AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
The City of Miami ("City") receives funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") for its Section 8 Programs and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
("HOPWA") Program.
The Section 8 Voucher and Moderate Rehabilitation Programs and HOPWA Program require that all
properties, as part of the program, be inspected during move -in and move -out and annually to meet
minimum housing quality standards.
The City's Department of Community Development issued a Request for Proposal ("RFP") from
qualified and experienced firms for general inspection services including but not limited to Housing
Quality Standard Inspections in accordance with the requirements of 25 CFR 982.401, Housing
Quality Standards ("HQS") Handbook 7420.3 and any other type of inspections in accordance, when
applicable, to the governing South Florida Building Code and other federal, state, and local laws,
rules, regulations, directives, codes and ordinances.
The RFP was issued on January 31, 2011, with a submission deadline of February 28, 2011.
The RFP produced a total four proposals of which the two most qualified applicants are being
considered for funding.
ABDA and Sunshine For All are private nonprofit Sub -recipients defined under the provisions of 24
CFR 570.500(c), eligible to receive CDBG funding assistance from the City to undertake activities
eligible for such assistance under Subpart C of the regulations.
The Section 8 Program and HOPWA programs require on an annual basis the performance of over
1000 inspections and re -inspections, and based on the current level of Department of Community
Development inspection staff, it continues to be more cost and time effective for the uninterrupted
performance of said inspections to be performed by the Sub -recipients.
The Administration also recommends the transfer of CDBG funds in the amount of $50,000 to ABDA
and $50,000 to Sunshine for All from the City's Department of Community CDBG Program
Administration funds, to provide HQS inspection services for the City's Section 8 Housing Choice
Voucher and Moderate Rehabilitation Programs and HOPWA Program.
