Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission FROM: �) DATE: : v !�FILE: SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement for Profess ; aal Services with Robert D. Cruz REFERENCES: Cesar H. Odio City Manager ENCLOSURES: E RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commis5ic^ adopt the attached resolutiLn authorizing the execution of an agreement,- in substantially the form attached hereto, with Robert D. C:'uL as Project Manager for professional planning services pLrtaining to :;le Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, with funds from the Spec -gal Revenue Fund: "Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan: FY '86- '87" with further funding subject to the availability of grant funds. BACKGROUND The Planning Department, through the City Manager, applied to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for $203,716 in Local Government Comprehensive Planning Assistance Funds to commence updating the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan as mandated by Chapter 163.3161 F.S. "Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act" as amended through 1986. By Chapter 9J-16 Florida Administrative Code "1986-87 Local Government Comprehensive Planning Assistance Program", the Florida Department of Community Affairs had allocated the said $203,716 to the City of Miami for the program period to September 30, 1987. By Ordinance 10222; February 26, 1987, the City Commission authorized acceptance of the grant, appropriated the funds for purposes of the grant and authorized the City Manager to execute the City of Miami /State of Florida grant agreement. This agreement was signed by the City Manager on February 26, 1987 and was returned to Tallahassee for State execution, which is expected momentarily. The City of Miami/State of Florida agreement commits the Planning Department to prepare inventories and analyses of existing data of 11 planning elements by September 30, 1987, per Chapter 9J-5 F.A.C. "Minimum Criteria for Review of Local Government Comprehensive Plans and Determination of Compliance." The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, as updated, must be submitted for compliance review by September 1, 1988, per Chapter 9J-12 F.A.C. The magnitude of the planning task and the severe time constraints dictate the need for the employment of a Project Manager with recognized credentials in program coordination and grant compliance. Page 1 of 2 87-237 Pursuant to Section 18.52.1. (a)(3) Competitive Negotiations, on January 13 and 14, 1987, the Planning Department interviewed four individuals possessing the -1 ability to perform these services; information was obtained pertaining to experience, qualifications, availability and fees for such services. Robert D. Cruz, a Hispanic male, is an Assistant Professor at Florida International University, who will be on leave of absence from FIU while on this contract. As no new jobs are ;treated under this Agreement, the First Source Hiring Ordinance is not applicable. CHO/SR e Attachments: Proposed Resolution Agreement Page 2 of 2 137-23'i
