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.
