BACKGROUND:
A Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment
Agency ("SEOPW CRA"), with attachment(s) by a four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote, after an advertised public
hearing, ratifying, approving, and confirming the Executive Director's recommendation and finding that
competitive negotiation methods and procedures are not practicable or advantageous pursuant to sections 18-85
and 18-86 of the code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended, as adopted by the SEOPW CRA; waiving the
requirements for competitive sealed bidding as not being practicable or advantageous to the SEOPW CRA via
recommendation and written finding attached and incorporated as Exhibit "A", authorizing the allocation of
funding in an amount not to exceed Two hundred Eighty -Nine Thousand Five I lundred Sixty -Six Dollars and
Fifty Eight Cents ($289,566.00) ("Funds"), to support FAMSERSA, LLC, a Florida limited liability company
("FAMSERSA"). FAMSERSA has requested Funds from the SEOPW CRA for the rehabilitation of 212 N.W.
1 1 th Street, Miami, FL 33136 (the "Property.).
The Property is a vacant 2-story mixed use building with commercial/retail space on the ground level and 2
apartment units on the second floor. The building, built in 1958, is in need of rehabilitation improvements. The
owners of the building are requesting support towards the rehabilitation of the currently vacant ground floor
commercial spaces, including storefront improvements, residential units improvements, and site improvements,
including grease trap installation for a future food -service business. Owners have agreed to restrict the rents of
improved apartment units to affordable levels at a rate and term amenable to the SEOPW CRA, and the
installation of the grease trap, site improvements, and new storefront will allow for the commercial space to be
,utilized by new businesses. The project also includes the addition of a mural art installation at the South facade of
the building by a prominent local artist to feature Louis Armstrong, a world-renowned musician who frequented
Overtown in the I950's.
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 Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency 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 the same to the Board of
Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency by a four fifths vote is
respectfully requested.
