BACKGROUND:
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") approve and adopt the attached Resolution authorizing an amendment to the
scope of work performed by Human Resource Staffing of Miami, Inc. to reflect the administration of the
Overtown Beautification Team, as well as other administrative requirements.
The CRA issued a Request For Proposal ("RFP") on April 8th, 2011, RFP Number 11-005, for litter clean-up,
trash pick-up, graffiti removal, landscape installation and maintenance, sidewalk pressure cleaning, street
sweeping and clean-up, and general paint maintenance to include street light and utility poles. A selection
committee was formed to evaluate all proposals submitted, the committee found Human Resource Staffing of
Miami, Inc. ("Provider") to be the number one ranked firm. The Board of Commissioners, by Resolution No.
CRA-R-11-0030, passed and adopted on June 27, 2012, authorized an expenditure of funds, in an amount not
to exceed $200,000.00 with the Provider to perform those tasks set forth in the RFP.
The Provider performed said tasks, and the CRA sought to have Provider continue its performance for an
additional year, by authorizing the expenditure of funds, by Resolution No. CRA-R-12-0064. However, the
Provider seeks to amend the scope of work given that Provider has tailored the services performed to include
administering the Overtown Beautification Team, an on-the-job training component for residents within the
Redevelopment Area.
