Dpt. of Housing and Community Cevelopment REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:
BACKGROUND
Due to the continuous decrease of available of Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG')
funds in the last few years, Public Service agencies' allocations have been reduced resulting in
reduction of services to residents. The City Commission approved the allocation of funding to
cover public services program shortfall from Social Service Gap program fund account No.,
14010.910199.481000 to Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, Inc., to provide public
services for the City during the fiscal year that started from October 1, 2022 to September 30,
2023.
This agency is familiar with the needs of the community and requirements imposed by the City
and currently performing the services needed by the City. It would therefore be advantageous to
the City to expedite the allocation and waive procurement requirements at this time.
Providing these funds to this organization will allow residents of the community to have an
uninterrupted service from agencies they are already familiar with, which cannot happen with
procurement process, which could take over 30-40 days.
RECOMMENDATION
In light of the above stated, 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 Ordinance, 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.
