2026-11-03

The City of Miami Beach is undertaking a digital transformation initiative to modernize how contractors , developers , businesses , and residents interact with the City ’ s permitting and development services . The City seeks to pilot an AI driven self - service platform ( s ) to automate the permit review process and test the permit completeness for the commercial interior renovation permit process with the intent to expand the solution to other permitting processes . The AI Driven Client platform for Permit Completeness Check will operate in parallel with the City ’ s existing permitting system and is currently not intended to replace the current system of record . The solution will provide applicants with an option to utilize the solution with the pre - submittal readiness review capabilities designed to identify missing documentation , deficiencies , and potential compliance issues prior to formal permit intake . City reviewers will retain full authority over all permitting decisions through the City ’ s system of record , Tyler Technology ’ s EnerGov . The City reserves the right to select a firm ( s ) with whom it may negotiate and execute a contract , subject to City Commission approval . The City intends to award an agreement to one or more firms capable of delivering production - ready , enterprise - grade solutions that meet the requirements of this solicitation . After the award , and as the initial step , the City will conduct a pilot with the awarded firm ( s ) for up to 30 days to deploy and evaluate the commercial interior renovation permit type review process , developing an AI - driven tool for permit completeness verification . At the conclusion of the pilot , the City will select the awarded firm that provided the solution that best meets the City ’ s requirements ; all other firm ( s ) will be terminated . The agreement may include expanding the AI solution to other permitting processes and will have a three ( 3 ) year term , with the option to extend for two ( 2 ) additional one - year periods at the City ’ s sole discretion . During this solicitation process , firm ( s ) will be required to provide pilots , as outlined above , after the initial award , or demonstrations of the proposed solution for City evaluation . Such demonstrations or evaluations may include hands - on review , technical validation , and scenario - based testing using City - provided , representative permit documents . Evaluations may be conducted in a live testing environment at the discretion of the City . The City expressly reserves the right to conduct one or more evaluation rounds and to require additional demonstrations or testing as necessary to fully assess the proposer ' s capabilities and solution performance .
