AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
On April 17, 2001 the City of Miami ("City") on behalf of the Model City Trust purchased
the property located at 5329 Northwest 17th Avenue, Miami, Florida ("Property"), from
Miami -Dade County's list of lands for $29,854.
On December 19, 2006, the City issued a Request for Proposal ("RFP") for qualified real
estate developers, for the redevelopment of mixed -use housing on six (6) groups of City -
owned properties with a due date of February 9, 2007.
A total of seven (7) responses were received, two (2) of which were for scattered site
lots and therefore non -responsive to the RFP and an additional response was
disqualified because it was received after the 2:00 PM deadline.
All respondents to the RFP were deemed to be ably qualified with the necessary
financial capacity to develop the properties.
Carrfour Supportive Housing, Inc. ("Carrfour") was the only respondent to the RFP for
the lot located at the Property.
A review committee made up of three (3) members from the community and one (1) staff
member from the Department of Community Development and one (1) staff member
from the Liberty City Revitalization Trust, met on April 3, 2007 and recommended
Carrfour for the Property.
Carrfour is a not -for-profit organization founded in 1993 by the Homeless Committee of
the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, and its mission is to provide permanent
housing supportive services to maximize the self-sufficiency of the formerly homeless in
Miami -Dade County and other cities in Florida through joint ventures with various non-
profit organizations.
Carrfour is in good standing with the City.
The Administration is recommending the conveyance, with parcel reverter provisions, of
certain City -owned parcels of land to Carrfour, as described in Exhibits "A, B and C,"
attached and incorporated,
Said property will not be deeded until firm financing is received by the City for the
mentioned project.
The proposed development on this site will be called Osprey Apartments, which will
consist of approximately 4,000 square feet of commercial space, 47,000 square feet of
residential for 50 rental units and 123 covered parking spaces.
Carrfour, will have twelve (12) months from the date of land conveyance to begin
construction and will have an additional eighteen (18) months to complete construction.
