History of Item:
On June 10, 2004, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 04-0378 allocating
Community Development Block Grant funds for Economic Development to Small
Business Opportunity Center, Inc. ("SBOC") for Districts 3 and District 4.
The Board of Directors for SBOC resigned in the month of October. Unable to enter
into a 30th year contract with SBOC, the Department of Community Development
issued a request for proposal ("RFP") to implement the Commercial Facade and
Commercial Code Compliance programs of the City of Miami for Districts 3 and 4
that were previously allocated to SBOC.
The RFP was released on October 12, 2004 with a submission deadline of October
25, 2004. A pre -hid conference was also advertised and scheduled to assist agencies
with the RFP process and application.
The RFP produced a total of four funding requests. All proposals received by the City
within the stated deadline are identified below:

Center did not meet the minimum requirement of 70 points; therefore was deemed
ineligible. The ineligible applicant was formally advised, in writing, of the proposal's
determination of ineligibility and of the applicant's right to appeal the determination.
Agencies recommended for funding by the Administration include the two highest
scored applications for each district. The remaining balance of $105,000 is
recommended to be allocated to the City of Miami Commercial Facade Program for
actual construction costs to be paid directly to the contractor.
