A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA,
AUTHORIZING THE 2014 JAZZ IN THE GARDENS EVENT; AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE ALL CONTRACTS AND TO RETAIN
CONSULTANTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF
THE NINETH ANNUAL JAZZ IN THE GARDENS EVENT TO BE HELD IN MARCH 2014;
PROVIDING FOR WAIVER OF BID PROCEDURES FOR PURCHASES MADE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE EVENT; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXCEED HIS PURCHASING
AUTHORITY AS MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THE EVENT; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION
OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
The City is looking forward to celebrating the Eighth Annual Jazz in the Gardens event in March 2013 at
Sun Life Stadium. This music festival is not just a concert; it is a high‐class event that has put Miami
Gardens on the map as a thriving City and destination, showcasing its people, community, and
businesses. This year approximately 48,000 people are expected to attend the planned events. ITEM K-1) CONSENT AGENDA
RESOLUTION
2014 Jazz in the Gardens
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200
Miami Gardens, Florida 33169
The Jazz in the Gardens music festival has become one of the premiere spring events in the southeastern
region of the United States. Based on the overwhelming response received in past years, the City has
strategically positioned Jazz in the Gardens as a national event, rapidly gaining increased recognition and
visibility. To capitalize on this momentum, staff would like to begin planning for the 2014 event. This is
critical in order to properly solicit national sponsors while capitalizing on the energy generated by the
success of the 2013 event. In addition, generally speaking, national sponsors require one year
timeframe to properly vet and review events of this magnitude. That entails having a clear
understanding of the sponsorship levels and financial commitments to properly engage as a sponsor.
This will also allow us to foster better relationships with current and new partners, vendors, and key
stakeholders.
It is staff’s goal to have a production contract executed no later than April 30, 2013. Staff intends to
work with 2013 Jazz in the Gardens event producer AEG Live to coordinate all the necessary services
(stage, light, sound, talent, website, etc) on the City's behalf. We anticipate that performing artists,
advertising, marketing and expenditures in several areas will exceed the City Manager's authority as
prescribed under the City’s Purchasing Ordinance. If staff is required to bring each of these matters back
to Council for approval, we would have difficulty negotiating the various agreements for these services
in a timely manner. As such, we request authorization to allow the City Manager to exceed his
purchasing authority, as it relates to the expenditures for the 2014 Jazz in the Gardens events.
Proposed Action:
We recommended that City Council authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and execute contracts as
necessary and appropriate for the production of the Ninth Annual Jazz in the Gardens in March 2014;
allowing a waiver of bid procedures, for purchases made in connection with the event, and authorizes
the City Manger to exceed his purchasing authority, as may be necessary.
Attachment:
None.
