Re: Wynwood Affordable Housing Grant
Background
The Miami City Commission approved a contribution by Westdale Wynwood, LP ("Developer") of a total amount of
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for neighborhood improvements to a neighborhood revitalization organization
or community revitalization trust service in District 5. The Liberty City Trust was designated as the recipient
organization to assist low-income homeowners ("Wynwood Housing Grant Program) of owner -occupied dwellings
in District 5 with life safety, resiliency, flood prevention, sustainability, hurricane hardening, and other necessary
affordable housing improvements such as, but not limited to, installations of high -impact windows and doors, new
energy efficient HVAC systems, new efficient electrical and plumbing systems, new or repaired roofs, and other
necessary repairs for dwellings owned and occupied by low income homeowners.
Dynamic Community Development Corporation ("Dynamic") is a 501(c)3 community -based organization dedicated
to community and economic development and has been assisting small businesses and homeowners for over 20
years in District 5. Dynamic is a sufficiently qualified and respected firm that has the experience and programmatic
knowledge to assist the Liberty City Trust in implementing the Wynwood Housing Grant Program.
As Dynamic is familiar with the needs of the community it would also be advantageous for the City to waive
procurement requirements and allow this organization to provide the services needed immediately, with no added
time for the procurement process, which could significantly delay program implementation.
Recommendation
In light of the above, approval of a waiver of the formal requirements of competitive sealed bidding methods as not
being practicable or advantageous to the City as set forth in the City Code of Ordinances, as amended, specifically
Section 18-85(A), and the affirmation of these written findings and the forwarding of the same to the City
Commission for ratification by a four -fifths vote is respectfully requested.
