ENCLOftioution, supporting documents
It is respectfully recommended that the -CRA Board of Directors rescind resolutions SEOPW/CRA 0 1 -
7 8 and SEOPW/CRA 01-117 and adopt the attached resolution authorizing the CRA Executive Director
to extend the existing City of Miami's Fiscal Year 1999-2001, amended to 2002, Miscellaneous General
Engineering Services contract with HJ Ross in an amount not to exceed $700,000 and further
designating H.J. Ross as the Consulting Engineer to the CRA thereby succeeding the previous
Consulting Engineer.
BACKGROUND
Whereas the existing Consulting Engineer, Civil Cadd Engineers ("CCE"), expended its contract funds,
which was originally capped at $900,000, thereby terminating its contract with the CRA. On September
24, 2001, the CRA Board of Directors voted to grant CCE a 12 month time extension to its contract as
Engineering Consultants to the CRA without allocating any additional funds, for miscellaneous civil
engineering and other professional services.

Your Honor,
305 416 1019 P.03iO3
Via an e-mail received 1/15/02, Mr. David Hernandez, the CRA's Director of Construction
Mangernent, has requested I have a "sit-down" meeting with him "in order to get a better
understanding" of pending invoices that were submitted by Civil -CARD Engineering. Since
October, Mr. IXeniandez promised to hold this meeting. The meeting has never occurred because
the CRA instructed their staff not to meet with Civil-CADD Engineering regarding these
invoices. In fact, a meeting that was scheduled with the City Attorney, the CRA Director, and
staff was abruptly cancelled twenty minutes prior commencing. These fabricated delays seem
intentional and malicious.
Preceding this request from Mr. Hemandez, Civil-CADD and its staff has met with the CRA on
numerous occasions to discuss the aforementioned overdue invoices. In some cases, these
meetings were scheduled fifteen minutes in advance. Now, we find ourselves waiting six months
to meet and further discuss our long overdue invoices.
As you may )mow, Civil-CADD Engineering, is a Small Disadvantaged Black Firm. We take
Pride in doing business with the City of Miami and its agencies because of its commitment to the
developmert of small disadvantaged businesses throughout the community. the CRA is
violating these ethical principles by forcing Civil -CARD to carry these debts without due
justification. At this time, we feel it may be necessary to inform the public of such dealings in
order to prevent the CRA from deliberately damaging other Small Disadvantaged Businesses in
our community. Several attempts by different TV and Newspaper Publications to inquire about
this issue will no longer be averted.
