Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal r_. ► • ► ►m% Founded in 1949, the Key West Art & Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) not - for - profit whose mission is to preserve the culture of the Florida Keys through exhibiting and displaying regional art, architecture and history for the purpose of educating the community and visiting V This mission is furthered through the Society's historic preservation efforts and diverse selection of exhibitions, educational programs, lectures, and special events. The Key West Lighthouse began operations in 1848. In 1969, it was decommissioned and the Society acquired a long -term management agreement for the property. For nearly two decades, the Keeper's Quarters and grounds served as a military museum. During the 1980s, the Lighthouse and Keeper's Quarters underwent a three -year restoration process restoring the property to its early 1900s appearance. The Custom House is a four -story architectural marvel built to keep pace with the increasing population and wealth accumulating from Key West's lucrative maritime industries. Opened in 1891, the Custom House was home to the island's customs office, postal service, and district courts. The imposing structure is a prime example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, which was typical for Federal building projects near the end of the 19th century. 2 Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal In 1932, the building transferred to the U.S. Navy and became headquarters for their Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico operations. When the Navy no longer required use of the building, it was declared surplus and abandoned for nearly twenty years. The Custom House was eventually purchased by the State of Florida's Land Acquisition Advisory Council in 1991 and leased to the Society for use as a museum. After a 9 year, $9 million restoration effort the building is a national landmark, an award - winning museum, and official headquarters of the Society. #-% ► ► r%► r r% • • r r The Society proposes a long -term, 30 -year comprehensive management agreement for operating the Historic Monroe County Jail located at Jackson Square as a historic site and museum. The comprehensive management agreement would be similar to the already existing lease for Fort East Martello and the management contract for the Key West Lighthouse and Keeper's Quarters. The Society agrees to assist Monroe County with all aspects of the restoration project, including fundraising efforts, and to operate the Historic Monroe County Jail as historic site and as a museum dedicated to the history of the jail and law - enforcement in Key West and the Florida Keys. 3 Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal The Society will operate the facility as a museum 364 days a year, with daily admissions running from 9:30AM- 4:30PM. Admission prices would mirror those of the Society's other four museums: - Adults: $10 - Children (age 6 and up): $5 - Children (under 6): free - Students: $5 - Senior, AAA travelers, and locals: $9 - KWAHS members: free - Group rate (10 or more): $5 per person In addition, the Society would operate a Museum Store within the facility and host a variety special events, lectures, rental opportunities, evening and group tours, fundraisers, and educational programs throughout the year. Educational programming, as with our other museums, will be central to the operation and would involve outreach throughout the Monroe County School District and the orchestration of group tours to the museum.

Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal r ► • • ► Overview The Society is currently responsible for funding and managing all aspects of preserving the Custom House Museum, which is owned by the State of Florida. As such, the Society raised and spent close to $2 million over the last 5 years on 4 phases of capital improvements. The monies raised came from individual and corporate donors, private foundations, and local and state granting agencies. Preservation projects included restoring 27 double hung windows on the second floor, upgrading the plumbing, electrical and fire suppression systems, repairing major areas of the roof, and restoring significant sections of the building's exterior masonry. The Society's next major capital project is to overall the building's mechanical systems, starting with 4 air handler units located directly above the archival storage areas on the fourth floor. All funds required for this phase were raised over the last 2 years from various sources like those described above. With the Society's management of four museums, public relations efforts and programming, the organization maintains high visibility locally and throughout Florida. The Society supports its museums, exhibitions and programs through significant public relations efforts, which has attributed to its 125% growth in operating budget over the last five fiscal years. Maintaining this level of visibility greatly aided in the Society's efforts to raise the monies needed to preserve the Custom House. Goal #1 Given the financial costs of restoring the Historic Monroe County Jail, the Society agrees to assist with the fundraising and grant writing efforts for the duration of project, including additional phases. The first fundraising goal is $250,000, which would provide the match for the State of Florida Department of Historical Resources Special Category grant for phase 1. Once a long -term management agreement is in place, the Society will initiate a localized PR campaign to raise awareness about the history and importance of the structure, the partnership between the County and the Society, the planned restoration project, and the long- term plan of use. This would include a series of press releases detailing each of the above - mentioned areas. The Society's educational programs would also start to incorporate and high light the jail and the history of law enforcement in Key West and the Florida Keys. These offerings will include, but are not limited to, lectures, exhibitions, and presentations. Key officials and individuals involved in the project and subject will be 0 Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal incorporated into the programs and press releases. These efforts will raise awareness in the community, but also lay the foundation for larger fundraising efforts. In addition to educational programs, the Society will host a series of fundraising events. These events would vary in size and scope, but would aim to continue efforts to raise both awareness and funds. These events would include, but are not limited to, charity bingo, happy hour with the historian, private cocktail events, silent auctions, et cetera. Signage promoting the museum, fundraising needs, and restoration project will be placed on the grounds near the jail. The building is located in one of the more highly trafficked areas of the island, Mile Marker 0, which will assist in raising both awareness and funds. The signage would succinctly describe the project and have URLs directing individuals to www.kwahs.orq which will have pages dedicated to the building and project. The Society's website would prominently feature the jail and restoration project. This will include a photo and link on the website's home banner, a series of internal pages dedicated to the history of the jail and donation forms. The Society's social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) have close to 30,000 follows. The jail, restoration project, and fundraising efforts will be prominently featured across all platforms to increase awareness and raise funds. The Society would also contact local, state, and national foundations and groups with shared interest in historic preservation and the topic. Potential funding sources for the project and future phases include, but not limited to: - State of Florida Department of Historical Resources Special Category Grant - Tourist Development Council Bricks and Mortar Grant - Corporate /business contributions - Individual contributions - Private foundations - Legacy gifts - Fundraising events - Naming opportunities (ie: buy a brick, buy a window, buy a cell, et cetera) - KWAHS's existing revenue stream (ie: a percentage of revenue dedicated to the renovation project) - Operation income (applicable if the museum opens before the project was finished) 81� 7 Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal The State of Florida Department of Historical Resources and Monroe County TDC annually offer capital grants. Both would be required to secure the required funds to complete the restoration project. The Society employees a grant writer with extensive background in these types of grants. Additional research would be required to determine what other granting agencies exist that could support the project. Major grant tentative schedules: Granting Agency Fiscal Year FL DHR FY2019 TDC 8 &M FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 Goal #2 and Future Phases Project Timeframe June 2018 -June 2019 June 2019 -June 2020 June 2020 -June 2021 June 2021 -June 2022 June 2022 -June 2023 October 2018 - September 2019 October 2019 - September 2020 October 2020 - September 2021 October 2021 - September 2022 October 2022 - September 2023 Project TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD It is understood that there will be additional phases to the project, which include additional restoration, exhibition development, and the reconstruction of front section of the building that was demolished in the 1950s. The Society agrees to work in tandem with Monroe County Public Works to create a master plan, raise the necessary funds, apply for available grants and complete the remaining phases. The strategies, tactics, and funding sources described above would be used for the additional phases r Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal A 9 1 I • P'1► Goals 1. Raise awareness amongst locals and visiting public about the history of the Historic Monroe County Jail 2. Raise awareness amongst locals and visiting public about the restoration project, phase 1 3. Announce the opening of the jail as a historic site and museum 4. Receive 20,000 visitors in first year of operation Competitive Analvsis With over 20 museums and cultural attractions in Key West, the area is a highly competitive market in terms of marketing, public relations and attendance. Together these museums and cultural attractions play an important function and service in the tourist economy of the Florida Keys. The Society's annual visitors are diverse, but there are trends based on each museum. Museum Store Staff track visitor information at each location. The Custom House Museum typically attracts an older audience interested in both art and history, especially about Henry Flagler and the Overseas Railway. The Lighthouse and Keeper's Quarters attracts families and children. Fort East Martello caters to families and children due to Robert the Doll, but also attracts individuals interested in military and fort history. The Tennessee Williams Museum attracts visitors interested in literature, those already familiar with Williams' work and the LGBTQ community. While these are typical visitor demographics based on location, each museum still attracts a diverse audience of cultural tourists. The Historic Monroe County Jail Museum is similarly expected to attract a diverse audience as it will serve as historic site and museum. Visitors are expected to include those interested in history of the building and the history of law enforcement in the Florida Keys. Casual visitors are also anticipated. 9 Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal SWAT Analysis 1. Strengths 0 The Historic Monroe County Jail Museum is located in a highly trafficked area and a major tourist attraction, Mile Marker Zero. Marketing the jail through exterior signage will be necessary to increase exposure of the museum to visitors passing by the location and posing for photos near the mile marker sign. b. Cross promotion The Society's Museum Store Staff cross promote each of the four museums. With annual attendance around 150,000, cross promotion is important to ensure visitors at one of the museums are aware of and visit other locations. The Historic Monroe County Jail Museum would be incorporated into this cross promotion. Being located halfway between the Custom House Museum and the Key West Lighthouse & Keeper's Quarters, cross promotion would greatly benefit initial and long term attendance to the museum. c. Established Public Relations The Society currently employees outside consultants to create and implement public relations strategies r 10 Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal and tactics. These efforts aid tremendously in raising awareness, attendance, and funds for programs and projects. Coverage is widespread through various print and digital media in Monroe County and out -of- county. The Historic Monroe County Jail restoration project and museum would be incorporated into this coverage. d. Social Media The Society has over 30,000 followers across its social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). Leveraging this presence to promote the museums, projects and programs greatly assists in boosting attendance to both the museums and programs. As such the Historic Monroe County Jail Museum would be incorporated into the Society's social media presence. It should also be noted that the Society's museums rank well on TripAdvisor. The Society would work to ensure the Historic Monroe County Jail Museum ranks well on the website. 2. Weaknesses a. The biggest weakness in terms of the Society's marketing efforts is lack of necessary funds for large scale marketing campaigns. While every effort is made to be diverse in promotions, the Society, as a not - for - profit, does not have the funds to implement marketing efforts like TV advertisements and ad campaigns in outside markets on a consistent basis. To compensate for this issue, the Society promotes its museums through various tourist maps, third party ticketing agents, print media, social media and radio. The Historic Monroe County Jail Museum would be incorporated into these efforts. 3. Opportunities a. Through already existing marketing and public relations efforts, there is ample opportunity to incorporate the restoration project and Historic Monroe County Jail Museum. The key players, strategies and tactics are already in place. 4. Threats a. In terms of the threats, there are not major threats to marketing and promoting the Historic Monroe County Jail Museum and restoration. As discussed above, the key players, strategies and tactics are already in place. It is a matter of incorporating the jail museum into these larger efforts. Strategies 81� 1. Utilize already established public relation efforts, social media, and local marketing to promote the historic jail, history of law enforcement in the Florida Keys, and the restoration project for goals 1 through 4. Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal 2. Implement customized marketing and advertising in various media in the local area and South Florida. Tactics While there will be ads and marketing efforts in out -of- county markets, it is expected that annual attendance will be from tourists already planning to visit Key West or those already on the island. As such, local marketing will be prioritized for attendance purposes. 1. Goal 1: Raise awareness amongst locals and visiting public about the history of the Historic Monroe County Jail; Goal 2: Raise awareness amongst locals and visiting public about the restoration project, phase 1 a. After the partnership is agreed upon and executed between the Society and Monroe County BOCC work with PR consultants to develop schedule and content for releases b. Releases will cover the history of the building, its significance and long term plans c. The releases would be distributed locally and other mass markets, like South Florida d. Digital Media: The Society would create pages on its website ( www.kwahs.org ) to provide information about the history of the jail. Additional pages will be created for fundraising purposes ii. Content from the releases will be distributed across the Society's social media platforms. Posts will be scheduled for the duration of the project to ensure visibility is maintained e. As grants are received and the restoration project begins additional releases will be created and distributed. Content will be shared to digital media as the releases are distributed f. As events and programs are created the underlying theme for all of the associated press releases and digital media posts will highlight the historic jail and the restoration 1. Goal 3: Announce the opening of the jail as a historic site and museum; Goal 4: Receive 20,000 visitors in first year of operation a. Continue press releases chronicling the project and milestones achieved b. Print i. In- county: During the 3 months leading up to the completion of Phase 1 and the opening of the museum ads will be placed in local print media like the Citizen, Paradise, Konk Life, Florida Weekly Key West, and Keys Weekly ii. Out -of- County: Place print ads throughout South Florida and other select markets. Precedence will be given to entertainment, arts and cultural sections in a variety of newspapers and publications including, but not limited to, the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, Sun - Sentinel Herald Weekend Getaway, Orlando Sentinel, Palm Beach Post and Summer Travel Escapes. Outreach to publications on campuses such as Florida International University, University of Central Florida, University of South Florida, Florida International University and local colleges such as Miami -Dade College, Valencia College and more 12 Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal iii. Digital Media: The digital compenent (banners on websites, e- blasts, and social media) of each of these publications will be incorporated into the advertising and marketing campaign c. Radio i. In- county: Place radio spots /PSAs on stations like US1 Radio, Pirate Radio, Sun 103, etcetera ii. Out -of- County: Place radio spots on WLRN d. Social Media i. Place posts acorss the Society's social media platforms announcing the compeltion of phase 1, the opening of the museum and continued operation of the museum. ii. Work with TripAdvisor to create a ranking for the museum. e. Rack Cards i. Produce brochures and rackcards for the jail to be distributed locally to hotels, other Society museums, kiosks and other outlets f. Consierge i. Create ticket package for concierges to include all 5 of the Society's museums, including the Monroe County Historic Jail Museum g. Tourist Maps i. While the Society already has ads placed on various tourist maps, specific ads for the jail will be designed and placed in these maps (ie: Key West Free Map, Historic Marker Map, etc.) h. Television i. As discussed above, the Society does not have the funding necessary to place meaningful advertisements on television. That said, the Society has benefited greatly from `free' coverage based on the uniqueness of its collection and museums. Robert the Doll, a popular museum artifact has been featured prominently on various programs on networks like Discovery Channel, History Channel and Travel Channel. Most recently, it was featured on the History Channel's Ozzy and Jack's World Detour, which resulted in a significant spike in social media attention, museum visitorship and museum store sales r 13 ,� 3 - . 9 ,� Key West Art & Historical Society, Inc. Historic Monroe County Jail Management Proposal ii. It is anticipated that given the nature of the museum, there would be interest from network and programs mentioned above Third party ticketing i. The Society would work with its third party ticketing agency (i.e.: Trusted Tours of America) to create tour packages and promote the museum Admissions /Attendance Proiections The Society currently averages 150,000 in attendance across its three museums. This does not include special events or estimated attendance for the Tennessee Williams Exhibit. Through cross promotion at all four museums, a significant portion of the overall attendance would be directed to the Historic Monroe County Jail Museum. Below are rough estimates of attendance over the first three years of management: Year 1: 15,000- 20,000 Year 2: 20,000- 30,000 Year 3: 30,000- 45,000 14 The Historic Monroe County Jail is in an ideal location — within feet of Mile Marker Zero, one block away from Duval Street and roughly halfway between the Custom House Museum and the Key West Lighthouse & Keeper's Quarters Museum. With proper signage and landscaping on the exterior of the building tourists and locals alike will be drawn to the museum. 255.065.

In ranking the proposals, the responsible public entity may consider factors that include, but are not limited to, professional qualifications, general business terms, innovative design techniques or cost - reduction terms, and finance plans. The responsible public entity may then begin negotiations for a comprehensive agreement with the highest- ranked firm. If the responsible public entity is not satisfied with the results of the negotiations, the responsible public entity may terminate negotiations with the proposer and negotiate with the second - ranked or subsequent- ranked firms, in the order consistent with this procedure. If only one proposal is received, the responsible public entity may negotiate in good faith, and if the responsible public entity is not satisfied with the results of the negotiations, the responsible public entity may terminate negotiations with the proposer.

Public-private partnerships; public records and public..., FL ST § 255.065 L1.b (h) Approval of a qualifying project by the responsible public entity is subject to entering into a comprehensive agreement with the private entity. (6) Interim agreement. -- Before or in connection with the negotiation of a comprehensive agreement, the responsible public entity may enter into an interim agreement with the private entity proposing the development or operation of the qualifying project. An interim agreement does not obligate the responsible public entity to enter into a comprehensive agreement. The interim agreement is discretionary with the parties and is not required on a qualifying project for which the parties may proceed directly to a comprehensive agreement without the need for an interim agreement. An interim agreement must be limited to provisions that: (a) Authorize the private entity to commence activities for which it may be compensated related to the proposed qualifying project, including, but not limited to, project planning and development, design, environmental analysis and mitigation, survey, other activities concerning any part of the proposed qualifying project, and ascertaining the availability of financing for the proposed facility or facilities.

Inspection of the qualifying project by the responsible public entity to ensure that the private entity's activities are acceptable to the responsible public entity in accordance with the comprehensive agreement. 4. Maintenance of a policy of public liability insurance, a copy of which must be filed with the responsible public entity and accompanied by proofs of coverage, or self - insurance, each in the form and amount satisfactory to the responsible 255.065.

Periodic filing by the private entity of the appropriate financial statements that pertain to the qualifying project. 7. Procedures that govern the rights and responsibilities of the responsible public entity and the private entity in the course of the construction and operation of the qualifying project and in the event of the termination of the comprehensive agreement or a material default by the private entity. The procedures must include conditions that govern the assumption of the duties and responsibilities of the private entity by an entity that funded, in whole or part, the qualifying project or by the responsible public entity, and must provide for the transfer or purchase of property or other interests of the private entity by the responsible public entity. S. Fees, lease payments, or service payments. In negotiating user fees, the fees must be the same for persons using the facility under like conditions and must not materially discourage use of the qualifying project. The execution of the comprehensive agreement or a subsequent amendment is conclusive evidence that the fees, lease payments, or service payments provided for in the comprehensive agreement comply with this section. Fees or lease payments established in the comprehensive agreement as a source of revenue may be in addition to, or in lieu of, service payments. 9. Duties of the private entity, including the terms and conditions that the responsible public entity determines serve the public purpose of this section. (b) The comprehensive agreement may include: 1. An agreement by the responsible public entity to make grants or loans to the private entity from amounts received from the federal, state, or local government or an agency or instrumentality thereof. 2. A provision under which each entity agrees to provide notice of default and cure rights for the benefit of the other entity, including, but not limited to, a provision regarding unavoidable delays. 3. A provision that terminates the authority and duties of the private entity under this section and dedicates the qualifying project to the responsible public entity or, if the qualifying project was initially dedicated by an affected local j urisdiction, to the affected local jurisdiction for public use.

A financing agreement and any liens on the property or facility must be paid in full at the applicable closing that transfers ownership or operation of the facility to the responsible public entity at the conclusion of the term of the comprehensive agreement. (b) The responsible public entity may lend funds to private entities that construct projects containing facilities that are approved under this section. (c) The responsible public entity may use innovative finance techniques associated with a public - private partnership under this section, including, but not limited to, federal loans as provided in Titles 23 and 49 C.F.R., commercial bank loans, and hedges against inflation from commercial banks or other private sources. In addition, the responsible public entity may provide its own capital or operating budget to support a qualifying project. The budget may be from any legally permissible funding sources of the responsible public entity, including the proceeds of debt issuances. A responsible public entity may use the model financing agreement provided in s. 489.145(6) for its financing of a facility owned by a responsible public entity. A financing agreement may not require the responsible public entity to indemnify the financing source, subject the responsible public entity's facility to liens in violation of s. 11.066(5), or secure financing of the responsible public entity by a mortgage on, or security interest in, the real or tangible personal property of the responsible public entity in a manner that could result in the loss of the fee ownership of the property by the responsible public entity, and any such provision is void. (10) Powers and duties of the private entity. -- (a) The private entity shall: 1. Develop or operate the qualifying project in a manner that is acceptable to the responsible public entity in accordance with the provisions of the comprehensive agreement. 255.065. Public- private partnerships; public records and public..., FL ST § 255.065 L1.b 2. Maintain, or provide by contract for the maintenance or improvement of, the qualifying project if required by the comprehensive agreement. 3. Cooperate with the responsible public entity in making best efforts to establish interconnection between the qualifying project and any other facility or infrastructure as requested by the responsible public entity in accordance with the provisions of the comprehensive agreement. 4. Comply with the comprehensive agreement and any lease or service contract.

(c) The responsible public entity may provide services to the private entity. An agreement for maintenance and other services entered into pursuant to this section must provide for full reimbursement for services rendered for qualifying projects. (d) A private entity of a qualifying project may provide additional services for the qualifying project to the public or to other private entities if the provision of additional services does not impair the private entity's ability to meet its commitments to the responsible public entity pursuant to the comprehensive agreement. (11) Expiration or termination of agreements.- -Upon the expiration or termination of a comprehensive agreement, the responsible public entity may use revenues from the qualifying project to pay current operation and maintenance costs of the qualifying project. If the private entity materially defaults under the comprehensive agreement, the compensation that is otherwise due to the private entity is payable to satisfy all financial obligations to investors and lenders on the qualifying project in the same way that is provided in the comprehensive agreement or any other agreement involving the qualifying project, if the costs of operating and maintaining the qualifying project are paid in the normal course. Revenues in excess of the costs for operation and maintenance costs may be paid to the investors and lenders to satisfy payment obligations under their respective agreements. A responsible public entity may terminate with cause and without prejudice a comprehensive agreement and may exercise any other rights or remedies that may be available to it in accordance with the provisions of the comprehensive agreement. The full faith and credit of the responsible public entity may not be pledged to secure the financing of the private entity. The assumption of the development or operation of the qualifying project does not obligate the responsible public entity to pay any obligation of the private entity from sources other than revenues from the qualifying project unless stated otherwise in the comprehensive agreement. (12) Sovereign immunity.- -This section does not waive the sovereign immunity of a responsible public entity, an affected local jurisdiction, or an officer or employee thereof with respect to participation in, or approval of, any part of a qualifying project or its operation, including, but not limited to, interconnection of the qualifying project with any other infrastructure or project. A county or municipality in which a qualifying project is located possesses sovereign immunity with respect to the project, including, but not limited to, its design, construction, and operation.

(c) This section does not affect any agreement or existing relationship with a supporting organization involving such governing body or system in effect as of January 1, 2013. (d) This section provides an alternative method and does not limit a county, municipality, special district, or other political subdivision of the state in the procurement or operation of a qualifying project pursuant to other statutory or constitutional authority.

(15) Public records and public meetings exemptions. -- (a) As used in this subsection, the term "competitive solicitation" has the same meaning as provided in s. 119.071(1) (b) 1. An unsolicited proposal received by a responsible public entity is exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art.

Public-private partnerships; public records and public..., FL ST § 255.065 L1.b 2. If the responsible public entity rejects all proposals submitted pursuant to a competitive solicitation for a qualifying project and such entity concurrently provides notice of its intent to seek additional proposals for such project, the unsolicited proposal remains exempt until the responsible public entity provides notice of an intended decision concerning the reissued competitive solicitation for the qualifying project or until the responsible public entity withdraws the reissued competitive solicitation for such project. 3. An unsolicited proposal is exempt for no longer than 90 days after the initial notice by the responsible public entity rejecting all proposals.
