Background Information:
Currently the City of Miami ("City") is experiencing an affordable housing crisis due to a) lack of available
affordable housing units within the City, and b) the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown which created a rise in
unemployment within the City and the inability for residents to afford and pay their rent. The procurement process
outlined in Florida Statute (F.S.) 287.055, known as the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act ("CCNA") for
architectural and engineering services ("A&E") can take up to nine (9) months. Such a delay is not in the best
interest of the City and its constituents, as there is an opportunity to create immediate affordable housing units
at 1251 S.W. 7tn Street, Miami, FL, and 1380 N.W. 6th Street, Miami, FL, that will provide much needed relief for
City residents urgently seeking affordable housing.
F.S. 287.055, CCNA, does however permit exemptions to these requirements in emergency situations, as stated
in Section 3(a)1 entitled "Public Announcement and Qualifications Procedures". Therefore, pursuant to the City
Manager's emergency finding, certifying that the lack of affordable housing units in the City of Miami is a valid
public emergency; it is most advantageous for the City to waive the competitive sealed bidding procedures and
qualifications process pursuant to F.S. 287.055, 3(a)1 of CCNA, for the provision of emergency A&E services for
these affordable housing projects.
