine-related retail/commercial space. VKLLC and its
members have consistently excelled at transforming government-
owned marine facilities into modern, world class facilities using
state-of-the-art technology and premium design that is harmonious
with the setting and geographical location of the facilities. VKLLC is
committed to protecting the environmental assets and history of the
site. Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center will be no different.
VKLLC and its members and principals have a successful track
record in developing and operating facilities that offer an array of
recreational waterfront amenities and waterfront programming that
respond to and attract all of the varied segments and stake holders
of the local, regional, and visitor population. With extensive
experience in developing and operating all of the required and
proposed uses of the Project, VKLLC will bring its combined
extraordinary expertise to bear in developing and operating the
Project for the City.
(e) Resiliency and Environmental Considerations
The VKLLC Project Team has designed Virginia Key Harbour &
Marine Center to be resilient and sustainable. Among the many
Page 2
3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
such elements and strategies incorporated into the design are
summarized as follows:
i. Continued operation during minor storms and
future king tides which are expected to be 4
above sea level in 30 years:
a. All access, parking, and boating activities operate at 6
above sea level.
b. Critical access points are located at 6 above sea level.
c. Green infrastructure components such as storm-water
retention areas are designed to handle and treat
stormwater will not be reliant on outfalls to the bay.
d. All planting on-site will be salt tolerant including tolerance
for limited periods of inundation.
e. All docks and wet-slips are designed to withstand
Category 3 storms.
f. On-site back-up power will allow continued operation
during power outages.
g. On-site solar power will minimize reliance on generators.
ii. Rapid recovery from storm-surge flooding
(100-year surges expected at 11 above sea
level in 2 years):
a. Entire ground floor of the dry storage building and
adjacent restaurants allow flood water to flow through
and around structures in accordance with FEMA coastal
construction guidelines.
b. All new retail floors and infrastructure in the dry storage
building will be at 12 above existing sea level.
c. With minimal installation of flood barriers, all dry storage
building and restaurant construction is protected to 15.5
above sea level
d. Dry Storage boat handling equipment is 20+ above sea
level
e. Restaurant is 17 above sea level.
f. Vertical boat launching facilities minimize infrastructure
vulnerable to flooding.
g. Site is designed to channel storm-water runoff to low-lying
wetlands for proper treatment.
VKLLC is aware of the impact each individual project
and building has on the environment and is committed
to do its part to contribute to a cleaner environment
and to protect and enhance the waterfront and existing
environmental resources on site. The VKLLC Project Team is
experienced with green design strategies and LEED requirements
and will utilize them to guide the development process by meeting
or exceeding LEED ratings and simply emphasizing Green
Awareness at the site.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
VKLLC will advance the state of the art in sustainable marina design
at Virginia Key Harbour and Marine Center, through an integrated
design approach, sustainability and environmental enhancement
has been and will be a key consideration throughout the design
process, with all elements considered as part of broader systems
that work together to take best advantage of all opportunities.
Particular environmentally sensitive and sustainable design systems
will include:
iii. Water Efficiency
Planting will require little or no irrigation after establishment,
(vines on facades may require irrigation
High efficiency plumbing fixtures will reduce water use.
Cisterns will capture rainwater for re-use in boat rinsing and
irrigation.
Boat rinsing collection systems in the dry storage building will
treat and be equipped with storage tanks for re-use in the
rinsing system
Smart metering will be installed in domestic water services
on utility pedestals in the wet slips to facilitate water leakage
detection.
iv. Building Environmental Strategies
1. Energy
Energy-star appliances, high efficiency lighting, and air-
conditioning will reduce demand
Electric boat storage elevators are extremely efficient
compared to alternative systems
Rooftop solar will produce up to 2.3 mWh of electricity, likely
exceeding demand for the entire site
Building circulation is exterior to minimize air-conditioned
volume
Extensive overhangs will shade buildings, pedestrians, and
diners
2. Building Materials
Locally obtained materials will make up the bulk of
construction materials
Buildings will be constructed for long-term durability
Green walls consisting of low-maintenance vines will screen
facades from heat and wind driven rain
Site work cut and fill will be balanced to minimize movement
of material
Construction waste will be managed and recycled
3. Indoor Environment
Operable windows will allow air circulation
Shallow buildings and tall windows allow daylight into all
interior spaces
Page 3
3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Natural ventilation will control climate in the garage and dry
storage facility
Specifics about rooftop resources
4. Rooftop Solar Potential
The Project is planned to accommodate solar panels, and the
following is a summary of this approach:
4,933 industry standard 77 x 39 340 watt PV Panels.
1,412 kWh output, (1,677 kWh - 12.3% system loss (96%
inverter efficiency).
5.27 Solar hours/ day average.
2.3 mWh Annual Production1.
Potential output would likely greatly exceed building
demand2.
Equivalent to 180+ households per FPL numbers.
1 Numbers confirmed by Dustin Thayer of Sunconnect
USA (Naples, FL) and Scott McIntyre of Solar Energy
Management, (St. Petersburg, FL).
2 VKLLC is evaluating the potential for and economic
feasibility of solar power but the final determination will
depend upon Florida Power and Lights cooperation
receptiveness to the installation.
5. Rooftop Rainwater Collection Potential
The roof will be designed to collect runoff into roof leaders for
discharge into cistern(s). The following is a summary of this
approach:
188,990 sq ft of roof x 90% collection efficiency x 58.97
median annual rainfall = 6,255,138 Gallons.
Total water collected and used will depend on demand1:
- Boat rinsing will be the primary use.
- Make-up water for cooling towers/chillers.
- Irrigation.
- Flushing of toilets.
Mangroves and other native trees will be preserved on-site.
1 Storage capacity related to demand will determine how
much of the total will be utilized.
v. Florida Clean Marina Program Compliance
Additionally, design of the marina facilities will incorporate
strategies to achieve Florida Clean Marine Program designation.
The operational staff at Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center
will monitor the activities of boaters in and around the boat basin,
and provide clear expectations in terms of safe boat handling
and boater requirements necessary to comply with Florida Clean
Marina requirements, such as boat maintenance procedures, no
dumping requirements, etc.
Virginia Key Marina
(f) Public Benefits and Local Participation
In addition to financial and aesthetic improvements and in
response to the groundwork created by the Virginia Key Master
Plan, the Project will return and enhance public access to the
waterfront.Where there is virtually no public access
today, approximately 2,600 linear feet of continuous,
landscaped baywalk will hug the waters edge for
pedestrians, runners and bikers, becoming the Projects
primary and largest amenity.
The baywalk will enhance connectivity to the planned historic
renovation of Marine Stadium along with the planned Flex Park
improvements. The Project is also designed for connectivity with
the adjacent Rickenbacker Causeway to facilitate access for
beach goers and other recreationists that utilize this waterfront
area along the causeway on a daily basis. The Rickenbacker
Causeway is heavily utilized by cycling enthusiasts, and the Project
will be designed to improve the intersections and for access to the
adjacent bike trail.
Further public benefits, include the creation of
approximately 1,280 local jobs over the life of the
project with a goal of 30% recruitment and utilization for
work to be performed by minority and disadvantaged
individuals and groups.

 VISION, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES
4. OF PROPOSED PROJECT
KEY
HARBOUR & MARINE CENTER
VIRGINIA
4. VISION, GOALS & OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT
The vision for Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center is to create a
full-service marine destination capable of meeting all of the needs
of the public that is necessary to increase public access to the
water and for a successful multi-dimensional marine experience.
This will encompass small scale marine oriented retail,
casual and upscale dining establishments, as well as a
fully renovated sustainably designed wet slip marina,
a state-of-the-art automated boat storage system, and
maintenance and repair services to serve the on- site
vessels all in keeping with the Virginia Key Master Plan
Policies. The Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center will address
the needs of all sectors of the boating public including the rowing,
paddling and boating communities. As it has done in the past in
other locations, VKLLC will take this centrally-located, gateway
property, and add architectural and technological improvements
that will make the Property the home of City boaters and make
it the marine capital of Miami-Dade County. VKLLC respects the
distinguished natural and cultural history of Virginia Key and will
use the redevelopment of the Property as a tool to provide the
public continuous waterfront access and a better way to engage
with the site and its history, thus preserving and opening up public
use of the water and waterfront for future generations.
Through its development of the Project, VKLLC will stimulate
widespread interest in this underutilized, but highly valuable
waterfront property with compatible uses that will maximize site
utilization and generate significant financial returns for the City.
Importantly, the VKLLC Project will return and enhance public
access to the waterfront over thousands of linear feet of public
baywalk, where there is almost no public access today, even
though the lands are publically owned.
(a) Goals and Objectives
1. Establish the Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center as
an economic and recreational center that offers diverse
groups of people and marine users quality boating and
waterfront and marine-related experiences.
2. Develop a pedestrian-friendly campus with direct
access to extensive baywalk systems and an atmosphere
and uses that encourage a vast array of activities
accommodating the needs of the numerous different
stakeholders and users during the day and after working
hours with the Virginia Key Master Plan as a guideline for
the improvements.
3. Provide a safe, sustainable, and accessible Baywalk
and open areas for the public.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
4. Attract marine professionals and boating enthusiasts,
including paddlers and rowers to the City and encourage
new marine-related businesses to relocate to the City.
5. Invest sufficient capital to efficiently develop and
manage the modernization and complete renovation
of the existing marina in the water and new state of the
art automated dry stack storage to replace the existing
outmoded and inadequate facilities in order to help
secure its place as a world-class facility and one of the
premiere marine facilities in South Florida. To increase
financial return to the City, improve revenue-producing
capacity of facilities; ensure that any proposed ancillary
or complementary uses further enhance the destination
market appeal; and overall utilize the available Property
to maximize its economic potential now and in the future.
6. Sustain and revitalize a historic, underutilized waterfront
site and maximize its potential and to preserve critical
and sensitive wildlife areas. Make the Project resilient and
sustainable relative to projected sea level rise, predicted
storm surges and to be able to respond to boating
industry changes over the life of the project. Meet or
exceed all industry standards for sustainability through
LEED inspired Green Design initiatives. Explore and
wherever feasible incorporate the use of solar power
and generation for project needs and potentially other
city users on Virginia Key.
7. Create and market a more positive image of Virginia Key
and the Property in order to attract outside investment,
enhance the Citys waterfront potential, provide more
jobs, and expand the publics access to this remarkable
location.
8. Inspire the increased use of waterfront and participation
in marine-related activities by all segments of the
population.
In keeping with the RFP and the Virginia Key Master Plan the VKLLC
Project will improve the economic potential of the existing Property
and increase the financial return to the City by improving the revenue
producing capacity of the marina and dry stack, restaurant, water-
related retail and ships store facilities and bringing the public to the
site to enjoy its many attributes.
Page 7
4. VISION, GOALS & OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT

The objective is to use the innovative design and technological

features of the Project to transform the routine process of storing
vessels into a unique marine-oriented experience that can be
appreciated by customers and the public alike, and transform an
underutilized waterfront site into an iconic destination. VKLLC will
provide premium services on site that increase the efficiency of the
marinas operations and revenue generating capabilities.

VKLLC will convert the Property into a unified and integrated

campus, including working with the Rusty Pelican and the City,
to create a site where the marinas seamlessly interact with the
restaurants, retail, office, and active public uses. By improving
the marina, restaurant, and ancillary waterfront uses, in addition
to creating a continuous baywalk, VKLLC will enhance the
destination market appeal for both locals and tourists
alike. The proposed ancillary uses will complement the marine
uses for boaters, but also appeal to a broader segment of the
Miami-Dade community all in accordance with the policies of the
Virginia Key Master Plan.

5. COMMUNITY BENEFITS
(a) Benefits Received by the Public
i. Benefits Broad Set of Community Members
As shown on the attached plans and renderings in Tab VII, the
Project will return and enhance public access to the waterfront
over thousands of linear feet of public bay walk, where there is
almost no public access today even though the lands have been
publicly owned for decades. The primary and largest single
public amenity will be the continuous baywalk which
will cover approximately 2,600 linear feet. With the
Cooperation of the Rusty Pelican and the City, VKLLC will provide a
continuous, landscaped baywalk along the entire existing marina
basin and public access to the water for pedestrians as well as
facilities for bikers, paddlers and rowers. Public access will also
be provided through a newly renovated and improved public boat
ramp and floating dock that VKLLC will plan, design, permit, and
construct to the northeast of the Property and west of the Miami
Marine Stadium.
The baywalk will be well-lit with high-efficiency fixtures that provide
safe lighting levels without obstructing pedestrian views, providing
the public with access and vistas of the spectacular waterfront and
downtown Miami skyline. The baywalk will provide a continuity
of public access connecting to upland restaurants, retail stores,
and parking, and providing uninterrupted pedestrian circulation
and recreation though out the Property. This public baywalk will
enhance connectivity to the adjacent Marine Stadium and planned
Flex Park.
The Project will be a state-of-the-art marine facility
unlike anything that is offered in the Miami-Dade or
even the Florida market. The Proposed Project will provide
a full-service, conveniently located and expertly operated marine
destination that is capable of providing the general public and boat
owners and all segments of the boating public complete access to
Biscayne Bay and beyond. Boaters and visitors will be able to meet
and enjoy all the necessary requirements that ensure a complete,
satisfying waterfront experience.
The Projects design will enhance pedestrian and civic life and
increase the overall public benefit derived from the Property. From
a boaters perspective, the state-of-the-art design of the dry stack
storage facility will provide safe and ample storage and staging
areas and a user-friendly lift system that functions with ease and
efficiency. VKLLC will even provide a user app for smart phones so
that boaters can schedule their launch times in advance to minimize
delays and queuing both upon launch and return.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
ii. Benefits Directly Respond to Needs Affirmed by
Community in Public Forums
The Project directly responds to the needs affirmed by
the community in public forums by consistently and
substantially adhering to the Virginia Key Master Plan
principles and goals. VKLLC has already engaged in dialogs
with the rowing and paddling communities and will continue to do
so through project permitting and final design and implementation.
The VKLLC Project has been specifically designed to minimize
interference with the existing rowing and paddling activities in the
historic Marine Stadium Basin by providing marked channels for
entrance and exit to the basin and launch facilities for the dry stack
users and others. Dry stack launch/retrieval operations will be in the
existing staging area currently utilized by Marine Stadium Marina.
In fact, the launch facility docks located along the shoreline of the
basin and the elevated baywalk sections will provide wonderful
viewing areas to watch the paddling and rowing events that
have never existed before. The retail mix is intended to include
retailers that serve the paddling, sailing and rowing communities
conveniently located near the eastern end of the property closest
to the boat ramp and the eastern side of the staging floating docks
to facilitate their access to the water in the safest location possible.
The VKLLC Project directly responds to the needs affirmed by
the community in public forums by incorporating environmental
considerations into the Project design listed in subsection C I below.
The VKLLC Project directly responds to the needs affirmed by
the community in public forums by incorporating resiliency and
sustainability considerations listed in Subsection C ii below.
iii. Benefits Offered that Have Significant
Financial Value
The VKLLC Project includes numerous significant public benefits
that will be designed, permitted and constructed by VKLLC at
its sole cost and expense among these is: 2600+ foot long the
continuous baywalk at an estimated cost of more than $1.7 M;
the incorporation of resiliency measures to ensure the
long viability of the Project, including but not limited
to, raising the all of the retail restaurant and office uses
above projected flood levels based upon sea level rise;
and further raising the entire dry boat storage above
even the projected storm surge levels by placing the
facility at 20+ feet above sea level; the use of salt tolerant
native species; the intended incorporation of Solar panels that
have the potential to save millions of dollars over the life of the
project. Last but certainly not least, VKLLC has projected that it will
pay the City combined rent and real estate taxes of $66,434,993
Page 9
5. COMMUNITY BENEFITS
in just the first 15 years and $999,732,593 -- a billion dollars over
the life of the Lease.
iv. Benefits Offered Long-Term
Each of the benefits listed above and below provides long term
benefits to the City and the public over the entire 75 year life of
the Project.
(b) Participation of Firms and Contractors
that Maintain a Local Office
i. Firm Maintains an Active and Established Local
Office
VKLLCs principals each have direct long term ties to
and operations in Miami-Dade County and the City of
Miami. The Christophs currently own and operate the River Cove
Marina on the Miami River and maintain the office at that location.
For more than 10 years they owned the leasehold from the City and
operated Bayshore Landing in Coconut Grove including owning
and operating the Montys In the Grove restaurant. During their
ownership they invested heavily in and completely renovated and
repositioned the property taking it from a non-performing asset to
a highly successful property. In anticipation, of and preparation for
responding to the Virginia Key RFPs they sold the leasehold in 2015.
Similarly, David Filler, one of Suntexs principals, is a long time City
of Miami Resident having lived on Biscayne Island since 2001.
The principals of VKLLC are excited at the prospect of re-opening a
new office in the City on Virginia Key as soon as they are selected
and gain access to the Property.
The lead consultant for VKLLC is Arquitectonica, and this firm has
its world headquarters in the City of Miami. The firms founding
principals, Bernardo Fort Brescia and Laurinda Spears, are City
residents. An extensive portion of the planning and design work for
this Project will be completed at their Miami office by local staff.
The lead engineering consultant for VKLLC, Moffatt & Nichol, has
an established office in the City of Miami. Ms. Christy Brush is a
resident of the City, and similar to Arquitectonica, an extensive
amount of the environmental permitting and engineering design for
the Project will be completed by staff based in their Miami office.
Legal support for VKLLC will be provided by Bilzin Sumberg with
their established office on Brickell Avenue in the City.
ii. Firm has Committed to Hire a Majority of City
Residents and/or City Contractors
VKLLC has committed to comply with the terms of the RFP for
local workforce participation. VKLLC will include a minimum of
forty percent (40%) local workforce from Miami-Dade County,
of which twenty-five percent (25%) must be City residents, for the
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
construction of the Project. In the event that VKLLC cannot meet
the required twenty-five percent (25%) of workforce from City
residents, VKLLC will document and demonstrate to the City that it
utilized best efforts to achieve this goal. Upon direction from the
City, VKLLC will achieve the portion of the percentage not met from
the City, through Miami-Dade County residents. VKLLC will have a
third party independently verify and certify compliance with these
requirements on a monthly basis. VKLLC intends to contract with
Evonne Garth and Garth Solutions who and is properly licensed
under the provisions of Florida Statute Chapter 454, 471, 473,
or 481, and has a minimum of two (2) years of prior professional
experience in contract compliance, auditing, personnel
administration, or field experience in payroll enforcement or
investigative environment. The cost of this verification/certification
is included in the related contract costs.
iii. Hiring of Minority and Disadvantaged Groups
The Project program contains a very strong commitment to the goal
of 30% recruitment and utilization for the overall project costs for
work to be performed by minority and disadvantaged individuals
and groups. Yvonne Garth of Garth Solutions has extensive
experience providing recruitment and training to assist in achieving
these goals. Through extensive studies of jobs created as a result
of marina and mixed use developments based on our experience,
and through extensive studies based upon independent economic
analysis from consultants including Dr. Michael Evans, PHD from
Boca Raton, FL who is an expert in job and economic forecasting
of mixed use projects including marinas similar to what we are
proposing at the Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center, VKLLC
expects this project would result in the creation of the following jobs
throughout the life of the Project:
MARINA RESTAURANT TOTAL JOBS
CONSTRUCTION 460 123 483
DIRECT 134 232 366
INDIRECT 158 173 331
TOTAL JOBS 752 528 1,280
iv. Responsible Wages/Living Wages
VKLLC has committed to comply with Section 18-120 of the City
Code, titled Responsible Wage Construction Contracts, to the
extent applicable to any development on City owned property.
Additionally, VKLLC has committed to comply with Section 18-
556, et. Seq. of the City Code, titled Living Wages, to the extent
applicable.

surges expected at 11 above sea level in 2 years):
a. Entire ground floor of dry storage facilities and
restaurants allow water to flow through and around
structures.
b. All new retail floors and infrastructure in the dry storage
facility will be at 12 above existing sea level.
c. With minimal installation of flood barriers, all dry storage
facility and restaurant construction is protected to 15.5
above sea level.
d. Dry Storage boat handling equipment is 20+ above sea
level.

Virginia Key Marina
ii. Incorporation of Green Design and Natural/
Native Elements
The VKLLC Project Team is aware of the impact each
individual project and building has on the environment
and is committed to do its part to contribute to a cleaner
environment and to protect and enhance the waterfront
and existing environmental resources on site. The VKLLC
Project Team is experienced with green design strategies and LEED
requirements and will utilize them to guide the development process
by meeting or exceeding LEED ratings and simply emphasizing
Green Awareness at the site.
VKLLC will advance the state of the art in sustainable marina design
at Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center, through an integrated
design approach, sustainability and environmental enhancement
has been and will be a key consideration throughout the design
process, with all elements considered as part of broader systems
that work together to take best advantage of all opportunities.
Particular sustainable design systems may include:
Mangroves and other native trees will be preserved on-site.
Native planting palette based on the restoration work
performed elsewhere on Virginia Key.
Plants will be grouped by communities based on specific
ecosystems appropriate to Virginia Key including, Tidal
wetlands, Coastal Strands, and Maritime Hammocks.
Plant communities will be salt tolerant and tolerant to
periodic inundation.
Building facades will be covered by vines on trellises which
will shade and protect the buildings without relying on water
and fertilizer intensive green wall systems.
Similarities in planting will tie the natural areas of Virginia
Key to the marina village via a unified palette of plants.
Planted areas will soak up and utilize storm-water as part of
an overall strategy of green infrastructure.
Living shorelines will dampen waves while creating aquatic
and upland habitat.
No potable water will be used for irrigation.
The baywalk will be lined with shade trees.
LED site lighting will minimize light spill and energy
consumption.
Boat elevator launch system will allow safe continuous
pedestrian passage during operation.
High efficiency mechanical systems will be used and the dry
storage building and parking lot will be naturally ventilated.
Innovative structural materials and finishes will be used
where feasible.

5. COMMUNITY BENEFITS

Green infrastructure components such as storm-water

retention areas process and drain water on-site.
Photovoltaic Panels - We are exploring the use of a grid
connected photovoltaic system on the Dry storage roof to
generate power to operate the office and restrooms and
other facilities. Initial estimates show that the site may be
able to generate as much as 2.3 mWh per year which is
enough to power for 180 homes.
Water conserving fixtures and Energy Star appliances will
be used throughout the facility.
Where feasible and appropriate we will source materials
within the Project and demonstrate a preference for using
recycled or repurposed materials.
Wi-Fi - Systems eliminate wasteful hardwired facilities and
services offered can be seamlessly upgraded with minimal
infrastructure impacts and add enhanced guest Wi-Fi
services.
Individual Metering - Water and Electrical services to slips
will be individually metered and billed to slip holders,
encouraging conservation.

(d) Florida Clean Marina Program Compliance

Additionally, design of the marina facilities will incorporate
strategies to achieve Florida Clean Marina Program designation.
The operational staff at Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center
Marina will monitor the activities of boaters in and around the
boat basin, and provide clear expectations in terms of safe boat
handling and boater requirements necessary to comply with
Florida Clean Marina requirements, such as boat maintenance
procedures, no dumping requirements. . Sewage pump-out
facilities will be provided for the dry stack marina customers,
and sewage pump-out will be provided for the wet slips as well
as with stations at the fuel dock. The Project will be designed with
a stormwater management system complying with South Florida
Water Management requirements for the collection of runoff and
treatment for water quality.

SCHEDULE
REDEVELOPMENT
6. REDEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
Construction of the Project will occur over a period of
12-48 months in three phases to allow for the maximum
continued use and revenue generation from the Project.
This phasing approach afford time for the various permitting
processes required for development of the Project, and will allow
incremental development of the Project over time and in response
to market demands.
Given the VKLLCs Project Teams extensive experience in the
permitting and development of first-class marine facilities, it
understands better than other proposers the time required for the
permitting for the site and infrastructure improvements needed
to redevelop the marinas at Virginia Key as well as the nuances
that can minimize mistakes and save time. The ultimate goal is
to develop the Project in an efficient and economical manner so
that the revenue generating elements of the Project that currently
exist can continue to operate on portions of the Property during
construction and the new facilities can be phased in and be
operating as soon as possible.
The attached renovation/redevelopment schedules for the
leasehold improvements take into account the commencement
and completion dates required by the RFP and City Charter and
delineate the renovation or redevelopment of each component.
(a) Land Use and Zoning Approvals
The Propertys current land use designation is Parks and Recreation
and the zoning designation is Civic Space. With these designations,
development of the proposed Project will require collaboration
with the City to determine the most timely and effective way ensure
compliance with all applicable land use and zoning regulations.
The City has committed to amending the CS zoning and related
land use regulations to ensure the required redevelopment program
in the RFP is permitted under the applicable land use and zoning
regulations. Indeed, the first of such actions began the hearing
process on May 17, 2017.
As the RFP property is City owned and State-deeded property
and potentially County owned submerged lands VKLLC assumes
that the City will cooperate with VKLLC to obtain all necessary
approvals and waivers needed from the City, County and the State
as it is the Property owner.
As noted in the RFP there is a Declaration of Restrictions that may
require Miami-Dade County Commission approval of the site plan
also. VKLLC is assuming that County approval will be required and
have allocated additional time in the development schedule for the
City to gain this approval.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
(b) Phasing Schedule
The Project will be developed in accordance with the attached
Phasing Schedule, provided as noted in the RFP the VKLLC Team
is not prevented or delayed due to acts of God, natural disasters,
catastrophic events, preemption in a local, state or national
emergency; unavailability of labor or materials national or other
events beyond the reasonable control of VKLLC enactment of a law,
rule or regulation or a change in existing laws, rules or regulations
which prevents the ability to perform; actions by other persons
beyond the reasonable control of the VKLLC Team; lawsuits or
other challenges seeking to stop, hinder or delay development or
construction of all or any portion of the Project; or the inability to
obtain or delays in obtaining governmental permits or approvals
(each, a Force Majeure Event). As noted in the RFP, the City will
address potential extensions of time should there be an occurrence
of a Force Majeure Event and the resulting hindrance or delay.
The assumed starting point for the Project Development
schedule is a presumed referendum approval of the
Project and lease on November 7, 2017.
The Attached tabular and visual depiction of the phasing schedule
outlines the projected Project phasing and timing. The Project is
being proposed in phases for two important reasons: 1) to attempt
to maximize the available waterfront facilities during the permitting
and construction phases of the Project; and 2) to take into account
the timing and potential difficulty of securing all required permits for
the required marine construction including the dry storage facility.
The schedule is based upon the collective experience of the VKLLC
Project Team and best practice estimates for permitting timing for
each of the phases of the Project. Where experience shows that
portions of the Project permitting will likely take longer than other
portions, those portions have been separated out into separate
phases in order to avoid delaying the prior phases which should
be able to be permitted more quickly. All of these timeframes are
estimates that are substantially dependent upon the timeliness
of third party reviewing agencies. Each of the time frames also
assumes there are no third party challenges or interventions in the
permitting or construction processes. Any third party involvement
could change these timeframes and could lead to denial of
some permits.
Pre-application meetings with the regulatory agencies will be
conducted by the VKLLC Project Team to evaluate the proposed
Project improvements, confirm permitting strategy and to facilitate
the environmental permitting process. The Project Team will strive to
facilitate the environmental permitting in an expeditious manner to
obtain approvals for all Project Phases, but with specific emphasis
upon permitting the facilities that are replacing the existing wet
Page 13
6. REDEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
and dry storage facilities as the first phases because those impacts
already exist. According to the RFP materials there are currently
approximately 190 wet slips, although the operating permits from
the County appear to be for 200 wet slips. Similarly, from the RFP
materials it appears that there are currently approximately 648
existing dry storage slips on the Property.
(c) Project Phasing
As described below in more detail, the Project will ultimately require
environmental permits from federal, state, and local agencies.
These agencies will primarily be concerned with wet slip and
staging area components of the Project; however, the agencies will
also review the dry stack marina and other upland components
of the Project possible for cumulative impacts beyond the existing
facilities and capacities.
The VKLLC Project Team will plan and prepare environmental
permit applications as soon as the Lease becomes effective. The
Team anticipate those applications would be submitted in January
2018. It is currently expected that we will seek one permit for the
redevelopment of the existing wet slip basin and one permit for the
dry storage facility and associated launching facilities, although
we may also include phasing within those permit applications if the
review agencies believe it will expedite the ultimate construction.
i. Dry Storage
1. Dry Storage Facility - Phase I - Upland Dry Storage
Phase One and Restaurants
In order to expedite the construction of the Project, it is the VKLLC
Project Teams belief that the first phase of the dry stack building will
not require a full Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) and review
as long as that phase and permit applications do not include
modifications to the in- water launching facilities that exist on site
today. Hence, at least for an interim time frame the first phase of the
dry stack may share those launching facilities with the balance of
the exterior dry storage racks that will remain in operation through
the first phase. Dry Storage Phase I will contain 282 slips in the
new dry stack along with the Dock Masters office, ships store,
retail and parking and will continue to utilize 250 exterior storage
racks. As the building permitting and construction of the first
phase is expected to take 12-24 months we will utilize that time to
process the full ERP for the overall dry stack and should be able to
include the in-water launch facilities for Phase 1 either as a permit
modification at the end of Phase 1 or as the initial work of Phase 2.
The two new restaurants are part of this first phase also, as they will
be purely upland facilities. We have intentionally separated the two
new restaurants from the dry storage facility to allow us to permit
them separately and anticipate completing them in 18-24 months.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
2. Dry Storage Phase 2A
We will consult with the agencies in advance as we seek building
permits for the first phase of the dry stack as outlined above. We
then will seek a single permit for the balance of dry storage facility,
including the in- water launching facilities for phase one. As the
first two phases contain 462 slips combined they do not exceed
the existing 648 slip count so we hope that will assist in getting
the permits issued to allow essentially continuous construction to
proceed through Phase two . However, with phase three the dry
stack expands to 750 slips, which is 102 slips larger than the 648
existing dry storage slips. It is possible that we will decide to permit
these additional slips as a separate permit in order not to delay the
initial permit for phase one and two of the dry storage facility. That
is a decision that will be made in consultation with the City and
review agencies
The dry stack permits will also include the expanded in-water
launching facilities and docks that will be necessary to properly
and timely operate the dry storage facility. As these docks will
need to be in areas that do not currently have existing docks,
which could also cause permitting complications. It is worth noting
that the Miami Boat show has received permits for the water taxi
channels in the areas adjacent to where some of the launching
facilities are planned and the launching docks have been located
outside of the areas of seagrass identified in those permits, which
should facilitate the permitting of these facilities. We anticipate
permits for construction of the second and third phases of the
upland dry storage facility will be issued in approximately 18-24
months, which should allow for completion of the second phase in
approximately 30-36 months.
3. Dry Storage Phase 3A
As the ERP permits for the dry stack will have been issued including
for the entire dry stack and in water launching facilities, the third
phase will commence construction in approximately 36 months
and complete construction in 48 months.
ii. Wet Slip Marina
1. Wet Slip Marina - Phase 2B
Initially VKLLC will continue to operate the existing wet slip marina
in its existing configuration with only necessary cleanup and
improvements of those facilities and operations so that we can
operate a first class marina as required by the RFP. This will ensure
continuing income to the city from day one as we go through the
permitting process.
The plans for the marina basin call for a reduction in the number of
wet slips to approximately 162 slips from the current 190-200 slip
count. Assuming the agencies agree to issue a single permit for the
Page 14
6. REDEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
wet slip basin, we have allocated 18-24 months for those permits
to be issued. We will then proceed with construction drawings and
construction permits to construct the new docks in two phases.
The first phase of the wet slips is projected to be completed in
approximately 30-36 months.
2. Wet Slip Marina - Phase 3B
The Second phase of the wet slip reconstruction, which may
involve maintenance dredging and associated mitigation, is
anticipated to take longer with the second phase being completed
in approximately 36- 48 months.
As shown on the proposed plans there is a portion of the wet slip
basin that is an expansion into the area to the west of the existing
docks where there is presently an informal anchorage. It is possible
that this area might need to be permitted separately from the area
currently occupied by existing docks, if the agencies raise new
concerns about this area or if other complications or issues arise. If
that occurs, there would be an additional period of time necessary
to complete the construction of that area but we still anticipate that
we will be able to complete the construction with approximately 60
months from the effective date of the lease.
(d) Environmental Permitting Approach
Moffatt & Nichol (M & N) will work as part of the VKLLC Project
Team to prepare comprehensive environmental permit applications
and process them with the local, state, and federal agencies
with jurisdiction over the Project. Key personnel at M & N have
designed and permitted several of the larger and more complex
wet and dry slip marinas over the past 15 years in southeast Florida
and these staff persons will take the lead on the marine design and
environmental permitting for the Project out of the M & N Miami
office in Coconut Grove. The company began participating in
urban waterfront development in the early 1960s. Since that time,
M&N has become recognized throughout the world for its role
in the revitalization and redevelopment of urban waterfronts. The
firm has served government agencies, corporations, and private
clients in over 60 countries, and the firm is currently involved in
the planning, design and permitting of a variety of waterfront and
coastal protection projects worldwide. M & Ns headquarters are
in Long Beach, California, with 30 branch offices throughout North
America, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Additional
information regarding M & Ns experience and services can be
found online at: www.moffattnichol.com.
i. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
The Project wet slip reconfiguration will require Department of the
Army Permit(s) authorizing construction under the jurisdiction of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, as well as Section 10 of the
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. The proposed activities will be
reviewed pursuant to the applicants submittal of a Dredge and Fill
Permit application as part of the joint federal-state Environmental
Resource Permitting process. The proposed in-water and upland
Project components are primarily marine-related and therefore
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) will
most likely have state jurisdiction over the ERP process. Issues that
must be addressed during this permitting process are potential
impacts to seagrass, navigation, water quality, and the West
Indian manatee. The National Marine Fisheries Service - Protected
Resources Division (NMFS-PRD) may be consulted by the Corps
for issues relating to the protected seagrass if certain species,
which have not been identified in the existing resource analyses,
are found; however, the Project is not located in critical habitat for
the seagrass and, therefore, consultation with NMFS-PRD should
be limited to issuance of a Biological Opinion (BO). The marine
improvements will be designed and optimized to avoid/minimize
impacts to seagrass beds, and M & N will design and negotiate
agency approval of appropriate mitigation for any unavoidable
impacts.
The Project is located in an area of heightened scrutiny for the
endangered West Indian manatee and, therefore, consultation with
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will be required. Any
additional potential impact to manatees will be evaluated (due to
fuel dock improvements, other new slips, changed traffic patterns,
etc.). FWS staff will also review the Project relative to potential
impacts to other endangered species. The FWS consultation will
culminate with the issuance of a BO. Consultation with the NMFS-
Habitat Conservation Division may also be required due to
potential impacts to Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) pursuant to the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
Any direct or indirect impacts to EFH must be minimized, and any
unavoidable impacts mitigated.
ii. Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Environmental Resource Permit(s) will be required for the Project
from the FDEP pursuant to Chapter 373, Florida Statutes, and
related codes. Agency staff will use these rules to evaluate
impacts to environmental resources and appropriate mitigation for
unavoidable impacts. Direct and indirect seagrass impacts will be
raised as potential issues during the ERP process, which includes
consultation with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC). Similar to the FWS, the FDEP/FWC may
raise concerns regarding the potential for proposed fuel dock
improvements and other increases in slip count or use intensity
and adverse impact to manatees and/or their habitat due to the
potential for more vessel traffic, larger vessels, etc.
Page 15
6. REDEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE

basis, which should be sufficient to meet the deed restrictions.

iii. Miami-Dade County

The Miami-Dade County Regulatory and Economic Resources
Department - Division of Environmental Resources Management
(DERM) will review the Project according to the rules and
regulations of Article IV, Division I of the Code of Metropolitan Dade
County (County Code). Pursuant to Section 24-48, this Project
requires a Class I Coastal Construction permit. Demonstration of
compliance with the Miami-Dade County Manatee Protection
Plan (MPP) will be a key component of DERMs review of the
permit application for the Project. The submerged areas of the
Project site are classified in the MPP as Motorboat Density and
Various Water Dependent Uses as Determined by Existing Zoning
or Environmental Regulations. The proposed Project improvements
are acceptable under this classification, which does not specifically
restrict slip number. However, the Project is located in Essential
Manatee Habitat as determined by the MPP and the additional
slips could raise concerns regarding potential impacts to manatees
or their habitat.

The Project will be designed to comply with DERM-required

standards, including applicable portions of the Miami-Dade
County Public Works Manual, Chapter 33B of the County Code
and Biscayne Bay Management criteria established by Miami-
Dade County Ordinance No. 81-19 (codified as Sections 33D-1
through 33D-4 of the County Code). The Shoreline Development
Review Committee (SDRC) will likely review the Project for
compliance with Ch. 33D, Article III, of the County Code. The
SDRC is responsible for the preservation of the basic qualities,
characteristics, and the natural, recreational and aesthetic values

Note: This projected schedule has been developed to attempt to maximize the available facilities during the permitting and construction
phases of the Project. It is based upon the collective experience of the Project Team and best practice estimates for permitting timing
for each of the phases of the Project. Where experience shows that portions of the project permitting will likely take longer than other
portions, they have been separated out into separate phases in order to expedite the prior phases and not delay those potions that should
be able to be permitted more quickly. All of these timeframes are estimates that are substantially dependent upon the timeliness of third
party reviewing agencies. Each of the time frames also assume there are no third party challenges or interventions in the permitting or
construction processes. Any third party involvement could change these timeframes significantly and could lead to denial of some permits.

VIRGINIA KEY
HARBOUR & MARINE CENTER

7.
PLAN
PROJECT
7. PROJECT PLAN
(a) Narrative Description of the Proposed Project Plan
i. Introduction
The Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center has been planned and
designed to meet and exceed all of the requirements of the RFP. It
will be developed into a resilient, sustainable, world class, state-
of-the-art, mixed-use waterfront marine center. The VKLLC Project
Team is led by the most experienced and qualified waterfront
and marina developers and operators in Florida, and the entire
East Coast, the Christoph family and their RCI Group portfolio
of companies, all based here in the County and Suntex Marinas
the largest owner operator of marina facilities in the country. The
Principals of RCI and Suntex have assembled a remarkable Project
Team. The lead architects and designers are the world renowned
design firm of Arquitectonica and ArquitectonicGEO. The engineers
for the Project are Moffatt & Nichol, a firm that is in the forefront of
marina planning and design.
ii. Design Intent Statement
The design concept hinges around the creation of a
contemporary marina village along the Virginia Key
waterfront. The boat storage shed is lined by a series of glass
and green buildings that contain active uses along the public
waterfront promenade. These uses include restaurants and shops.
A dock masters office anchors the northeast corner, commanding
views of the launching area and the marina.
The linearity of the village buildings is interrupted by the boat
launching zones. In addition, the liner is broken into individual
volumes. Each volume has projecting canopies that announce the
uses and their arrival point while adding shade and rain protection.
The volumes also have individual gabled roofs that define a broken-
up composition. The gables combine high-ridge gables that make
reference to tradition and the original Rusty Pelican establishment
with reverse gables that make reference to the dramatic angles
in the nearby Marine Stadium. Accordingly, the architecture has
a profile that makes references the two geometries that have
shaped Virginia Key. The geometries finally get combined at the
restaurant complex at the west end with its dual folded roof. Rising
over stilts they also make reference to the legendary Stiltsville off
Key Biscayne.
The village facades are light and transparent in their glass display
areas and more solid in areas where vines grow to create curtains
of greenery. The liner is animated by the content of the marine
stores, peeking behind and over rises the balance of the boat
storage facility. It is clad in engineered wood slats that give it
texture and warmth while making reference to the materiality and
tonality of early marine sheds. Along the Rickenbacker Causeway,
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
the same textured material rises over a base of cabled vines that
form a green base and blend with the dense foliage proposed
along the land to the south.
The world class design has been coupled with the most state-of-
the-art Aero-Docks automated storage system. The marine village
design and exterior launch pavilions will showcase the modern,
automated mechanical process of storing vessels and create a
unique and fascinating marine-oriented experience that can be
appreciated by customers and the public onlookers. Importantly, the
Village design and automated systems will allow for and facilitate
the creation of an uninterrupted continuous baywalk along the
entire waterfrontsomething that has never been achieved before.
The Projects ability to blend with the existing environment is
buttressed by its scale which is set to the scale of the landscape,
providing balance and helping it to better integrate into the setting.
It acknowledges the tropical climate of the region and responds
to the physical context of the area. This allows the buildings to
meet their functional demands in the most efficient, compact way
possible and minimize the physical and visual impact of the Project
so as to not intrude on water views any more than necessary to
accommodate the required program.
Elements of the marine village and the ribbon of the pedestrian
promenade flow throughout of the Project and are incorporated
into every distinct design feature. This unifying element helps
to accomplish the goal of creating an identity for the entire site.
Currently, the site lacks coherence in design and is comprised of
various stand-alone structures that lack a distinctive character.
VKLLCs proposed design gives the site a sense of direction by
creating a pedestrian friendly and well-balanced organizational
schema.
The integration of the design with the Virginia Key
habitat reinforces and permits functionality while also
visually exposing the functionality of the technology
that will be used in the dry stack. As the boats will be
moving, people will be moving. A continuous ribbon of access
and open spaces guides visitors with ease from the covered and
enclosed parking areas, to the boat storage, to the marinas, to the
waterfront, and to the retail and restaurant uses. The buildings will
be broken up to allow pedestrians, air, and light to flow through.
The entry street will create an opportunity for activation of a hub
of activity on the site and along the Baywalk in a way that has
not been possible on Virginia Key. Wide sidewalks and big show
windows for the retail spaces will further activate the site and
facilitate the interaction between inside and outside spaces.
Page 21
7. PROJECT PLAN
The design of the Project is compatible with the Virginia
Key Master Plan. The design of the Project will also
complement the restoration and use of the Marine
Stadium and is compatible with and no higher than the
height of the Marine Stadium. The design also allows the
Project to be compatible with the Miami International Boat Show
(the Boat Show). VKLLC member RCI already the hosts of the Fort
Lauderdale Boat Show, which is the largest boat show in the world,
and Therefore VKLLC is uniquely qualified to handle the required
accommodations that must be made for the Boat Show.
The site plan is designed to specifically protect and enhance views
of the water from all parts of the Property and maximizes view
corridors to the water. It includes all necessary on-site parking. It
increases the amount of green space on the site and to the extent
possible, will include bio swales, rain gardens, and green roofs.
Landscaping and islands of vegetation will be used to provide
shade and will consist of a varied selection of tropical and Florida
native vegetation that reflects the landscape of the region.
The following landscape goals and policies have guided the
preparation of the landscape.
1. Mangroves and other native trees will be preserved on-
site.
2. Native planting palette based on the restoration work
performed elsewhere on Virginia Key.
3. Plants will be grouped by communities based on specific
ecosystems appropriate to Virginia Key including, Tidal
wetlands, Coastal Strands, and Maritime Hammocks.
4. Plant communities will be salt tolerant and tolerant to
periodic inundation.
5. Building facades will be covered by vines on trellises
which will shade and protect the buildings without relying
on water and fertilizer intensive green wall systems.
6. Similarities in planting will tie the natural areas of Virginia
Key to the marina village via a unified palette of plants.
7. Planted areas will soak up and utilize storm-water as part
of an overall strategy of green infrastructure.
8. Living shorelines will dampen waves while creating
aquatic and upland habitat.
9. No potable water will be used for irrigation.
10. Baywalk will be lined with shade trees.
11. LED site lighting will minimize light spill and energy
consumption.
iii. Marina and Dry Storage
Revenue slip management and revenue generating facilities will be
maximized by modernizing facilities and optimizing the slip size
and configurations. Virtually all of the boat slips presently at the
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
Property, both wet and dry, have become inadequate to service
todays more modern and larger boats. The advent of reliable, very
large horsepower 4 -stroke outboard engines has led to the typical
beam of newer boats being substantially wider and the shore
power requirements of todays vessels has increased substantially.
Likewise, the market demand for in-water slips has grown for larger
vessels. The use of the automated dry storage system, as opposed
to the fork lifts typical of most dry stack facilities, allows for storage
of larger vessels in the new dry stack. Therefore to address these
trends, which are continuing and even accelerating each year,
VKLLC will replace, reconfigure, and update all these existing slips
to accommodate larger in-water vessels so that they will serve
not only todays boats, but those of the at least the next several
decades.
As a result, while the linear footage and the resulting revenue
generating capacity of the wet slips will actually increase over
the current conditions, even though the in-water slip count will
decrease from approximately 190 to 162 slips. The redeveloped
marina will include a substantial number of the wet slips that will
accommodate vessels of 60 feet and larger, as opposed to the
current configuration, which has a significant proportion of 40 foot
and even smaller slips. VKLLC has reviewed the limiting 9-foot
maximum dredge depth outlined in the RFP, and the wet slip mix
will be optimized accordingly to not exceed this limiting depth.
Despite the net reduction of wet slips, hence the revenue generation
potential of the wet slips will increase substantially as these larger
vessels pay a higher rate and the linear footage of dockage will
increase. Moreover, larger vessels use and pay for more ancillary
services which will also increase revenues.
Likewise, the 40 + foot up to as large as 65 foot vessels will be
able to be accommodated in the new state-of-the-art automated
dry storage facility. The new dry stack will include approximately
750 slips which matches the contemplated number of dry stacks
referenced in the Virginia Key Master Plan July 2010 Final Report
which is an increase of 102 slips over the current dry storage
capacity and as the size of the vessels that can be accommodated
will also increase the linear footage of available dry storage will
increase even further. At completion, VKLLCs plan will increase
revenues with a total of 912 wet and dry slips, even though it will
also lessen the number of wet slips.
VKLLC has partnered with Aero-Docks for the state-of-the-art,
high-tech boat storage system that will be used for the Project.
Aero-Docks along with Rockwell international will design and
program a control system that enables electromechanical systems
to automatically place and retrieve loads from defined storage
locations. A data network to distribute and collect information to
Page 22
7. PROJECT PLAN
and from the control system will complement the electromechanical
systems and help to maximize the available storage space in the
building.
At the heart of the profitability of the new marina will be the
automated dry slip Aero-Docks System III that can store 46%
more boats in the exact same building when compared to other
forklift and less efficient mechanical systems and increase the linear
footage available, thereby increasing efficiency and revenue
production. Aero-Docks System III is ready to retrieve or launch
vessels immediately, unlike traditional forklift systems, thus offering
much more efficient 20-30 boats per hour launch/retrieval time.
Aero-Docks uses unique sorting optimization software that, each
night, optimizes where boats are stored, allowing each new boat
that is added to be placed with other boats in a row based on a
configuration that uses 90% or more of the available linear footage.
Often a marina must turn away potential users due to a lack of
space for a particular boat size despite the fact that the total linear
footage is available. Aero-Docks System III has no such limitations,
instead granting the marina owner the ability to re-sort boats to
create space that is needed for new boats and accommodate the
shifting assortment of boat sizes. Having Aero-Docks at Virginia
Key will ensure that nearly all linear feet in the dry stack will
always be used, no matter the mix of boat sizes. This flexibility to
accommodate a variety of vessel sizes and configurations provides
the Project with adaptability for the future market.
We have included in this submittal both the graphic depiction in this
section and a flash drive in a pocket at the back of the binder which
includes two narrated videos describing how the Aero-Docks system
works. Viewing the videos will provide a better understanding of the
system and how it works. Please take the time to review the videos
one is only two minutes long while the other is seven minutes long.
The videos provide a more thorough explanation of the operation
and benefits of the Aero-Docks system.
iv. Restaurant
The existing restaurant facility at the Project entry will be renovated
to become both functionally and aesthetically part of the campus,
with the upper levels becoming ancillary management office space
for the marina operations.
VKLLC will construct and may operate the two proposed restaurants.
VKLLC will work with consultants Corporate Realty Advisors, a
leader in restaurant real estate, to implement an effective market
development strategy to place premium restaurant brands in the
location, make the proposed restaurants among the top-producing
restaurant venues in South Florida, and drive restaurant sales.
VKLLC currently contemplates a restaurant in the casual style of
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
Montys in Coconut Grove, which RCI substantially renovated,
owned, and operated for over 10 years. Additionally, a fine
dining destination restaurant is also contemplated to be included
on the upper level, with a dining breezeway and spectacular views
of Biscayne Bay and beyond.
v. Retail and Ships Store
The Project will contain approximately 30,000 square feet of small
scale retail uses linked directly to the Baywalk, as well as a pool and
outdoor deck. The Projects retail shops will supply all components
of the boating community including paddlers, rowers and sailors
with all of their needs, including bait and tackle, food and drink,
yacht brokerage, rental equipment including diving, paddling and
rowing and repairs and service .in keeping with the Virginia Key
Master Plan, it will be a full service marine destination lacking only
large scale commercial repair facilities, which more appropriately
occur on the Miami River. VKLLC believes that the marinas will not
only serve boat owners within the City of Miami and neighboring
municipalities, but also recreational boaters traveling from other
parts of South Floridas coastline who want to spend the day and
enjoy all of what Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center will have
to offer.
vi. Dock Masters Office
VKLLCs plan also includes a new dock masters office to be
constructed along with the first phase of the new dry storage facility
to service the entire marine campus.
(b) Site Program Analysis
In preparing the Project plans the VKLLC Project team lead by
ARQ, has undertaken a thorough analysis of the site location,
characteristics and interconnections to the rest of Virginia Key and
the policies established by the Virginia Key Master Plan. As shown
on Figures 7b, as part of the site analysis they have examined
the existing and proposed assets on Virginia Key, the marine and
vehicular access to the Property and the pedestrian and bicycle
facilities. They have also analyzed the prevailing winds and sun
direction and shadow studies and the best views both from the
Property and from surrounding sites.
i. Parking Solutions
All structures constructed on the Property must conform to the
appropriate Flood Zone requirements and be designed to adapt
to increased flooding risks due to sea level rise thereby increasing
their resilience and sustainability. The entire ground floor of dry
storage facility and restaurants allow water to flow through and
around structures All new retail floors and infrastructure in the
dry storage facility will be at 12+ above existing sea level and
with only minimal installation of flood barriers, all retail and lower
Page 23
7. PROJECT PLAN
restaurant construction is protected to 15.5 above sea level, while
the upper level restaurant will more than 17 above sea level.
The Project design has the dry storage facility elevated not only
above base flood elevation but at 20+ above sea level thereby
protecting it from even projected storm surges. This creates the
opportunity to provide two levels of covered parking under the dry
storage facility. The upper level will be well above flood elevation
and even the lower level will be 6 above sea level. This allows
VKLLC to provide all of the RFP required parking for both the Project
and the additional 220 parking spaces for the Rusty Pelican as
required by its lease. The parking underneath the dry storage
facility will contain approximately 589 parking spaces, with the
balance of the required parking being provided in ground level
parking lots all at no cost to the City, utilizing only the required
contribution from the Rusty Pelican.
Ironically, placing open layers of parking below the dry storage
facility also provides a flood protection benefit to the Project in
that storm waters can simply flow through and under the storage
facility, as the Coastal Construction Regulations require along the
oceanfront. Further, utilizing this space under the dry storage for
parking minimizes the visual impact that would otherwise be seen
from additional structured parking garage space, which still comply
in with the Virginia Key Master Plan and the RFP by keeping the
overall height of the Project below the height of the Marne stadium
at approximately 65. This parking plan therefore minimizes the
imposition of a larger scale parking garage and the Project onto
the immediate area and neighborhood.
ii. Signage and Wayfinding Plan
As shown in the plans, VKLLC will provide way-finding signs which
are necessary to keep traffic flowing by providing easy to read and
easy to understand signage that is highly visible for quick access.
Our way-finding signs will be installed beginning on the bridge
onto Virginia Key and including a turn around opportunity at the
second intersection required for the Marine Stadium. The signage
program will highlight the on-property way-finding for valet and
municipal parking facilities. These directional sign systems will direct
marina guests and visitors to where they need to go in a welcoming
South Florida vernacular.
iii. Sewage and Pollution Control Plan
The VKLLC Project Team will upgrade and/or improve the existing
site infrastructure to include water and the sewage infrastructure.
The existing sanitary sewer service to the Property will be
reviewed with the City and with Miami-Dade Water and Sewer
Department (WASD). Additional sewage loads are anticipated
from the wet slip marina sewage pump-out systems and from the
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
new building(s). These loads will be estimated and compared to
the existing sanitary sewer loads for the Project in accordance with
WASD guidelines. A gravity collection system will be installed on
site with connection, if applicable, to the existing service on site.
Depending on the capacity of the existing sanitary sewer service to
the site, a lift station may be required with force main discharge into
the existing utilities on the Rickenbacker Causeway, or potentially
to the gravity sewer system to the east of the Project on Virginia Key.
More specifically in regards to the sanitary pump-out facilities, our
marina plan as proposed will develop a zero discharge zone in the
marina. The marina exceeds regulatory requirements by providing
a sanitary pump out system at each wet slip and at locations on
the launching areas for the Dry Storage facility. In addition a
stationary pump out system and portable pump out vehicle that can
service the boats on the fueling docks and launch dock with pump
out station will be kept available for transiting vessels to pump out.
VKLLC is evaluating the grey water recycling systems designed by
Marine Design Dynamics to treat vessel grey water, which was
initially developed for the US Marine Corps. The system filters
vessel grey water to potable water standards prior to discharge.
If determined to be feasible this treated water can be stored and
utilized on the site with other non-potable water for vessel washing,
irrigation and toilet flushing.
iv. Storm Water Management and Hurricane Plan
The VKLLC Project Team will upgrade and/or improve the existing
site infrastructure to include stormwater management. The ERP will
require the engineering design and construction of a stormwater
management system. Currently the majority of runoff from the
Project site sheet flows into the adjacent waters of Biscayne
Bay. The site plan will be designed with perimeter grades and
conveyance of runoff with associated paving and grading.
Green space will be incorporated as indicated in the architectural
site plan. This stormwater management system will provide a
significant improvement to the water quality within the Bay and
ecosystem. Stormwater will be retained for the required treatment
in accordance with SFWMD guidelines by swales, exfiltration
trenches, or detention boxes as required. The amount of retention
will be determined based on the runoff calculations for the Project
impervious and pervious areas. roof leaders from building structures
can be discharged directly into the stormwater system. Depending
on the capacity of the exfiltration trenches, some drainage wells
may be required to provide the required stormwater management,
although we are also going to utilize stormwater to irrigate the on-
site landscaping and will explore the use of cisterns to accomplish
that and possible boat wash down to minimize any potable water
use. During the environmental permitting process, the feasibility
of the installation of outfall pipes will be evaluated to allow the
Page 24
7. PROJECT PLAN
discharge of runoff after the required stormwater treatment is
achieved. In accordance with the SFWMD guidelines, the Project
will be designed to maintain runoff from a 25-year, 3-day rainfall
event on site.
The impact of hurricanes or similar events on waterfront parks and
marinas requires design teams to reexamine traditional guidelines
and engineering requirements. Our team has extensive experience
in resilient design, as well as working through the aftermath of
major events. This expertise will guide the design processes of the
facilities at Virginia Key. Specific strategies will include:
Utilizing a design datum higher than currently required by
FEMA flood datum, which may suggest increasing the height
of pilings to ensure floating elements remain in place during
storm surge events.
Expanding use of solar powered and wireless infrastructure
to minimize the need for conduit that may be vulnerable to
flooding.
Consider use of direct burial electrical cable in place of
traditional conduit.
Improved gangway design to respond to increased storm
surge conditions.
Consideration and design to eliminate risk of potential
contamination from pump out utilities.
Operational plan to depower or shut down vulnerable
systems prior to storm.
v. Additional Overall Site Infrastructure
Improvements, Including Fire Safety
New water supply taps will be made from the existing water service
mains on Rickenbacker Causeway to provide service for the Project.
A new fire line will service the Project, and this line will likely be
10-12 inches in diameter. A loop is anticipated with the potential
for connection to adjacent properties. This loop will include fire
hydrants spaced as required to service the Project, including the
wet slip marina components. In addition, the fire line will provide
service to the new buildings for the fire pump(s) as coordinated
with the building engineers. A new domestic water service line will
be installed to service the new building(s) and marina wet slips, if
required. The existing service to the Property will be reviewed with
the City, and it is possible that the existing domestic water service
has sufficient capacity for the site redevelopment. If sufficient service
is available, new water service lines will be extended through the
site to the building(s) and to the wet slip marina components.
A new FPL service will be required for the Project, and electrical
loads will be estimated for the Project and coordinated with FPL for a
new transformer sized for the Project build-out. Electrical distribution
with underground lines feeding transformers will be designed on
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
site to service the wet slip marina areas and the new building(s). A
meter room is anticipated in the new dry stack marina to distribute
power to the dry stack marina operations and restaurant/retail
areas. Separate, private transformers with appropriate distribution
panels will distribute electrical service to the docks for the shore
power pedestals in the wet slip marina areas.
vi. Pedestrian, Community and Special Needs Access
The baywalk and additional pedestrian and bicycle facilities will
provide easy access to and throughout the Property and provide
connectivity between the different uses, users and surrounding
areas without the use of vehicles. This will include direct access to
the baywalk from the proposed parking facilities. The uplands will
provide a much broader array of publically accessible facilities
and amenities. The largest and most unique public amenity will be
the continuous baywalk which will cover approximately 2,600
linear feet.
This facility will provide remarkable views of the Downtown skyline,
the surrounding natural marine environment, and, of course, will
provide a wonderful viewing platform to simply observe the marina
and boating including the paddling and rowing activities and
events. Moreover, it will connect to a new public boat ramp and
the historic Marine Stadium to the east.
As part of our commitment to achieving sustainability, we take very
seriously the need to make our facilities accessible to everyone
regardless of physical ability. In order to ensure that the docks
are accessible to everyone, we will exceed the requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) recreational boating
requirements. While the ADA guidelines provide for accessible
docks, they do nothing to ensure that the boater can actually
access the boat from the dock once they get to the boat. In order
to solve this challenge, we have proposed the use of lifts similar
to those used for swimming pools to help people reach the boats.
With the implementation of an accessible marina, the redeveloped
facilities at Virginia Key will be well positioned to host adaptive
sailing and power boating training camps and regattas such as
those facilitated by the Warrior Sailing Program. This program
is focused on introducing active duty military and veterans with
disabilities to sailing and racing, and is open to disabled veterans
and members of the US Armed Forces regardless of age, gender,
or race. Other opportunities include hosting the US Disabled
Championships and/or other events sponsored by organizations
such as Challenged America and US Sailing.
Page 25
7. PROJECT PLAN
Specific boating opportunities under consideration to increase
public access to the waterway are:
A top quality sailing school, with classes in basic
seamanship, cruising, and racing.
A recreational sailing and power boat club providing top
quality boats which members of the community can access
at reasonable cost.
A community boating program created in partnership with
local nonprofit organizations with strong demonstrated
success in on the water programs.
A kayaking / paddling program that creates non-motorized
access to the water.
Event hosting and support for adaptive sailing programs for
disabled participants.
A partnership with area high schools such as the MAST
Academy and colleges that have internship or apprentice
programs to allow young people the opportunity to become
certified in marine service industries, including hull repair,
engine repair and maintenance, electronics and maritime
yacht captain programs. We have successfully implemented
similar programs elsewhere, including the New York Harbor
School in New York City.
As part of our commitment to engaging the community, we will
also work with a range of local organizations to create meaningful
boating opportunities for everyone, regardless of age, income, or
ability.
vii. Water Transportation Initiative
Subject to approval by the City, VKLLC plans to provide for safe
docking area(s) for a water taxi/ferry to provide access to the
Marina from the downtown area, South Beach, and other areas as
appropriate. This service can also help to relieve congestion on the
Rickenbacker Causeway and surrounding roadways.
Similar water transportation networks are found in New York City,
Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, and elsewhere and we are excited to
discuss these opportunities at Virginia Key. If interest continues and
would support the effort, VKLLC may even assist in the development
of a water/ferry taxi service with UBER boats to improve access
to the marina. A proper water taxi service can also be asset to
homeland security purposes as an alternate transportation mode in
the event of a road closing on the Rickenbacker Causeway.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
viii. Lighting Plan
The development team has created an approach to lighting the
Project to meet all City of Miami 21 Zoning codes as they apply to
CS Civic Space designation. The Project will contain a high quality
lighting program; which enhances its location on the water and within
the Civic Space requirements; yet only illuminates the pedestrian
surfaces with additional accent lighting on some vertical structures.
The marina basin will maintain a low level of lighting to provide for
a safe pedestrian and vessel environment but not distract from the
environment. Bollard lighting will light gangways and finger piers.
As permitted, natural landscape and mangroves will be washed
with underwater LED elements to enhance their natural surrounds at
night and create a natural soft edge to the marina. Alfresco dinning
and open air retail shops along the promenade add to the need
for low level source lighting concentrated on pedestrian surfaces
and maintaining a low light level to enhance the view of the city
at night to the west. The design team in a series of interviews will
develop the final lighting plan with VKLLC, the City and applicable
permitting officials once selected as the Successful Proposer.
Architectural elements will be up-lit with color LED fixtures and
be placed on a programmable dimmer system to allow VKLLC
the widest range of ambient lighting control. Roof top guest areas
will also maintain a low light level with a focus on surfaces and
highlights on Architectural icons. Pools and fountains will glow
and present a mystic element of design. Soft ambient light will
allow the whole of the Project to have a subtle presence along
the Rickenbacker Causeway and not a billboard of light but a soft
welcoming oasis of entertainment.

7. PROJECT PLAN
(e) Wet Slip Configuration
As shown on the plans, the wet slip marina is planned to be
completely reconfigured and optimized for the market. The existing
layout is very inefficient as it has a single access point to two very
long docks. VKLLC looks forward to working with the City and Rusty
Pelican to gain a few direct access points so that the access points
will be much closer to the actual boat locations making for a much
more user friendly and safe marina as a boat fire at or near the
existing single access point would cutoff almost the entire marina
from the shore. If necessary we will build a shore parallel dock
to provide access to the new docks. As noted above the number
of wet slips will be reduced to 162 from the current slip count of
approximately 190-200 slips, although a much larger percentage
of the slips will accommodate vessels of 60 feet or more in length
actually increasing the linear footage of dockage. Moreover most
boats below 65 feet will be able l to be accommodated in the
dry storage facility. The new slips will be designed to current and
anticipate future standards including additional power, sanitary
pump outs at each slip along with many modern conveniences to
make the user experience truly first class.
The outer docks will be planned for the potential future expansion
of wet slips in the west area as outlined in the Virginia Key Master
Plan. This expansion is not included with this proposal, however
utilities and other supporting infrastructure will be planned for this
potential future expansion as coordinated with the City.
(f) Construction Plan
Figures 7.f. show the anticipated construction staging plans
for each phase. The goal is to build efficiently while keeping as
much of the facility operating as possible. The final staging plans
will have to respond to the building permit and other permit
approvals, however, VKLLC has spent substantial time evaluating
and preparing the Project staging based upon the permitting and
construction needs and we believe we are close to what the final
staging will be.
(g) Landscape Plan
The site plan is designed to specifically protect and enhance views
of the water from all parts of the Project and maximizes view
corridors to the water. It includes all necessary on-site parking. It
increases the amount of green space on the site and to the extent
possible, will include bio swales, rain gardens, and green roofs.
Landscaping and islands of vegetation will be used to provide shade
and will consist of a varied selection of tropical and Florida native
vegetation that reflects the landscape of the region. The following
landscape goals and policies have guided the preparation of the
landscape.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
1. Mangroves and other native trees will be preserved on-
site.
2. Native planting palette based on the restoration work
performed elsewhere on Virginia Key.
3. Plants will be grouped by communities based on specific
ecosystems appropriate to Virginia Key including, Tidal
wetlands, Coastal Strands, and Maritime Hammocks.
4. Plant communities will be salt tolerant and tolerant to
periodic inundation.
5. Building facades will be covered by vines on trellises
which will shade and protect the buildings without relying
on water and fertilizer intensive green wall systems.
6. Similarities in planting will tie the natural areas of Virginia
Key to the marina village via a unified palette of plants.
7. Planted areas will soak up and utilize storm-water as part
of an overall strategy of green infrastructure.
8. Living shorelines will dampen waves while creating
aquatic and upland habitat.
9. No potable water will be used for irrigation.
10. Baywalk will be lined with shade trees.
11. LED site lighting will minimize light spill and energy
consumption.
In general, the native planting palette will be based on the
restoration work performed elsewhere on Virginia Key. Plants
will be grouped by communities based on specific ecosystems
appropriate to Virginia Key including, Tidal wetlands, Coastal
Strands, and Maritime Hammocks. Similarities in planting will tie
the natural areas of Virginia Key to the marina village via a unified
palette of plants. Planted areas will also be designed to soak up
and utilize storm-water as part of an overall strategy of green
infrastructure. Living shorelines will also be utilized where possible
to dampen waves while creating aquatic and upland habitat. The
Project wide baywalk will also be lined with shade trees. Lastly,
buildings will also receive a natural treatment. Building facades
will be covered by vines on trellises which will shade and protect
the buildings without relying on water and fertilizer intensive green
wall systems. In regards to irrigation, no potable water will
be used.
(h) Resilience and Environmental Considerations
i. Long-Term Resiliency of the Project
In December, 2016, Miami-Dade County accepted the final report
on the recommendations by the Miami-Dade County Sea Level
Rise Task Force (CCATF). The VKLLC team has reviewed projected
sea level rise as outlined in the Task Force Report, and 100-year
level storm surges are expected at 11 above sea level in the next
two (2) years The Project design will allow rapid recovery from
Page 53
7. PROJECT PLAN
current and future storm-surge flooding. The entire ground floor of
dry storage facility and restaurants allow water to flow through and
around structures. All new retail floors and infrastructure in the dry
storage facility will be at 12 above existing sea level. With minimal
installation of flood barriers, all dry storage facility and restaurant
construction is protected to 15.5 above sea level. Dry slip boat
handling equipment is 20+ above sea level. The Restaurant will
be 17 above sea level. Further, vertical boat launching facilities
minimize infrastructure vulnerable to flooding. Lastly, the entire site
is designed to channel storm-water to low-lying wetlands and back
to the bay, as more detailed herein.
The current design will also allow continued operation during minor
storms and future king tides which are expected to be 4 above sea
level in 30 years. To accomplish this level of resiliency, all access,
parking, and boating activities will operate 6 above sea level.
. Green infrastructure components such as storm-water retention
areas process and drain water will be located on-site. All planting
on-site will be salt tolerant including tolerance for limited periods of
inundation. All docks and wet-slips will be constructed to withstand
Category 3 storms. On-site back-up power will allow continued
operation when power is down, as well as, on-site solar power that
will minimize reliance on back-up generators.
Our marina plan as proposed will be a zero discharge zone in
the bay.. The marina will have sanitary pump out system being
comprised of a stationary pump out system located at each wetslip
and portable pump out vehicle that can service the boats on the
transient/ launch dock with pump out station will be kept available
for transiting vessels to pump out. We are exploring the grey
water recycling systems designed by Marine Design Dynamics to
treat vessel grey water, which was initially developed for the US
Marine Corps. The system filters vessel grey water to potable water
standards prior to discharge.
The Project Team will upgrade and/or improve the existing site
infrastructure to include stormwater management system. Currently
the majority of runoff from the Project site sheet flows into the
adjacent waters of Biscayne Bay. The site plan will be designed with
perimeter grades and conveyance of runoff with associated paving
and grading. Green space will be incorporated as indicated in the
architectural site plan. This stormwater management system will
provide a significant improvement to the water quality within the
Biscayne Bay and ecosystem. The stormwater management design
will account for sea level rise and will not rely on discharge through
outfalls that also can contribute to site flooding during King Tide
events. The stormwater management system will also be designed
to account for the 50-year planning horizon as outlined by CCATF,
which includes recommendations for not only sea level rise but
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
also the increased groundwater levels. Collected runoff from
roof leaders on buildings will minimize the need for stormwater
management infrastructure.
Lastly, the impact of hurricanes or similar events on waterfront
parks and marinas requires design teams to reexamine traditional
guidelines and engineering requirements. Our Project Team has
extensive experience in resilient design, as well as working through
the aftermath of major events. This expertise will guide the design
processes of the facilities at Virginia Key. Additional specific
strategies that will be implemented are:
Utilizing a design flood elevation higher than the current
published FEMA maps, which may suggest increasing the
height of pilings to ensure floating elements remain in place
during storm surge events.
Expanding use of solar powered and wireless infrastructure
to minimize the need for conduit that may be vulnerable to
flooding.
Consider use of direct burial electrical cable in place of
traditional conduit.
Improved gangway design to respond to increased storm
surge conditions.
Consideration and design to eliminate risk of potential
contamination from pump out utilities.
Operational plans to depower or shut down vulnerable
systems prior to storm events.
ii. Commitment to Protection of Environmental Assets
The VKLLC Project Team is aware of the impact each individual
project and building has on the environment and is committed to
do its part to contribute to a cleaner environment and to protect
and enhance the waterfront and existing environmental resources
on site. The VKLLC Project Team is experienced with green design
strategies and LEED requirements and will utilize them to guide the
development process by meeting or exceeding LEED ratings and
simply emphasizing Green Awareness at the site.
VKLLC will advance the state of the art in sustainable marina design
at Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center, through an integrated
design approach, sustainability and environmental enhancement
has been and will be a key consideration throughout the design
process, with all elements considered as part of broader systems
that work together to take best advantage of all opportunities.
Particular sustainable design systems may include:
Mangroves and other native trees will be preserved on-site.

2. Responsible Boater Initiative Nationwide
Even more important for the environment than Suntexs philanthropic
partnership with the LMC is that Suntex is spreading the LMCs
message beyond its location. Suntex made a commitment to
and is rolling out the LMCs Responsible Boater Initiative to all
Suntex marinas nationwide. Jack E. Lighton, president and CEO,
Loggerhead Marinelife Center, stated, Applying our Responsible
Boating Initiative to all of its properties. As a conservationist, the
greatest gift you can receive is to be joined by others equally
dedicated to your cause.
The Responsible Boater Initiative is designed as a collaborative tool
to work directly with boaters and marinas. The purpose of these
efforts is to provide communities with knowledge on responsible
boating, fishing, and diving practices in order to better protect
marine life and the ocean ecosystem. The Responsible Boater
Initiative includes:
Workshops for the boating community.
Responsible boating signage provided to participating
marinas.
Waterway cleanups.
Suntex will implement the Responsible Boater Initiative nationwide
to join LMC in the fight to protect marine life and the waterways
they call home. The Responsible Boating Initiative will of course be
implemented at the Virginia Key Marina redevelopment.
The Responsible Boating Initiative is an opportunity to expand
educational message of conversation to the boating community
and begin working together to protect sea turtles and our local

v. Incorporation of Green Design and Natural/
Native Elements
The VKLLC Project Team is experienced with green design
strategies and LEED requirements and will utilize them to guide
the development process. Green infrastructure components such
as storm-water retention areas process and drain water will be
incorporated into the Project and located on-site. Currently the
majority of runoff from the Project site sheet flows into the adjacent
waters of Biscayne Bay. The site plan will be designed with
perimeter grades and conveyance of runoff with associated paving
and grading. Green space will be incorporated as indicated in the
architectural site plan. This stormwater management system will
provide a significant improvement to the water quality within the
Bay and ecosystem. Stormwater will be retained for the required
treatment in accordance with SFWMD guidelines by swales,
exfiltration trenches, or detention boxes as required. . Roof leaders
will collect runoff from the buildings for possible storage in cisterns.
In accordance with the SFWMD guidelines, the Project will be
designed to maintain runoff from a 25-year, 3-day rainfall event
on site.

on Virginia Key. Plants will be grouped by communities based on
specific ecosystems appropriate to Virginia Key including, Tidal
wetlands, Coastal Strands, and Maritime Hammocks. Similarities
in planting will tie the natural areas of Virginia Key to the marina
village via a unified palette of plants. Planted areas will also be
designed to soak up and utilize storm-water as part of an overall
strategy of green infrastructure. Living shorelines will also be critical
to dampen waves while creating aquatic and upland habitat. The
Project wide baywalk will also be lined with shade trees. Lastly,
buildings will also receive a natural treatment. Building facades
will be covered by vines on trellises which will shade and protect
the buildings without relying on water and fertilizer intensive green
wall systems.
LED site lighting will minimize light spill and energy consumption.
Importantly, Asphalt will be replaced with light colored pavers
and covered parking to minimize heat island effect. The solar
capacity of the Project will be 2.3 mWh per year, equivalent to
180 households, and enough to significantly or completely reduce
dependence of traditional power. In regards to irrigation, no
potable water will be used for irrigation.
VKLLC will utilize high quality point source lighting throughout the
entire facility to be eco-friendly and will routinely power-down
sections of the Project when areas are in limited use.
VKLLCs green signage philosophy will be rooted in the greater
Biscayne Bay Environmental context and is rooted in implementing
sustainable solutions. Our core belief is the longer time in the life-
cycle, the less time in the waste-cycle. The architectural signage
program should follow four sustainability criteria:
Durable materials and finishes ensure our products have a
long life.
Modular functionality ensures that products are designed
and built to allow for easy message updates helps extend
the life of the solution.
Recyclable materials and components enable us to
disassemble and recycle our products at the end of life.
Responsible fabricating partners and suppliers match our
eco-friendly practices and products.

Small scale marine oriented retail.
Dry Storage for 750 boats.

VKLLC has utilized the VKMP as a guide for all development in

the Project and to make a more cohesive, attractive contribution to
Virginia Key. The proposed plan focuses on creating multi-layered
benefits for the City, the surrounding community and visitors from
around the world. Significant planning efforts for the proposed
upland and marina site were developed through the Virginia Key
Master Plan process.

Importantly, the Project matches the scope and

scale of the VKMP. The Projects new dry stack will
include approximately 750 slips, thereby matching
the contemplated number of dry stacks referenced in
the Virginia Key Master Plan July 2010 Final Report.
The retail is small scale marine oriented and limited to
30,000 square feet. At completion, VKLLCs plan will increase
revenues with a total of 912 slips. This slip count is less than the number
of wet and dry slips contemplated in the VKMP, as the number of
wet slips is substantially smaller. Moreover the proposed facilities
are located in substantially the same locations as contemplated in
the VKMP. Below is an overlay comparison between the VKLLC
plan and the VKMP plan. This overlay illustrates the Project concept
and VKMP plan are the same in all material respects. Indeed the
current plan is more environmentally sensitive and respectful of
the existing environment as it does not contemplate large areas of
dredging or large expansions of the wet slips beyond the Citys
bay bottom ownership.

PLAN
OPERATIONAL
8. OPERATING PLAN
(a) Improved Efficiencies of Marina Operation and
Site Utilization
As described in more detail in Section 7 above, the guiding
principles followed in the preparation of the phased development
plan has been to improve and make more rational the operation
and function of the site. This is accomplished, first by having the
entire dry storage operation occur to the east of the entry drive,
while all of the wet slips are consolidated redeveloped and
improved on the west side of the entry drive thereby eliminating
major sources of conflicts with traffic and particularly forklifts
crossing the entry drive. The increased emphasis on site wide
pedestrian access and safety coupled with centralization of ample
parking, while providing for protected drop off facilities for the wet
slips, will further simplify property operations, while providing easy
access for all patrons and customers to all portions of the property.
Moreover by providing covered easily accessible parking patrons
will not return to extremely hot vehicles during the summer months
when most local boating activity takes place. In short, the VKLLC
plan will provide a complete organized and rational campus,
including coordination with the Rusty Pelican, for the public and
property customers and patrons to enjoy, which simply does not
exist today.
(b) Use of Site During Construction
and Redevelopment
VKLLC will initiate permitting applications in various stages so as
to preserve as much of the revenue-generating business on-site
as possible. VKLLCs plan during permitting would be to take over
the complete facility at Rickenbacker as well as the City dry stack
immediately after selection. To maximize efficiencies and create a
more uniform customer experience, VKLLC will operate all facilities
during the permitting and zoning process. Some key components
for creating a better experience for the customers would be to
quickly align the outside dry racks so they all launch from the
northern launch site currently utilized solely by the City. Eliminating
the need for forklifts to cross the entrance road will allow patrons of
the marina and Rusty Pelican to move more freely and help to raise
the facilitys standards to that of a high-end experience. It will also
facilitate preparations for ultimate construction.
The wet slips will be maintained in operation during the
permitting process to ensure that the rent to the City is
maximized from the very beginning of the Lease. The
VKLLC Team will make the facility more attractive to its customers by
cleaning the docks, removing clutter, and upgrading the customer
service level of the piers. Improvements will include, where possible,
upgrading the power pedestals as well as hangars for the hoses
and power cords to clean and organize the piers.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
As permitting and zoning hurdles are navigated, we will move each
Project phase forward. As each phase is designed, progresses,
and is later fully absorbed, we will immediately move to the next
phase to expedite the completion of a new unified campus. VKLLCs
principals and affiliates have completed many large-scale projects
while keeping the existing operations open for business and phasing
in new components of the projects. Logistics of parking and outside
dry stack realignment will be continuously adjusted during each
phase. Based upon its past experience with many properties VKLLC
is uniquely qualified to handle a project of this magnitude with so
many components and changing phases. The VKLLC Project
Team has a premier team to handle every aspect of the
development and have a proven track record of success
of repositioning and redeveloping both public and
private marina properties.
(c) Operations and Business Plan
VKLLC will continuously review the operating and development
plan of the Project in response to comments from the City and market
conditions. VKLLC will immediately begin to upgrade the facility
and begin marketing efforts to rebrand and improve the image of
the Property. VKLLC Project Team will initially continue to operate
existing facilities, but upgrade the operation to operate in first-class
manner. Operations will be maintained in a manner that will lessen
impact on the consumer experience, so as to minimize the negative
effects of the change of management, while continuously providing
upgrades to services and the facilities. Fueling will remain open
throughout the entire construction process.
i. Management and Staffing
VKLLC and its principals have repeated success in implementing
operating plans and transitioning the management of marine
facilities. VKLLC and its marina management company will appoint
a general manager who will be placed at the Property and oversee
the Project along with a separate construction manager once
construction begins. This general manager will hire all necessary
staff to maintain a smooth transition and uninterrupted operation
of the dry stack and marinas. Also, VKLLC will have a restaurant
management team in place to oversee the transition of the existing
restaurant.
VKLLC and its principals have owned and managed several very
successful restaurants in the City as well as Miami Beach. The
VKLLC has a team that can immediately step into Whiskey Joes to
rebrand and operate the facility. VKLLCs restaurant management
ability differentiates itself from the rest because of their highly
successful experiences. Taking over Whiskey Joes immediately so
as to not significantly diminish its revenue-generating capacity will
be a huge benefit to the City and our new customers.
Page 59
8. OPERATING PLAN
VKLLC has extensive experience in operating and enhancing
the retail experience at marine facilities. The Plans provide for
maintaining existing services and will add more shops, office,
and retail to add address the needs of all segments of the boating
community and to improve the overall experience of customers and
visitors to the site.
VKLLC expects to and will be ready to take over
management and operations as soon as it is selected.
Upon selection, starting a few months before a full take-over,
VKLLC would conduct an environmental study as well as a complete
review of documentation necessary to operate the facility. VKLLC
will also survey the machinery, equipment, and docks to assess
what is needed for the operations to continue and be improved.
An overview of VKLLCs management operating plan is as follows,
with the understanding that since all marine properties vary in size
and scope of needs, some of the below-listed positions may not be
required or more than one of the responsibilities may be combined
under a single employees duties:
A Manager will be responsible for all operations at his/her
property (Weekends; requires 40 hour weeks)
A Maintenance Supervisor will oversee/repair all physical
aspects of property facilities that fall within the skill set of
the employee(s) of that department. If the work required
is beyond skill level and within predetermined levels,
Supervisor will arrange for and coordinate the repair/
replacement of facility components as required. In all cases
the work will be coordinated with the manger (5 days/week).
Along with the Manager a Leasing/Accounting Supervisor
will oversee the entire leasing, occupancy, and collections
relating to the property operation including the dry storage
launch and the fuel sales (5 days/week).
A dry storage Ramp Launch Supervisor will oversee all
aspects of dry storage and ramp launch facility from
registration validation to vessel condition on launch and
retrieval (7 days/week).
A Dock Master Supervisor will oversee all aspects of the wet
slip marina operations form vessel arrivals and registrations
to final clean up at the end of each day (7 days/week).
A Fueling Supervisor will oversee all aspects of fueling
operation from environmental compliance to on-site
inventory control to payment by customer and fueling of
vessels (Fuel Dock hours).
An Operations Supervisor will oversee and perform all
necessary functions in order to maintain, protect and assist
the property patrons, the facility, and the non-boaters using
the facility to ensure a clean, safe wholesome environment
for all (7 days/week - 2 shifts).
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
ii. Green Initiatives To Be Implemented
The following green initiatives will be instituted upon VKLLCs
assumption of management responsibilities:
Initial installation of solar powered and low wattage light
sources to address the harbors access and security needs.
Installation of solar powered, wireless security cameras at
every pier and harbor entrance.
Electric car charging station installation in the parking lots.
Trash dumpsters will be replaced with trash compactors.
Initially we will add mobile pump out facilities that can
service vessels in their slips leading up to the installation of
in-slip sanitary pump out systems at every in water slip for
customer convenience and environmental protection.
Trash will be recycled by material type.
Security guards will ride/patrol their respective properties
on foot, bicycle, or golf cart as appropriate to the location
on the property.
iii. Staff Training
In order to prepare for operations, VKLLC will institute rigorous
training objectives to ensure that staff is well prepared to provide
the highest and best quality of service to all customers and visitors.
Staff training will be implemented and consist of the following:
All employees will sign an affidavit certifying they have
read and understand all aspects covered in the Employee
Manual.
The Onsite Manager or Shift Supervisor will instruct and train
each employee pursuant to a Dockhand Training Checklist
which will become a permanent part of their file and will be
regularly reviewed for completeness.
The Manager will coordinate with the Coast Guard and
City marine patrol all marina procedures, operations, and
conditions relative to the facilitys security readiness and
post in a conspicuous location the current Mar Sec
readiness rating.
The Manager and the Shift Supervisors will meet with the
local police and fire department officials, so that both
entities and operations personnel understand what is
expected of the other and the procedures to follow in the
case of an emergency or fire.
All fuel dock personnel will receive personal and video
training on environmental protection protocols relative to
fuel spill control from the Designated First Responder
and the insurance carrier that provides insurance for
environmental issues.

every customer is apprised of upcoming marina events and
activities as well as those waterfront events occurring in
Greater Miami.
Good communication coupled with customer respect and
first-class service is the best formula that ensures customer
satisfaction and reinforces any business relationship. When
possible, office personnel will regularly review and receive
training through hospitality training CDs. This training will be
further reinforced by offering, receiving, and responding to
customers suggestions or comments made through comment
cards, emails and/or by telephone (all summarized and
logged in at the main office of each facility); all of which will
be reviewed, commented on by each harbor master, and
forwarded to the Managers office.

Management oversight and direction will be performed by the

existing VKLLC staff which will be expanded to include additional
staff as required for Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center.
Therefore, existing skilled supervisors will be used to enhance
normal operating staff levels, as needed.

(d) Job Creation

Through extensive studies of jobs created as a result of marina
and mixed use developments Based on our experience, and
through studies based upon independent economic analysis from
consultants including Dr. Michael Evans, PHD from Boca Raton,
FL who is an expert in job and economic forecasting of mixed use
projects including marinas similar to what we are proposing at the
Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center, VKLLC expects the Project
would result in the creation of the following jobs throughout the life
of the Project:

9. ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
KEY
HARBOUR & MARINE CENTER
VIRGINIA
9. MARKET AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
(a) Market Analysis
According to a Marine Industry Economic Impact Study provided
for the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF),
the marine industry in South Florida generated approximately 74
percent of Floridas total marine industry economic impact. As
shown in the above graph that was depicted in the VKMP, vessel
registrations in the County have been on a steady rise (VKMP at
page 49). The Miami-Dade County Board of Commissioners has
stated that despite its extensive coastline and the fact that it is a
mecca for boating, Miami-Dade County is lacking sufficient public
marina facilities and as such, voted to direct the County Mayors
office to prepare a written report concerning boat storage capacity,
marina facilities wait lists, a long-term plan for addressing existing
marina shortage issues, and suitable properties for marina
developments in the County. The Master Plans market analysis,
County officials, and VKLLC recognize that there is significant pent
up market demand for boat storage in both wet and dry marina
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
facilities. VKLLC has the experience and financial capability to
capture that market and deliver substantial financial returns above
those the City is currently receiving from the Property.
The attached Marina Market Analysis prepared by Moffat &
Nichol provides a complete market analysis that demonstrates the
existence of a strong market for the marinas, restaurants, retail, and
other uses that VKLLC is proposing.
(b) Marketing Plan
As stated in the market analysis that was included in the VKMP,
support of the regional and visitor population will be needed to
sustain retail and restaurant uses on Virginia Key (VKMP at page
47). The presence of an existing market for the kinds of services
that VKLLC will offer is well defined in the attached Marina Market
Analysis. Thus, VKLLC will execute a strategic marketing plan and
use its network of marine professionals that spans the entire Eastern
Page 73
9. MARKET AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
seaboard from Boston to Key West to advertise and promote
Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center. Given the substantial and
affluent audience base of the local, regional, and visitor population
to draw upon, a new modern waterfront facility and campus would
instantly have a draw that no other location would have. We will
pursue a creative marketing campaign with a comprehensive
launch plan announcing the beginning of a new era in the history of
Virginia Key. The perception in the market will be one of modernity
and quality yet maintain the Marina village concept of the plans.
The marketing plan will be continually adapted to the evolving
business plan and continue to be conformed to the realities of the
Project, its development, and market conditions.
The marketing plan will include marketing and advertising in
publications and online for the marinas, dry stack, marine services,
and products. Active boaters engage in internet research to find
relevant boating and marina information and make purchasing
decisions. With marketing consultants Dockwa VKLLC and its
extensive network of marinas throughout south Florida and the
entire eastern seaboard will create a website and a social media
presence and even an application for smart phones that will permit
online bookings for slip reservations and enhance e-marketing
and the Projects visibility to current and potential customers. The
Projects entire web presence will be focused on reaching target
markets efficiently and establishing deep engagement levels.

Dockwa is the number one resource for boaters to find information
regarding slips, services, and marine products. It reaches over
12 million people per year, including sophisticated boaters who
plan, cruise, and explore the world. With Marinas.com, VKLLC will
position and brand Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center as a
market leader in the marine industry.
VKLLC will use its existing relationships to advertise in national
publications, such as Waterway Guide. Existing relationships with
and participation in marine associations will also be leveraged
by VKLLC to market and advertise Virginia Key Harbour &
Marine Center and its services. Through its online presence and
relationships with marine associations and publications, VKLLC will
maintain constant communication with targeted audiences to share
information about events, social activities, promotions, the status
of the Projects development, and slip availability. Communication
efforts and public information will be based on the careful
analysis of potential audiences and the development of printed
and electronic marketing materials that match the needs of those
audiences.

INTRODUCTION
Marina Market Analysis Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center 3
INTRODUCTION
The City of Miami (City) advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) 16-
17-011 for the lease of City-owned waterfront property for marina
and restaurant uses (superseding RFP 12-14-077). The property is
located on Virginia Key and two marinas are currently operated on
the site; Rickenbacker Marina and Marine Stadium Marina. According
to CBRE, the upland and submerged land property is approximately
26.65 acres, with the submerged lands area being approximately 17
acres (additional submerged land may be available to the west of the
Project Site). Required uses outlined in the RFP include a dockmaster
office, ships store, fuel facilities, restaurant and required parking.
Additional programming includes a public boat ramp and baywalk.
The goal of the Citys RFP is to encourage an integrally planned and
designed development vision for the property. Other objectives of
the RFP process include:
Convert the existing facility into a modern world-class
facility using state-of-the-art technology and including
ancillary uses that complement the Propertys setting and
geographical location, aimed to stimulate widespread
interest in the waterfront Property.
Provide for the development of a mixed-use
marina/restaurant and waterfront destination, portraying a
unified and integrated marina that seamlessly interacts with
adjacent restaurants and facilities
Moffatt & Nichol (M & N) has been retained by Virginia Key, LLC
(Developer) to prepare the Market Analysis as outlined in Section IV
9 of the RFP.
Marina Market Analysis Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center
The Developer has compiled a site redevelopment plan as part of the
RFP submittal for the Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center (Project).
Additionally, CBRE prepared a Consultation Report (CBRE 16-397MI-
1811-1, dated October 20, 2016) to aid the Developers marina
programming through an analysis of internal asset management. M
& N has coordinated with the Project team in the marina planning for
the Project to optimize the wet and dry slip mix for the anticipated
market in southeast Florida. Further information on the Project is
detailed in Proposed Project section of this report.
Approach
The approach to this analysis is in three parts. The first part is to
provide a detailed inventory and summary of the existing marina
market to document occupancy, seasonality, and type of facility. This
information is based on site visits, knowledge of the Miami-Dade
County market, and desktop research into existing facilities.
The second part of this report includes analysis of the target facility
the Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center (Project) against the
broader comparable marina market. This analysis includes identifying
competing facilities and comparing services offered, rates, and
amenities.
The third part of the market analysis is to optimize the marina
redevelopment planning for the anticipated market.
INTRODUCTION

MARKET AREA
South Florida is a world-renowned mecca for boating. Boating and
marina industry trends tend to be established in South Florida,
especially with the large Ft. Lauderdale and Miami boat shows held
annually. The year-round warm weather and proximity to open water
provides an optimal climate for boating and cruising. Dry stack
marinas have been popular for over 30 years in Florida, whereas in
other parts of the U.S. they are less popular. Increasing waterfront
development and a lack of suitable areas for wet slip marinas have
spurred the development of dry stack marinas in Florida. Older dry
stack marinas handled vessels up to 20 to 25 long, and now dry stack
marinas are regularly handling vessels in excess of 40 in length with
weights in excess of 30,000 lbs. Some of the largest marine forklifts
in operation in the world are in South Florida and they have a capacity
of 60,000 lbs. The largest forklifts began operating at Haulover
Marine Center in Late 2016, with a capacity of 70,000 lbs. The existing
Project site conditions include two 300-slip dry stack facilities.
The marina market in Miami-Dade County tends to be primarily used
by local residents and seasonal visitors with properties in the Miami
area. The Project will accommodate approximately 750 vessels in the
dry stack facility, and a total of approximately 162 wet slips. This
report examines the Miami-Dade County marina market, as residents
from other surrounding counties are less likely to travel to the
Project.
The market area for the Project is defined by the geographic and
demographic boundaries within which the Project would generally
compete. Over 220 marinas (facilities with 10 or more slips) with both
wet and dry slips are located in the County, but only a handful will be
in direct competition with the Project. Comparable facilities were
identified based on the following; 1) proximity to the Project site, 2)
target dry slip market, 3) target wet slip market, and 4) supporting
Marina Market Analysis Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center
waterfront development/amenities. Potential customers include
residents of the Miami-Dade County area of South Florida. A limited
number of visitors and transient boaters are anticipated. Some
boaters may travel from areas of southern Broward County. Refer to
Figure 1. The target market for the Project is for vessels greater than
25 long for the dry stack marina up to approximately 40 feet. Based
on local knowledge, most power boaters in South Florida prefer their
boats stored in an appropriate dry stack marina as opposed to a wet
slip. The target market for the wet slips is for vessels in the 40 range
up to 80 long. Larger wet slips were not considered for the Project
due to the water depths within the submerged land of the City lease
area. The market analysis did not consider private yacht clubs or
mooring facilities.
The market study was limited to a 15-mile radius (approximate) from
the Project site within Miami-Dade County, as this radius
corresponds to a 20-50 minute drive by car to the Project site
depending on local traffic conditions. The Project has been planned
to promote alternative transportation with bicycle racks, a bus stop,
and water taxi access. A trolley system is planned for nearby Key
Biscayne that will have service to Virginia Key.

Geographic Boundaries
There are two major airports that serve the South Florida area. This Figure 2: Marina Market Study Area in Miami-Dade County
makes it convenient for owners that live outside the region to easily
access their boat for cruising. Miami is well known as the gateway to
Latin America, and there are many international flights from Europe
as well as Asia.

Miami Area
Real estate development continues to be strong in the regional City
and Miami-Dade County area, with many high rise residential
development projects in the downtown area being constructed.
Approximately 30,000 new residents moved to the Brickell area of
Miami between 2000 and 2010, and additional residential
developments are either planned or are under construction.
According to articles in the publication, The Real Deal, 55 new condo
buildings and more than 7,250 units were proposed between January
and December of 2015 in Miami-Dade County. With the 2015 project
additions, 259 new condo buildings with nearly 36,350 units are
slated to be built or have already been constructed in Miami-Dade
since this development cycle began in 2011. The real estate articles
indicate that Miami-Dade tends to be beneficial for long term real
estate investors. The 2016 market experienced a slow-down,
however continued growth is projected.
Many of the investors are international, especially from South
America. Many residents, both local and international, would
consider purchasing a recreational boat if there were sufficient and
accessible facilities to keep and maintain a boat.
Vessel registration information was compiled through 2015 for
Miami Dade County, and the vessel classifications for this target
market are as follows:
Table 1: Registered Boat Trends in Miami-Dade County
CLASS 2 CLASS 3 CLASS 4
26-3911 40-6411 65-10911
2015 10,851 2,234 491
2014 10,433 2,056 432
CLASS 2 CLASS 3 CLASS 4
26-3911 40-6411 65-10911
2009 9,954 1,575 154
The classes of vessels for the targeted market in Miami continue to
increase, especially in the Class 4 vessels greater than 65 long that
increased by 337 from 2009 to 2015. In addition, the Class 2 boats
which would be the target range for the dry slips at the Project have
increased by 897 boats from 2009 to 2015. This increase is
approximately 105 boats on average per year.
Industry Trend Boat Sharing
Marinas need to be cognizant of the changing demographics of
boaters, and boat sharing has been increasingly popular just in the
past few years. One of the boat sharing web sites that was
commercially launched in May, 2015 is Boatsetter. This web site
connects boat owners, boat captains, and marinas with boaters
seeking the boating experience without ownership and in some cases
without boating knowledge/experience. In less than two years,
Boatsetter now has over 4,000 boats available for boat sharing. In the
preparation of this market analysis, Boatsetter provided the
following trend observations:
Aging demographic leading to a continued decline in the
number of registered boats in the U.S.

Commission on boat sharing to the marinas
According to Boatsetter, the most common boat size for boat sharing
is in the 28 to 37 range, and the average age of a renter is 45. This
vessel range is suited for dry slips which are planned for the Project.
Consideration for a large and multi-use staging area for the dry slips
is also essential for this demographic, as traditional dry stack marina
operations are established as launch-and-go with minimal wet slip
or staging dock areas.

Boat Ramps
Vessels between 25 to approximately 35 long can still be trailered

Dry Stack Marinas
Dry stack marinas continue to evolve, and locally power vessels under
40 feet in length typically prefer to be in a dry stack marina. Few dry
stack marinas in Miami-Dade County provide fully-enclosed facilities
that are designed for weather and sun protection as well as hurricane
conditions that can affect South Florida. Newer dry stack buildings
are designed in accordance with stringent local building codes. Based
on this market trend in South Florida, existing wet slip marinas are
being reconfigured (or planned) for wet slips greater than 40 feet in
length. Limiting water depths at the Project site and the desire to
avoid dredging due to the regulatory permitting process resulted in
the largest wet slips planned for the Project in the 60 to 80 range.
South Florida is popular for day cruising in boats less than 40 feet
long. The boating season is year-round, and the dry stack marina
provides ease of access to the boater by calling ahead for the boat to

willing to travel further distances and the boats are not typically
stored on land for long periods of time, somewhat insulating this
market segment from economic trends.

MARKET DRIVERS
Market drivers are the factors that lead to boaters taking a slip or
using the Project facilities. For this location, the market drivers
include:
Population growth
Underserved existing population
Tourism

Population Growth
Population in the region continues to grow and the number of
boaters is expected to grow proportionally.
Based on 2014 registered boats in Miami-Dade County, there are
63,319 boats registered in Miami-Dade County and 2,663,000 county
residents. Looking at the residents in the City of Miami, Miami Beach,
and Coral Gables, waterfront population centers in the project area,
results in a population of approximately 575,000.
Analysis of the population and boat registrations suggests a County
wide rate of approximately 1 boat for every 42 residents. For the
waterfront area, that number may be closer to 1 boat for every 9
residents.
Figure 4: Population Growth

MARKET DRIVERS
Marina Market Analysis Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center 10
 Recently, the population for these waterfront areas has grown at 1
to 2% per year. Projecting population growth at 1 to 2% per year over
10 years suggests an additional 600 to 1200 boats entering the
market each year. Continued growth in the greater Miami area is
projected, with growth in the Miami Urban Corps area.

Underserved Existing Population

The existing Miami area marina market is operating at full capacity.
Slips that are available are either undersized or have a related
deficiency. Wait lists for slips are prevalent at most marinas. This
suggests demand for slips that is currently not being satisfied.

Tourism
Many boaters seek experiences while using their boat. This can be a
new destination, new restaurant, or other tourism based activity. The
proposed Project includes new retail and restaurants that will attract
visiting boaters for day trips. The Project will also attract transient
vessels in the wet slips for overnight trips. Interviews conducted with
some of the comparable wet slip marinas indicate that marinas
typically offer 5 to 10 percent of their wet slips for transient use.
However, Dinner Key Marina currently has 85 out of 581 wet slips, or
Figure 5: Vessel Registration Trends 15% transient slips. Dry slips are typically not leased as transient slips.

PROPOSED PROJECT VIRGINIA KEY HARBOUR & MARINE CENTER
The existing facilities at the proposed Project site have been
operating for in excess of 30 years as the Rickenbacker Marina and
the Marine Stadium Marina, respectively. Rickenbacker is currently
operated by a tenant, and Marine Stadium is operated by the City.
Both facilities have experienced high occupancy post-2009 recession
time frame over the past few years, with a waiting list for certain size
vessels. The marinas remain highly occupied with exterior racks,
exposed to the weather and sun as illustrated in Photo 3.
Photo 3: Exterior Dry Slips at Rickenbacker Marina
There is a growing demand for larger vessels in the dry slip mix,
especially in the 35+ range. Both marinas utilize ground stands to
accommodate these larger, and sometimes wider, vessels as

Photo 4: Ground stands at Marine Stadium Marina
According to the CBRE Report, the existing facilities have 648 dry slips
and 190 wet slips for a combined slip count of 838 slips. Recently,
Marine Stadium Marina constructed approximately 540 linear feet of
new bulkhead and replaced the floating staging docks. These
improvements included a pile-supported concrete slab for dry stack

weight and dimensions. Just over 80% of the proposed Project slip
mix is for slips in the dry stack building. This building will be fully
enclosed and designed in accordance with the latest stringent wind
ratings (175 mph) in the Florida Building Code. Staging docks are
Figure 6: Project Site Plan planned to accommodate the industry guideline of staging for 10% of
the stored vessels, or approximately 75 vessels. Based on industry
interviews, utilization at both existing dry stack marinas is higher than
industry trends, with 30% of the vessels launched/retrieved on a busy
holiday weekend.

Marina Market Analysis Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center 15

The wet slip basins have been planned with areas of boat lifts that
will be preferred by certain larger vessels that cannot be
accommodated in the dry stack building but prefer to be kept out of
the water. The majority of the wet slips are in the 50-60+ range,
which is optimized for the market based on demand and waiting lists
confirmed with local marina industry interviews. The RFP limits
maintenance dredging to a uniform depth of 8 or 9 feet.
The western portions of the wet slip marina will require wave
attenuation to limit wave activity within the marina wet slips. Waves
will be wind-generated and the Project site will be influenced by boat
wakes. An outer wave attenuation system will be installed based on
coastal engineering studies and design requirements. The Virginia
Key Master Plan includes a wet slip expansion to the west, and the
docks will be designed to accommodate this potential.
Amenities
Dockside amenities include shore power (single and three phase)
domestic water, sewage pump-out and internet. Domestic water
with limited shore power is planned for the dry stack staging slips,
and dump stations will be provided to service the smaller vessels.
The fuel dock will be improved/expanded to service wet slip
customers as well as transients and other customers. Gasoline and
diesel products will be stored and distributed at the fuel dock. The
fuel dock also currently bunkers fuel from tankers to a variety of
commercial vessels in the area during off-hours, and this operation
may or may not continue at the Project site. Additional fueling will
also be provided at the staging area (gasoline only).
Landside amenities include ample parking, showers, and laundry
facilities for marina customers. A maintenance facility will be
incorporated into the Project. In addition, the Project site plan
includes a waterfront campus with retail and restaurants along with
a baywalk to promote connectivity and to activate the waterfront.

10. FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY

In order to demonstrate the financial feasibility and cash flow to
support the debt service for the Projects capital outlay the following
financial analyses are provided as attachments to Tab 9, above:
(a) Projected Stabilized Operating revenues
(b) Projected Stabilized Operating expenses
(c) Phase Net Operating Income
5. The financial analyses and projections also set aside
reserves for replacements of 2.5% of total
revenue per year; This exceeds the minimum 1%
reserve required by the RFP.
6. The projected rent and real estate tax payments
to the city directly for only the first 15 years is
$66,434,993.

And finally a financial analysis of the Phased Net Operating

Income including a calculation of the expected IRR over the first
15 years of the Lease based on net rentable and/or revenue
producing spaces, hence some of the financial projection numbers
are different from the architectural numbers because they are
prepared for different purposes.

These financial plans and analyses demonstrate:

1. That there is a reasonable projected IRR of

18.7%, which is sufficient to justify the risk of the
required equity investment of $30 Million.

2. There is sufficient revenue upon stabilization, to

pay the City its requested minimum base rent of
$2,150,000 with annual increases of 3.0%-5%;
plus percentage rent of 6% of gross revenues
from wet and dry slip, and fuel sale profits and
6% of revenues received from the restaurants
and retail spaces, which revenues are also
projected to increase annually at the rate of 3%;
These rents exceed the minimums required by
the RFP.

3. Based upon immediate take over and continued operation

of the existing facilities with planned upgrades VKLLC will
pay both base and percentage rent to the city every year
of the lease.

4. Due to the size of the investment and the efficiency of the

resulting program, the combined rents paid to the City are
projected to grow from initial payments of $2,588,000 in
year 1 to $3,709,613 in year 5 to $4,392,980 in year 10;
to $5,054,707 in year 15.

PLAN
FINANCIAL
VIRGINIA KEY
HARBOUR & MARINE CENTER
11. FINANCIAL PLAN
VKLLC will invest more than $80 million including
approximately $30M in equity in the creation of
Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center. VKLLCs financial
plan and cost estimates have been created using reasonable
revenue forecasts based on best available data and costs today
based upon VKLLCs vast experience in South Florida, the State
and Country. Contractor, supplier, and installer budgets and
worksheets supporting the Project development costs are included
in the attachments to this section.
As shown on the Phased Capital Outlay chart and analysis provided
in the attachments to this section and below, it is anticipated that
Phase 1 of the Project will require a capital outlay of approximately
$36,700,000; Phase 2 will require $18,550,000; Phase
3$24,750,000 . These totals include initial infrastructure costs
and on-going capital infrastructure costs. The attached financial
analyses estimate operating expenses, renovation costs, and debt
service for the renovation and building period and first 15 years
of the Projects operation, on a revenue source by revenue source
basis as each phase comes on line and an integrated total basis
over the proposed phased development schedule.
(a) Financing Plan
The members of VKLLC currently own and or operate 47 mixed
use marina properties throughout the Eastern Seaboard and the
Midwest with a combined value approaching $1 Billion. Combined
they are the largest marina owner operators in the United States.
RCI and its related entities and partners have been provided over
$300M in debt financing for its current projects over the last 5
years with along the required corresponding equity investments.
Since August of 2015, Suntex has raised approximately $290
Million in equity which when combined with $400 Million in debt
gives Suntex $690 Million of purchasing power to acquire and
develop marinas; therefore, Suntex has the equity in place to
pursue the Project immediately. Examples of debt financing
over the past three years include:
Loggerhead Marinas, 11 Locations in Florida - The
Loggerhead Marinas include a combined 2,300 slips in 11
locations throughout Florida. $15 million in improvements
across all Loggerhead locations planned for the coming
year. $75 million credit facility Florida Community Bank.
Marina Jack & Bayfront Yacht Works, Sarasota, FL - $30
million credit facility from Florida Community Bank.
Liberty Landing Marina, Jersey City, NJ - $31 million credit
facility from First United Bank (fka American Bank of Texas).
State Dock & Wolf Creek Marinas, Lake Cumberland,
KY - $23.6 million credit facility from First United Bank (fka
American Bank of Texas).
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
As described in detail in the chart -- Phased Capital Outlay the
capital requirement for the first phase is $36.7 Million, while the
expected equity investment of the entire Project is $30 Million of
the $80 Million capital required for a projected debt to equity ratio
of 37.5%.
VKLLC through its members has immediately available
funds to finance the entire first phase of the Project
without any debt financing if that became necessary.
Indeed, VKLLC could fund the entire Project without
debt financing, however, that would not be a prudent
business model. VKLLC has projected seeking debt
financing of $50 Million for the Project. The chart showing
the projected Phased Net Operating Income assumes the full $50M
debt will be phased in over the first 3 years starting with interest
only at 8% for the first 3 years and then a 20 year permanent loan
at 8%. As the projected Net Operating Income statement shows
there is sufficient income from the Project to cover debt service
beginning in year three with Project equity only needed to cover
the initial short fall in years one and two.
(b) Infrastructure Cost Estimate
As shown in the attachments based upon the best information
available to date, VKLLC and its contractors have estimated the
cost of site infrastructure including the baywalk, site work, roads,
water and sewer and utilities to be approximately $7,670,000.
This amount, is listed separately in the construction estimates, but
has not been listed separately in the Phased Capital Outlay Chart,
even though the amounts have been accounted for within the
Capital Budget.
(c) On-Going Capital Infrastructure Costs
As described above in the project description and analysis long
term resiliency and sustainability have been incorporated into the
VKLLC project as a guiding principal of the design at every stage.
The site will be elevated an extra foot to 6 feet above sea level to
provide extra longevity from sea level rise. The dry Storage facility
has been elevated above two levels of parking to protect not only
sea level rise but all but the worst storms. The materials to be used
throughout the site and buildings will be specified with the long term
view of resiliency and sustainability. So there will be initial investment
made in better materials. Even with this initial investment property
and site are still a marine environment, therefore VKLLC has
included a generous 2 1/2 % reserve for replacements.
This exceeds the 1% reserve fund required by the RFP.
Page 88
11. FINANCIAL PLAN

(d) Operation and Maintenance

As clearly demonstrated in the chart entitled Phase Net Operating
income included above, the Virginia Key Harbour & Marine
Center revenues will be sufficient for the project to be
self-supporting with no governmental support other than
cooperation by the City in the land use and permitting process.
Indeed the project will provide substantial direct and indirect
economic benefits to the City reaching $1 Billion in rent and taxes
paid to the city over the life of the Lease.

TO THE CITY
FINAL RETURN
12. FINAL RETURN TO THE CITY
(a) Financial Return to the City Including Base Rent
and Participation Rent
As outlined, demonstrated, and discussed in the financial analyses
above and the attachments to Tab IX , VKLLC has provided a
comprehensive development plan which offers the most positive
economic impact to the City, while maintain and complying with
the principles of the Virginia Key Master Plan .
VKLLC will pay the City annual lease payments of:
(b) Base Rent
Base rent of $2,150,000 that will increased annually by
the greater of: (3%) of the previous years Base Rent, or
an increase based on the amount indicated by the Consumer Price
Index as of (3) months prior to the beginning of the applicable
adjustment date. In no event shall any such annual adjustment to
the Base Rent result in an increase which is less than (3%), or more
than (5%); this exceeds the requirements of the RFP which
only requires a minimum increase of 1%
(c) Percentage Rent
i. Commercial Facilities
Six percent (6%) of sublease income, if any, received by
Lessee from unaffiliated Sub lessees, licensees, concessionaries or
the like for the rental of commercial space (e.g. retail, restaurant,
storage, repair facility, ships store, but specifically excluding fuel
sales, wet slip and dry storage operations) at the Property; this
exceeds the minimum set by the RFP of 4%
ii. Marina Revenue
Six percent (6%) of the Gross Revenue received by Lessee from
the rental of any wet or dry slips at the Property; and
iii. Fuel Sales
Six percent (6%) of the Gross Fuel sales.
Due to the size of the investment and the efficiency of the resulting
program, the combined rents paid to the City are projected to grow
from initial payments of $2,588,000 in year 1 to $3,709,613 in
year 5 to $4,392,980 in year 10; to $5,054,707 in year 15.
Total rent paid to the City in years 1-15 is $60,479,022
--with net present value, based upon the RFP formula
using a discount rate of 5%, of $41,850,704.
The projected Total rent and real estate tax payments to
the City for only the first 15 years will provide a direct
cash value is $66,434,993.
Virginia Key Marina | RFP No. 16-17-011
Total rent paid to the City over the life of the lease is
$909,391,990 plus real estate taxes of $88,340,602 for
a total projected direct cash benefit of $999,732,593--
$1 Billion.
(d) Non-Financial Benefits
i. Job Creation and Hiring
Further public benefits, include the creation of approximately 1,280
local jobs over the life of the project. Implementation of a goal
of 30% of work to be performed by minority and disadvantaged
individuals and groups. Through extensive studies of jobs created
as a result of marina and mixed use developments based on
our experience, and through studies based upon independent
economic analysis from consultants including Dr. Michael Evans,
PHD from Boca Raton, FL who is an expert in job and economic
forecasting of mixed use projects including marinas similar to what
we are proposing at the Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center,
VKLLC expects this Project would result in the creation of the
following jobs throughout the life of the Project:
MARINA RESTAURANT TOTAL JOBS
CONSTRUCTION 460 123 483
DIRECT 134 232 366
INDIRECT 158 173 331
TOTAL JOBS 752 528 1,280
ii. Compliance with the Virginia Key Master Plan
Environmental Enhancement, Resiliency and
Sustainability
The Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center has been
planned and designed to meet and exceed all of the
requirements of the RFP and to be consistent with the
Virginia Key Master Plan principles. The VKLLC Project
will be developed into a world class, state-of-the-art, mixed-use
waterfront marine center. The Project is designed to be resilient,
sustainable, environmentally sensitive and green. The Project
will create a Marina Village inspired image compatible with the
adjacent Marine Stadium yet with a modern waterfront aesthetic.
Virginia Key Harbour & Marine Center will become a true user
friendly marine center for all segments of the public and the boating
community. As part of its sustainable and green design the world
class design team has been coupled with the most state-of-the-art
flexible and efficient Aero-Docks automated dry storage system.
The user experience will be enhanced by the automated process
of storing vessels, and these operations will create a unique and
fascinating marine-oriented spectacle that can be appreciated
by customers and public users alike. Importantly, the design and
Page 90
12. FINAL RETURN TO THE CITY

automated systems will facilitate the creation of thousands

of feet of uninterrupted public baywalk along the
entire waterfront. In addition, VKLLC will provide all
of the required parking for the Project and the citys
obligation to the Rusty Pelican.

The innovative sustainable and resilient design raises

the dry storage facility not only above FEMA 100 year base flood
elevation, but the design accounts for projected sea level rise and
the associated higher storm surge elevations. This resilient design
approach allows for the creation of two full layers of parking under
the storage facility will begin at an elevation of 20+
feet above sea level, while keeping the design height
of approximately 65 feet--below the height of the
adjacent Historic Marine Stadium.

Perhaps as importantly, this design eliminates the need for a six-

story parking garage intruding along the Rickenbacker Causeway.

iii. Suntex Marinas
Suntex is a leading owner, operator and developer of high-quality
coastal and inland marina properties located throughout the
United States. Suntex Marinas is a real estate company investing
exclusively in niche mixed-use marinas and their related operating
platforms. Suntex and its predecessor companies have been in the
marina business since 1995. Currently, Suntex owns and manages
43 marinas comprised of approximately 15,500 boat slips with
a combined value exceeding $600 Million. These marinas are
all full-service and include retail spaces, office buildings, resorts,
hotels, and restaurants throughout the United States, including 14
marinas in Florida.
Suntex is led by a management team with over 100 years
combined experience investing in, acquiring and operating
marinas. Suntex currently employs approximately 60 people in its
corporate office and approximately 1,200 on-site at its marinas
during peak seasons. Suntex has experience with Florida and the
Rules & Regulations governing Marina Operations by currently
owning and operating Snook Bight Marina in Fort Myers Beach,
FL, Marina Jack and Bayfront Yacht Works in Sarasota, FL, and
11 Loggerhead marinas located in St. Petersburg, South Miami,
Aventura, Hollywood, Lantana, South Lantana, Riviera Beach,
Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Vero Beach and Daytona Beach.
Over the last two decades, the principals of Suntex have acquired,
managed and/or sold approximately 60 marinas. The principals
and management of Suntex and its predecessor company have
typically invested in partnership with high net worth individuals,
family offices, private equity firms and hedge funds. Suntexs
realized and unrealized investments have a demonstrable track
record of providing high current income, as well as significant
capital appreciation.
In 1995, Johnny Powers, Ron Rhoades and Scott McMullin invested
in Lakeway Marina, their first marina together. Between 1995 and
1999, they were active in multiple real estate classes, including
office, multifamily, industrial, retail and golf assets - investing an
aggregate of over $200 million in partners and third-party capital.
Page 93
13. EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

In 2000, Johnny Powers and his partners decided to focus the
business solely on marinas, divesting their non-marina real estate
assets. They formed Sun Resorts International and over the next
six years amassed a portfolio of 13 marinas and built a marina
management company. In a series of transactions in 2006 and
2007, Sun Resorts International sold all but three of its marinas and
the management company to Island Global Yachting (IGY), and
subsequently the team worked under the IGY umbrella, leading
the acquisition team throughout 2007 and 2008. In August 2015,
Suntex also raised $200 Million in equity and $300 Million in debt
(total $500 Million) to purchase and develop additional marinas.
Suntex equity commitments have been expanded to approximately
$275 Million as of May 15th, 2017.
Suntex has a proven track record of value creation in the marina
industry. The value creation process starts from the identification
of an acquisition opportunity, where Suntex, because of its
dedicated business development team, has direct relationships with
marina owners across the country, in a marketplace devoid of the
traditional commercial brokerage community.
(b) Operational History Reflective of Capacity
to Meet Project Goals
The Christophs, RCI Group and Suntex have played a leading
role with principal responsibility for the development and
operation of projects of similar size, complexity, and constraints
as the facilities and uses proposed. Members of the Project Team
have successfully developed and obtained financing for multiple
projects of similar size and complexity with similar uses and
constraints, securing or providing financing for projects as large
as $1.1 billion in Steelpointe Harbor. Therefore, VKLLC not only
has generally unmatched significant qualifications, experience and
achievements, but more importantly VKLLC has unmatched
significant qualifications, experience and achievements
in developing and operating projects very similar to
the Virginia Key Marina RFP. A sampling of similar projects
to Virginia Key Marina are as follows, and include several
large mixed-use urban projects in Florida that involve publicly
owned lands:

Suntex seeks to create value at every step of the acquisition,

operations and asset management process. A few examples
include:
Strategic high return on investment (ROI) capital projects:
Suntex has extensive experience generating incremental
NOI from a property by selectively replacing antiquated
infrastructure with slips that can generate the highest rate in
a given market.
Revenue mix: Suntexs experience enables it to optimize the
mix of amenities at a particular marina (e.g. service, fuel,
retail shop, etc.), in order to enhance the customer experience
and ultimately drive the highest slip rental rates.
Internalizing service departments: Suntex understands that
a poorly operated service department can have a negative
impact on the customer experience. As a matter of practice,
Suntex will internalize the service department so it can
elevate the standard of service to the tenant, have greater
control over the overall customer experience, and ultimately
drive incremental revenues at the property.

services can be found online at www.suntex.com.

and Florida. His real estate activities and syndications have raised
hundreds of millions of dollars through debt and equity sources.
In the past three years, the principals of RCI Group have received
complex financial commitments from major financial institutions.
This demonstrates that the principals have the financial soundness,
financial capability, and the background to fund the Project.
VKLLCs principals and Project Team members have successfully
developed and obtained financing for multiple projects of a similar
size, complexity, and with similar uses and constraints as what
is being proposed for this RFP. Reference letters from financial

SUNTEX MARINAS
John D. Powers, Jr., Founding Principal, CEO

Bryan Redmond, Founding Principal, Head of Acquisitions

Chris Petty, Principal, Investment Services

David Filler, Principal, Head of Business Development

Suntex Marinas is a leading owner, operator and developer of

high-quality coastal and inland marina properties located
throughout the United States. Suntex Marinas is a real estate
company investing exclusively in niche mixed-use marinas and
their related operating platforms. Suntex and its predecessor
companies have been in the marina business since 1995. Currently,
Suntex owns and manages 43 marinas comprised of approximately
15,500 boat slips with a combined value exceeding $600 Million.
These marinas are all full-service and include retail spaces, office
buildings, resorts, hotels, and restaurants throughout the United
States, including 14 marinas in Florida.

Suntex is led by a management team with over 100 years

combined experience investing in, acquiring and operating
marinas. Suntex currently employs approximately 60 people in its
corporate office and approximately 1,200 on-site at its marinas
during peak seasons. Suntex has experience with Florida and the
Rules & Regulations governing Marina Operations by currently
owning and operating Snook Bight Marina in Fort Myers Beach, FL,
Marina Jack and Bayfront Yacht Works in Sarasota, FL, and 11
Loggerhead marinas located in St. Petersburg, South Miami,
Aventura, Hollywood, Lantana, South Lantana, Riviera Beach, Palm
Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Vero Beach and Daytona Beach.

Over the last two decades, the principals of Suntex have acquired,
managed and/or sold approximately 60 marinas. The principals
and management of Suntex and its predecessor company have
typically invested in partnership with high net worth individuals,
family offices, private equity firms and hedge funds. Suntexs
realized and unrealized investments have a demonstrable track
record of providing high current income, as well as significant
capital appreciation.
In 1995, Johnny Powers, Ron Rhoades and Scott McMullin invested
in Lakeway Marina, their first marina together. Between 1995 and
1999, they were active in multiple real estate classes, including
office, multifamily, industrial, retail and golf assets - investing an
aggregate of over $200 million in partners and third-party capital.

In 2000, Johnny Powers and his partners decided to focus the

business solely on marinas, divesting their non-marina real estate
assets. They formed Sun Resorts International and over the next
six years amassed a portfolio of 13 marinas and built a marina
management company. In a series of transactions in 2006 and
2007, Sun Resorts International sold all but three of its marinas
and the management company to Island Global Yachting (IGY),
and subsequently the team worked under the IGY umbrella,
leading the acquisition team throughout 2007 and 2008. In August
2015, Suntex also raised $200 Million in equity and $300 Million in
debt (total $500 Million) to purchase and develop additional
marinas. Suntex equity commitments have been expanded to
approximately $275 Million as of May 15th, 2017.

Suntex has a proven track record of value creation in the marina

industry. The value creation process starts from the identification
of an acquisition opportunity, where Suntex, because of its
dedicated business development team, has direct relationships
with marina owners across the country, in a marketplace devoid of
the traditional commercial brokerage community.

Suntex seeks to create value at every step of the acquisition,

operations and asset management process. A few examples
include:

Strategic high return on investment (ROI) capital projects:

Suntex has extensive experience generating incremental NOI
from a property by selectively replacing antiquated
infrastructure with slips that can generate the highest rate in a
given market.
Revenue mix: Suntexs experience enables it to optimize the mix
of amenities at a particular marina (e.g. service, fuel, retail shop,
etc.), in order to enhance the customer experience and
ultimately drive the highest slip rental rates.
Internalizing service departments: Suntex understands that a
poorly operated service department can have a negative impact
on the customer experience. As a matter of practice, Suntex will
internalize the service department so it can elevate the standard
of service to the tenant, have greater control over the overall
customer experience, and ultimately drive incremental revenues
at the property.

Client: RMK Merrill Stevens

Rendering courtesy of RMK Merrill Stevens, LLC

Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) provided planning, design and permitting for the redevelopment of the north yard
at RMK Merrill Stevens on the Miami River in Miami, Florida. The planned redevelopment of the 6-acre
north yard includes a new ship lift from Pearlson Shiplift Corporation with a 2,700-ton capacity for 230-foot
long vessels. The shiplift is supported by a marine foundation with steel sheet pile combi-wall and augercast
24-inch-diameter piles supporting the hoist platforms; six hoists on either side of the platform. The dredge
depth for the sheet piling is -32 feet to accommodate the shiplift platform in the lowered position for the
design vessel draft clearance. Four transfer berths were designed in the shipyard to service a variety of vessels
on cradles, and M&N designed the rail and augercast pile foundations along with concrete slabs. Dredging
and excavation plans were developed and additional bulkheads and moorings were designed along the Miami
River. A stormwater management system was designed to collect and treat runoff for discharge into drainage
wells. M&N managed the design of the site electrical, lighting, sanitary sewer, fire protection and domestic
water utilities for the shipyard along with marine pedestals along the waterfront. Site grading was designed to
raise the grades above the FEMA flood elevation. The engineering design was conducted with early
contractor involvement to optimize the design and construction schedule. Construction documents were
prepared along with technical specifications, and M&N provided construction administration services.
M&N processed environmental permits for the project from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and Miami-Dade Department of Environmental
Resources Management. A phased-permit approach was developed to facilitate early construction of certain
components including the upland transfer berths and shiplift hoist sheet piling. A submerged lands lease
through FDEP was also obtained for the waterfront marginal docking areas along the bulkheads.

Dry Stack Storage from Aero-Docks a Member of the Technomarine Group of

Companys

Aero-Docks Boat Storage Systems

Virginia Key Design - 750 Boats within the dry stack, maximum length 65 feet, 45,000
pounds maximum weight.

Aero-Docks System III stores 40-55% more boats depending on layout in EXACT same
size building footprint and height of forklift dry stack. System IIIs unique ability to work in
a building maximum of 200 feet (61m) in height allows 250% more boats on same
amount of land when going above the 61 ft (19m) maximum for a forklift building. See
Casa Del Mar project detailed design layout comparison of forklift dry stack system to
our System III designed layout later this page. We put 46% more boats in exact same
building and increased linear footage available and PROFITABLE INCOME by 86%! Our
System III does NOT use individual boat carriers which is a significant cost and cycle time
savings. Systems attempting to use carriers have their cycle times greatly increased due
to once boat is launched the boats carrier must be returned into building. Aero-Docks
system is ready to retrieve or launch another vessel immediately offering 20-30 boats
per hour launch/retrieval.

FOUR REASONS WH Y AERO- DOCKS SYS TEM III STORES MORE BOATS

1. Aisle is 30% narrower than forklift as our aisle only needs to be 2 ft longer than longest
boat giving more space for boats to be stored.
2. Longest boats can be stored top levels where forklift higher it goes less weight it can
lift. This creates a triangle of space in front of boats on 3rd and 4th level providing no
income from paid for building space. With forklift this restriction of shorter boats top 2
levels greatly reduces mix of boats you can store.

3. Aero-Docks building height can be 200ft ( 60m) vs. maximum of 62ft(19m) for forklift
building. Additional 220% of boat storage space on same site. Converting AIR SPACE
above building that a forklift can never use.

4. In forklift building if max row length is 45 ft most always boats less than 45ft are stored
leaving often 25%-35% lost income from space that is there but empty. Aero-Docks
ability to put 2-4 boats one row and computer density software matching mix of boat
lengths so up to 90%+ linear footage of all rows all levels are income producing.

5. SEE Aero-Docks DVD OF SYSTEM III THAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE PROPOSAL (2 minute
and 7 minute versions are includeed within the package)

VESSEL SORTING OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE

You will also see the fantastic advantage our sorting optimization software unique in
the boating world has. It optimizes each night where boats are stored allowing each
new boat added to be placed with other boats in a row to use 90% or more of linear
footage (meters). Marina owners know that over past few decades the size and type
of boats (MIX) changes. A forklift marina due to only one boat per row ( one each
side of space wasting wide aisle) is forced in most slots to place a shorter boat than
length of slot losing that income. Also often a marina must turn away potential
members due to no space for their size boat currently available even though linear
footage is there. Aero-Docks System III has no such limitations, instead granting the
marina owner ability to re-sort boats to create space needed for new boat owners
especially into future when the MIX of boats changes.

The Aero-Docks at Virginia Key will always be able use nearly all linear feet in building
now and most important decades into the future no matter the mix of boats. Another
equally important Aero-Dock advantage is this optimization software stores the usage
of the boat owners and adjusts during night to move these boats close to launch
entrance of building allowing 2-3 min. launch times.

Ultimate Convienence. Request your boat, set time you need your vessel, know
marina lead time, provision your boat from the merchants located at the Virginia Key
Campus for you day on the water, food, ice, bait and all you need from the marina's
concierge service desk including maintenance for you vessel.

Key Equipment within the system is the SWE (Steel Wheeled Elevator) that moves the
boats within the building and to the waiting water lifts where boats are either
launched or retrieved at the water. Here are schematics showing these two pieces
of equipment:

 SCHEDULE A
TO APPENDIX 10

Question 4 --- The Proposer, VKLLC, does not have any uncured defaults of failures to
perform with the City of Miami or any other Governmental entity.

In an abundance of caution VKLLC discloses that:

One of RCI Group's prior affiliated companies, Bayshore Landing LLC, had a dispute
with the independent auditor for the City of Miami over the calculation of prior
revenues the auditor alleged were due to the City. This matter was resolved amicably
through an agreed upon settlement, which was ultimately approved by the City
Commission.

Similarly, Miami Beach Marina Associates, Ltd. had a dispute with a new independent
auditor for the City of Miami Beach, who alleged that it owed the city additional rent
based upon certain calculations regarding percentage rent , even though the same
calculations had been used MBMA and approved by the City for more than a decade.
This matter was resolved amicably administratively based upon an agreed upon partial
payment by MBMA.

Suntex received letters from New Jersey DEP on August 24th and August 29th of 2016 in
regards to an alleged shortfall in prior year ground lease payments related to Liberty
Landing Marina. The letter threatened default if the issue was not addressed within 30
days. Suntex and the NJDEP worked together to identify the actual discrepancy, and
Suntex paid an amount to the NJDEP and the issue was fully resolved.

Question 7--- The Proposer, VKLLC, does not have any past, present or on-going
Litigation or adversarial administrative proceedings with the City or other government
Agency or entity.

However, in an abundance of caution VKLLC discloses that:

RCI Group and several of its affiliated companies, including but not limited to those, in
Miami-Dade County and Bridgeport, Connecticut have filed in the past and currently
have pending Administrative challenges to the assessed valuation of their respective
properties. Similarly Suntex has affiliated entities have filed in the past and currently

MIAMI 5445141.1 74183/46889

have pending Administrative challenges to the assessed valuation of their respective
properties.

Question 9--- The Proposer, VKLLC, has not had past, present or pending
involuntary bankruptcies, liquidations, assignments for the benefit of
creditors, receiverships, dissolutions, actions involving fraudulent transfers,
foreclosures, or similar actions within the past seven (7) years on projects or businesses
they have owned, operated, or controlled a majority interest (i.e., ownership of ten
percent (10%) or more of the entity stock or shares).

However, in an abundance of caution VKLLC discloses that:

During the period of extreme drought in Texas leading up to 2015 five marinas owned
or leased by Suntex predecessor entities were not fully functional due to the drought
and were unable to perform under their loan agreements and leases, although they
were not formally declared in default under mortgage with Capital One or their under
leases with cities of Dallas and Rockwall. In late 2015, Suntex Marina Investors LLC,
through wholly owned affiliates, acquired the Capital One notes and took over the
assets of 5 marinas located on Lake Ray Hubbard and Eagle Mountain Lake by way of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure from the Suntex predecessor entities. All 5 marinas and
ground leases are currently in good standing with their respective landlords.

Question 10--- The Proposer, VKLLC, has not been found liable by any legal or
administrative entity via any proceedings for environmental damage, contamination or
any other environmental liability.

However, in an abundance of caution VKLLC discloses that:

On June 20, 2000 Marin and Marin and contractor working for Amerilift Technology
Corporation at the Miami Beach Marina ruptured a 54" sewer force while driving pilings
for the installation of boat lifts in the marina. This accident lead to the issuance of
Notice of Violation and Cease and Desist orders being issued by Miami -Dade County to
among other parties, Miami Beach Marina Associates, LTD. (MBMA) and RCI Marine, Inc
(RCI Marine), two RCI Group related companies. Pursuant the Notices MBMA and RCI
Marine to entered into a Consent Agreement with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection on August 8, 2002. Pursuant to the Consent order the two
companies agreed to pay a total of $29,200 in fines and costs to FDEP to resolve the
matter.

Similarly, and as result of the pipe rupture MBMA and RCI Marine and their insurance
companies and other parties entered into a Settlement Agreement with Miami-Dade
County, the owner of the ruptured pipe on June 29, 2001 pursuant to which all matters
involving the pipe rupture with the County were resolved by payment of $1.5 Million by
the insurance companies on behalf of the companies and the City. However, the
Settlement by its terms stated "Nothing contained herein constitutes an admission of
liability or wrongdoing or coverage of any kind by or between the Parties or by the
County." All of the pertinent documents related to this matter have been previously
filed with the City of Miami and are otherwise public documents and therefore have not

MIAMI 5445141.1 74183/46889

been included here. However, if the City would like additional copies or information
about the issue VKLLC and RCI would be happy to supply those copies.

On or about January 2003 a jet ski rental tenant at the Miami Beach Marina installed
prefabricated floating platforms next to the fixed docks on the north end of the marina
for their jet ski's based upon an permit exemption for the floating platforms in the FDEP
regulations. FDEP during a routine inspection cited the tenant and landlord, MBMA,
based upon its interpretation that the exemption only applied to private installations
not commercial users of the exact same platforms. Despite a legitimate question about
the department's interpretation of the exemption, MBMA determined it would faster
and less expensive to simply apply for after the fact permits for the already installed
platforms and enter into a short form consent agreement with FDEP, rather than fight
the notice and interpretation. MBMA entered into a short form Consent Agreement
with FDEP on July 2, 2003. Pursuant to the Consent Agreement MBMA paid $2400 in
fines and costs and the matter was closed.

On or about July 1, 2008 a freighter traversing government cut lost power and steerage
and rammed into and broke through the southern breakwater of the Miami
Beach Marina narrowing avoiding causing serious damage to the boats and injury to
patrons in the marina. The ship was lodged in the breakwater for a few days but once it
was removed the entire south end of the marina was exposed to wave action from
government cut. On an emergency basis MBMA arranged for a marine contractor to
install temporary sheet piling across the damaged opening in the breakwater to protect
the vessels in the marina from further damage until a permanent repair could be
designed, permitted and installed. The entire incident was reported the Miami Herald.
Based upon those reports on July 8, 2008 FDEP decided to cite MBMA for failing to get
permits for the emergency temporary sheet pile repair, even though such permits
would have taken weeks or months. MBMA had no choice but to keep the temporary
repair in place while the permanent repair was permitted without risking damage and
possible injury to patrons in the marina. It once again decided the most prudent course
of action was to apply of after the fact permits for the emergency repair and to enter
into a Consent Agreement with FDEP which it did on January 26, 2009. Pursuant to the
Consent agreement it paid $ 4,750 in fines and costs.

On or about late 2011 a handicapped patron in the River Cove Marina on the Miami
River who had difficulty getting on and off their boat docked in the marina inquired if it
would be possible to modify a ramp and dock in the marina to make it easier for them
to get on and off their boat. 2000 South River Marina LLC responded by modifying the
ramp and slightly enlarging the dock. Separately it had in installed a security gate on the
dock. Months later during a routine inspection the inspector from Miami-Dade DERM
cited the owner and required it to apply for an after the fact permit for the
modifications to the railing and floating dock, which it did applying for the permit in
August of 2013 and the matter was closed . No fines were assessed or paid.

MIAMI 5445141.1 74183/46889

 Exhibit C Form Lease Agreement

To the extent of any inconsistency between the proposed revisions to this Lease, the Proposal
and/or the requirements of the RFP, the RFP shall prevail such that the proposed revisions to
this Lease and the Proposal shall be deemed responsive to the RFP.

dDeposit serve as liquidated damages for any event of default; rather, Lessor may apply the

(30) days following such request from Lessor and each such remittance received by Lessor shall
thereupon constitute a part of the Security Deposit subject to the terms and provisions thereof.
Failure to make any such requested remittance within such thirty (30) day period may be treated
by Lessor as a failure by Lessee to make timely payment of rent and as an Event of Default.

The Security Deposit shall be retained by the Lessor throughout the entire term of this
Lease and, if not utilized by Lessor, will be returned to Lessee without interest, and less any
allowable deductions, credits or setoffs by Lessor, within thirty (30) days following the surrender

 10.5 Acceptable Transfers

The Lessee recognizes that the operational experience of the Lessee as set forth in the
proposal was given special consideration by the Lessor in the public selection process
undertaken by the Lessor for the award of this Lease. Therefore, Lessee agrees that except as
permitted pursuant to this Article X of this Lease, no Transfer may be made, suffered or created
by the Lessee, or any Owner without the prior written consent of the City Manager, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The following Transfers shall be
permitted hereunder without the written approval of the City Manager:

(a) Any Transfer directly resulting from the foreclosure of Lessees Leasehold Estate,
provided that such purchaser or grantee is an institutional investor (including a bank or other
similar financial institution) or an agent, designee or nominee of an institutional investor which
is wholly owned or controlled by an institutional investor, and that such purchaser or grantee
within six (6) months after taking possession of the Premises, shall have entered into an
agreement for the management and operation of the Premises with an Acceptable Operator or is
itself an Acceptable Operator;

(b) the issuance of stock, stock options or similar rights to Lessees directors,
officers, owners or employees, provided the stock, stock options or similar rights issued
constitute, in the aggregate, fifteen percent (15%) or less of the issued and outstanding ownership
interests of Lessee;

The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the going public by Lessee, including, but not limited to, the filing of a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the creation of one
or more classes of ownership interests and the offering of ownership interests to the public for
purchase, shall not constitute a Transfer hereunder and shall not require the consent of the
Lessor.

(c) Any Transfer for estate planning purposes of a direct or indirect owner of Lessee;

(d) Any Transfer required by any Lender to Lessee;

(e) Any Transfer in order for Suntex to maintain its REIT status or to otherwise
comply with the applicable tax regulations governing the same (e.g. subleasing certain portions
of the Leased Premises generating operating income to an affiliate of Lessee provided that the
Lessor receives the same rent as if the Lease to the Affiliate of Lessee did not exist).

(f) Any Transfer by any Affiliate of Suntex to any Affiliate of Christoph and vice
versa.

Any consent to a Transfer shall not waive or abridge any of the Lessors rights to consent
to a subsequent Transfer. Any Transfer made in violation of the terms hereof shall be null and
void and of no force and effect. Any transferee must be an institutional investor (as provided
above) or an Acceptable Operator in each such instance.

holdings, and in the event any other parties have a material beneficial ownership interest, their
full names and addresses and the extent of such interest as determined or indicated by the
records of Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the information required by this Section shall
not be required to be furnished with respect to the holders of an ownership interest of any Owner
whose interests are publicly traded. As used in this section, the term material shall mean
ownership of not less than a ten (10%) percent interest in Lessee.

substantially complied with at the date of the Transfer; and

(2) the entity to which such Transfer is made, by instrument in writing reasonably
satisfactory to the City Manager (subject to approval as to legal form by the City Attorney) and
in a form recordable among the land records, shall, for itself and its successors and assigns, and
especially for the benefit of the Lessor, expressly assume all of the obligations of Lessee under
this Lease, agree to be subject to all conditions and restrictions to which Lessee is subject,
including the additional guarantees required under Section 16.5 of this Lease ; provided,
however, that any transferee shall not be required to assume any personal liability under this
Lease with respect to any matter arising prior or subsequent to the period of such transferees
actual ownership, partial or whole, of the Leasehold Estate created by this Lease (it being
understood, nevertheless, that the absence of any such liability for such matters shall not impair,
impede or prejudice any other right or remedy available to the Lessor for default by Lessee).
Nothing herein shall be construed to relive or release the Lessee from liability for the
performance of all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease.

MIAMI 5427950.4 74183/46889 Page 36 of 83

 10.10 Acceptance of Rent from Transferee

The acceptance by Lessor of the payment of Rent following any Transfer prohibited by
this Article shall not be deemed to be a consent by Lessor to any such Transfer, nor shall the
same be deemed to be a waiver of any right or remedy of Lessor hereunder.

10.11 Transfers of the Lessors Interest

At the Lessees request, Lessor shall provide the Lessee copies of any and all agreements
or contracts pertaining to the total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, mortgage, trust or
power, or other transfer in any mode or form of or with respect to the Lessors reversionary or
fee interest in the Premises, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or any contract or
agreement to do any of the same, to any purchaser, assignee, mortgagee, or trustee. Lessor
hereby agrees to incorporate the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease or in any agreement
or contract with such purchaser, assignee, mortgagee, or trustee.

10.12 Mortgages of Leasehold Interest

10.12.1 Right to Mortgage. All rights of Lessee pursuant to this Lease are
mortgageable, pledgeable, assignable or transferable, in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
Any successor to, or assignee of, the rights of Lessee hereunder (whether as the result of
voluntary assignment, foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) shall hold or
be entitled to exercise the rights of Lessee hereunder as fully as if named as such party herein.
No party exercising rights as Lessee hereunder shall have or incur any liability for the acts of any
other party which previously exercised or subsequently shall exercise such rights. In no way
shall Lessee have any authority to mortgage the ownership interest belonging to Lessor. Lessor
shall reasonably cooperate with any Lender of Lessee.

10.12.2 Requirements for Mortgage. In addition to the requirements

specified throughout this Lease, Lessee may only pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise mortgage the
Leasehold Estate with the written permission of the City Manager, the permission for which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10.12.3 Notice. In the event Lessor gives a notice of default under this
Lease to Lessee, Lessor shall also send a copy of such notice to any holder of a Leasehold
Mortgage, provided such holder or its mortgagor shall have sent Lessor a notice informing it of
the existence of such Leasehold Mortgage and the name of the person or officer and the address
to which copies of the notices of defaults are to be sent (each a Mortgagee). Such Mortgagee
shall have an additional thirty (30) days to cure any default that is capable of being cured with
the payment of money, and an additional thirty (30) days for all other defaults (and such
additional time, as to non-monetary defaults, as the Mortgagee in good faith and with reasonable
diligence either attempts to cure such default or commences and thereafter prosecutes with
reasonable diligence, if not enjoined or stayed, appropriate proceedings for foreclosure or other
enforcement of the liens securing its financing). Initiation of foreclosure proceedings against
Lessee shall constitute diligence by a Mortgagee hereunder so long as such foreclosure
proceedings are continuously pursued and all rent and additional rent is being paid to Lessor by
Lessee or Mortgagee during the pendency of any foreclosure proceeding. The foregoing

MIAMI 5427950.4 74183/46889 Page 37 of 83

requirements to give notice of default to a Mortgagee and allow such Mortgagee an opportunity
to cure such default shall not delay the exercise of self- help remedies by Lessor in the event of
an emergency.

10.12.4 Rights of Mortgagees. Once Lessor has received a notice as

specified in the preceding section, then, from and after receipt of such notice:

(1) No voluntary termination by Lessee of this Lease shall be effective unless

consented to in writing by such Mortgagee; and any material amendment or material
modification of this Lease or the exercise by Lessee of any option to terminate this Lease without
the written consent of such Mortgagee shall be voidable as against such Mortgagee at its option.
If any Mortgagee shall fail to respond to any written consent under this section within thirty (30)
days after the receipt by such Mortgagee of such written request (which written request shall
make specific reference to this section), the Mortgagee shall be deemed to have denied its
consent to such request. No notice required to be given to Lessee by Lessor shall be effective as
to such Mortgagee unless and until a copy thereof has been given to such Mortgagee.

(2) Lessor shall accept performance of any and all of Lessees obligations hereunder,
including the obligations to pay rent, from any such Mortgagee and the performance of such
obligation by such Mortgagee shall be deemed to have been a cure effected by Lessee. Lessor
hereby consents to the entry onto the Premises by any such Mortgagee for the purpose of
effecting the cure of any default by Lessee. In the event of a default by Lessee hereunder, any
Mortgagee may affect the cure of such default by foreclosing its Mortgage, obtaining possession
of the Premises and performing all of Lessees obligations hereunder.

(3) If it shall be necessary for any such Mortgagee to obtain possession of the
Premises to effect any such cure of a default by Lessee under this Lease, then Lessor shall not
commence any proceeding or action to terminate the Lease Term if (a) such Mortgagee shall
have informed Lessor within the grace period applicable to such Mortgagee that such Mortgagee
has taken steps to foreclose its Leasehold Mortgage, to obtain possession of the Premises, (b) the
rent and all monetary obligations of Lessee shall be paid and all other provisions and
requirements of this Lease which are capable of being observed and performed without obtaining
possession of the Premises are so observed and performed while any such foreclosure, other
action or other remedy is being prosecuted by any such Mortgagee and for so long thereafter as
such Mortgagee shall have obtained possession of the Premises, and (c) such Mortgagee shall be
diligently prosecuting such foreclosure or cancellation and attempting to effect a cure of the
default. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Mortgagee to continue with any
foreclosure or other proceedings, or, in the event such Mortgagee shall otherwise acquire
possession of the Premises, to continue such possession, if the default in respect to which Lessor
shall have given the notice shall be remedied.

(4) Lessor agrees that in the event of the termination of this Lease by reason of any
default by Lessee or rejection of this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding effecting Lessee, and if
Lessor has prior to such termination been given written notice of the name and address of such
Mortgagee, Lessor will enter into a new agreement for the Premises with any Mortgagee or a
wholly owned subsidiary of Mortgagee for the remainder of the Lease Term, effective as of the

MIAMI 5427950.4 74183/46889 Page 38 of 83

date of such termination, at the rent and upon the terms, options, provisions, covenants and
agreement s as herein contained, provided:

i. Such Mortgagee shall make written request upon Lessor for such new
agreement prior to or within ten (10) days after the date of such termination and such
written request is accompanied by payment to Lessor of all sums then due to Lessor hereunder;

ii. Such Mortgagee or its nominee shall pay to Lessor at the time of the
execution and delivery of said new lease any and all sums which would at that time be due
hereunder but for such termination; and

iii. That in the event there exists more than one Mortgagee, the first
Mortgagee shall have the first option to become Lessee under the provisions of this section, with
priority over the second Mortgagee.

(5) No Mortgagee shall become liable under the agreements, terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease unless and until it becomes the owner of the estate held by Lessee.

All of the provisions contained in this Lease with respect to Leasehold Mortgage and the
rights of Mortgagees shall survive the termination of this Lease for such period of time as shall
be necessary to effectuate the rights granted to all Mortgagees by the provisions of this Lease.

Nothing herein contained shall require any Mortgagee or its nominee to cure any default
by Lessee hereunder, unless Mortgagee accepts assignment and assumption; however this shall
not preclude the City from seeking a judicial remedy for any such losses or breaches of the Lease
in a manner consistent with the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE XI

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

11.1 Compliance with Laws

Lessee shall, at Lessees sole cost and expense, comply with all applicable Federal, State,

pertaining to Lessee or its use of the Premises in all material respects, and shall faithfully

herein as any services provided at hotels, motels, bars, clubs, cafeterias, lodging, and food and
beverage at convention or conference facilities) on the Premises, be a signatory to a Labor
Peace Agreement covering the employees who will staff such hospitality operations.

MIAMI 5427950.4 74183/46889 Page 39 of 83

 The Labor Peace Agreement must be a valid agreement that includes a No-Strike Pledge
prohibiting the labor organization and its members from engaging in any picketing, work
stoppages, boycotts, or any other economic interference with the hospitality operation for as long
as the Lessor determines that its revenues are at material risk from a potential labor dispute. The
Labor Peace Agreement shall cover all hospitality operations (other than construction, alteration
or repair of the premises) that are conducted by lessees or tenants or under management
agreements, where the contract amount is reasonably expected to be in excess of $120,000. The
Labor Peace Agreement shall not include any provision that would require or compel an
employee to be a member of any labor organization.

A contracting party may be relieved of this obligation if: (a) the labor organization places
conditions upon its No-Strike Pledge that the City Commission finds, after notice and public
hearing, to be arbitrary or capricious; or (b) the City Manager makes a written finding containing
the reasons for supporting the conclusion that a labor peace agreement should not be required as
it would not be practicable or is not advantageous to the City, which finding must be approved
by the City Commission, after notice and public hearing. Lessee shall comply with this provision
to the extent not prohibited by law or any other provision within this or any other governing
agreement.

11.3 Minimum Wage Requirements

Lessee shall comply and endeavor to make its sublessees comply with all minimum wage
requirements applicable to the operations on the Premises. Lessee shall comply with this

exercise of the power of eminent domain, or shall be conveyed by Lessor and Lessee acting

Lease and in the Leasehold Improvements and if Lessor and Lessee shall not agree in writing as

applicable cure period and after compliance with all applicable laws, and at the sole
discretion of Lessor, to terminate this Lease and retain the Security Deposit upon providing
five (5) days written notice and opportunity to cure. An Event of Default shall be deemed to

suit or action brought by Lessee and the time period required for termination of this Lease shall
not be tolled by the filing of a suit or action to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Additionally, if any Event of Default occurs, Lessor may, at its option, from time to time,
without terminating this Lease, re-enter and re-let the Premises, or any part thereof, as the agent
and for the account of Lessee upon such terms and conditions as Lessor may deem advisable or
satisfactory, in which event the rents received on such re-letting shall be applied first to the
expenses of such re-letting and collection including but not limited to, reasonably necessary

MIAMI 5427950.4 74183/46889 Page 48 of 83

renovation and alterations of the Premises, reasonable attorneys fees, any real estate
commissions paid, and thereafter toward payment of all sums due or to become due to Lessor
hereunder, and if a sufficient sum shall not be thus realized or secured to pay such sums and
other charges, at Lessors option, Lessee shall pay Lessor any deficiency immediately
uponwithin thirty (30) days after written demand therefore, notwithstanding that Lessor may
have received periodic rental in excess of the periodic rental stipulated in this Lease in previous
or subsequent rental periods, and Lessor may bring an action therefore as such deficiency shall
arise. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to require Lessor to re-enter and re-let the
Premises in any event. Lessor shall not, in any event, be required to pay Lessee any surplus of
any sums received by Lessor on a re-letting of said Premises in excess of the rent provided in this
Lease.

If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right to obtain injunctive and
declaratory relief, temporary and/or permanent, against Lessee for any acts, conduct or omissions
of Lessee, and to further obtain specific performance of any term, covenant or condition of this
Lease, including but not limited to the appointment of a receiver to operate Lessees business at
the Premises.

If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right, at its option, to declare all
Rent (or any portion thereof) for the entire remaining Lease Term, and other indebtedness owing
by Lessee to Lessor, if any, immediately due and payable without regard to whether possession
of the Premises shall have been surrendered to or taken by Lessor, and may commence action
immediately thereupon and recover judgment therefore. If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor,
in addition to other rights and remedies it may have, shall have the right to remove all or any part
of Lessees personal property from the Premises and any personal property removed may be
stored in any public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Lessee, and
Lessor shall not be responsible for the care or safekeeping thereof whether in transport, storage
or otherwise, and Lessee hereby waives any and all claim against Lessor for loss, destruction
and/or damage or injury which may be occasioned by any of the aforesaid acts.

No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an

election on Lessors part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given
to Lessee. Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Lessor may at all times
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default. Any such re-entry shall be
allowed by Lessee without hindrance, and Lessor shall not be liable in damages for any such re-
entry, or guilty of trespass or forcible entry.

It is expressly agreed that the forbearance on the part of Lessor in the institution of any
suit or entry of judgment for any part of the Rent herein reserved to Lessor, shall not serve as a
defense against nor prejudice a subsequent action for such Rent. Lessee hereby expressly waives
Lessees right to claim a merger or waiver of such subsequent action in any previous suit or in
the judgment entered therein. Furthermore, it is expressly agreed that claims for liquidated Base
Rent and/or Percentage Rent may be regarded by Lessor, if it so elects, as separate and
independent claims capable of being separately assigned.

MIAMI 5427950.4 74183/46889 Page 49 of 83

 Any and all rights, remedies and options given in this Lease to Lessor shall be cumulative
and in addition to and without waiver of, or in derogation of, any right or remedy given to it
under any laws now or hereafter in effect.

16.3 No Waiver by Lessor

The waiver (either expressed or implied by law) by Lessor of any default of any term,
condition or covenant herein contained shall not be a waiver of any subsequent default of the
same term or any other term, condition or covenant herein contained. The consent or approval
by Lessor to or of any act by Lessee requiring Lessors consent or approval shall not be deemed
to waive or render unnecessary Lessors consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by
Lessee. No re-entry hereunder shall bar the recovery of rents or damages for the default or delay
on the part of Lessor to enforce any right hereunder and shall not be deemed a waiver of any
preceding default by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, or a waiver of the
right of Lessor to annul this Lease or to re-enter the Premises or to re-let same.

16.4 Late Payment Fee

Any installment of Rent not received within five (5) days after the due date shall be
subject to a late payment fee. Lessee shall pay, in addition to the payment then due, five percent
(5%) of the amount due (Late Fee), and in the event that any check, bank draft, order for
payment, or negotiable instrument given to Lessor for any payment under Lease shall be
dishonored for any reason whatsoever not attributable to Lessor, Lessor, in addition to the five
(5%) percent Late Fee, shall be entitled to make an administrative charge to Lessee of One
Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($100.00), or the actual charge, to Lessor by Lessors bank for
dealing with such dishonored tender, whichever is greater. In the event that it shall be necessary
for Lessor to give more than one (1) written notice to Lessee of any violation of this Lease,
during the term hereof, Lessor shall be entitled to make an administrative charge to Lessee of
Twenty-five and 0/100 Dollars ($25.00) for each such subsequent notice after the first notice.
Lessee recognizes and agrees that the charges Lessor is entitled to make upon the conditions
stated in this section represent, at the time this Lease is made, a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs of Lessor in the administration of the Premises resulting from the events described
herein, which costs are not contemplated or included in any Rent or other charges provided to be
paid by Lessee to Lessor in this Lease. Any charges becoming due under this Section of this
Lease shall be added to and become due with the late payment for which the charge was
assessed, and shall be collectible as a part thereof.

16.5 Additional Guarantees

In the event that Lessee defaults in accordance with the terms of this Article, or otherwise
fails to perform any obligation required by this Lease, which directly or indirectly causes Lessor
to suffer damages, and thereafter Lessee fails to cure or remedy the respective default in
accordance to the terms of this Lease, either: (1) Lessees parent company, if any,; (2) a Principal
of Lessee; or (3) a substantially similar guarantor with sufficient assets to fulfill the requirements
imposed by this Lease and corresponding RFP, shall assume responsibility as a personal
guarantor (Guarantor), and shall pay the amounts due or perform the obligation required, as
applicable. Guarantor may, at Lessors option, be joined in any action or proceeding commenced

MIAMI 5427950.4 74183/46889 Page 50 of 83

by Lessor against Lessee in connection with and based upon the failure of Lessee to perform.
Alternatively, Lessee shall be permitted to maintain an escrow account, bond, or similar financial
reserve in the amount of ________________________ to serve in the event of Lessee Default in
place of the additional guarantee required by this section 16.5.

16.6 16.6 Remedies Cumulative

No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Lessor or the Lessee shall be considered
exclusive of any other remedy, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given under this Lease or existing at law or in equity or by statute; and every power and
remedy given by this Lease to the Lessor or the Lessee may be exercised from time to time and
as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor or the Lessee. No
delay or omission of Lessor or Lessee to exercise any right or power arising from any default
shall impair any right or power, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any default or any
acquiescence in it.

16.7 Lessor Default

In the event that Lessor shall at any time be in default of the terms of this Lease and any
such default shall continue for a period of sixtythirty (6030) days after written notice to Lessor,
and Lessor shall not thereafter cure or commence to cure the default, Lessee shall have the right
at any time thereafter (but in no event shall be obligated) to cure such default for the account of
Lessor, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for any amount paid and any expense or contractual
liability so incurred upon invoice. In the event the Lessor default is of the nature of an
emergency, is a threat to any life safety issues or materially impairs Lessee from operating its
business on the Premises, Lessee may immediately commence the cure referenced above upon
written notice to Lessor and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee as provided above.

any time of any of the provisions hereof by either party shall be construed as a waiver of any of
the other provisions hereof, and that a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall
not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or
approval to or of any action by either party requiring such consent or approval shall not be
deemed to waive or render unnecessary such consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar
act by such party.

PHASING PLAN

[SEE PROPOSAL]

Note: This projected schedule (i) has been developed to attempt to maximize the available
facilities during the permitting and construction phases of the Leasehold Improvements, (ii) is
subject to Force Majeure, and (iii) is subject to Lessee obtaining (a) legal possession of the
Premises, and (b) the land use approvals, zoning designation and permits for the construction of
the Leasehold Improvements to be constructed by Lessee and the use of the Premises by
Lessee. It is based upon the collective experience of the project team and best practice
estimates for permitting timing for each of the phases of the Leasehold Improvements. Where
experience shows that portions of the project permitting will likely take longer than other
portions, they have been separated out into separate phases in order to expedite the prior phases
and not delay those potions that should be able to be permitted more quickly. All of these
timeframes are estimates that are substantially dependent upon the timeliness of third party
reviewing agencies. Each of the time frames also assume there are no third party challenges or
interventions in the permitting or construction processes. Any third party involvement could
change these timeframes significantly and could lead to denial of some permits.
