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.
