BACKGROUND:
A Resolution of the Board of Commissioners ("Board") of the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA"), with attachment(s), authorizing an amendment to
the Professional Services Agreement ("PSA"), in substantially the form attached as Exhibit `B," between
the SEOPW CRA and Leo A. Daly, LLC., ("L.A.D.") a Foreign Limited Liability Company authorized to
do business in the State of Florida, for architectural services on a 5-story, 24-unit affordable residential
development with ground floor commercial space ("Purpose") at 1611 NW 3rd Avenue, Miami, Florida
33136 ("Property"), authorized under resolution number CRA-R-15-0030, increasing the existing contract
value in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Twenty -Four Thousand Two Hundred Seventy -Three
Dollars And Zero Cents ($224,273.00), thereby allocating a total amount not to exceed Six Hundred
Twenty -Four Thousand Two Hundred Seventy -Three Dollars And Zero Cents ($624,273.00) ("Funds").
On April 28, 2014, the Board of Commissioners, by Resolution No. CRA-R-14-0035, accepted
conveyance of the Property from the City of Miami for the Purpose stated herein. A Request for
Qualifications ("RFQ") No. 15-04 was then issued for the provision of miscellaneous architectural
services, in accordance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act
for the SEOPW CRA-owned properties, and L.A.D.'s proposal, in response thereto, was accepted on July
27, 2015, as one of the most qualified, by Resolution No. CRA-R-15-0030. On November 16, 2015,
Resolution No. CRA-R-15-0052, authorized the execution of the PSA with L.A.D., attached and
incorporated herein as "Exhibit A," for the Purpose stated herein, authorizing funds in the amount of Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($400,000.00).
In July 2017, L.A.D. completed a portion of the scope of services in order to kickstart the permitting
process. However, under direction of the SEOPW CRA, permitting was not initiated and the project was
placed on hold due to funding constraints.
In anticipation of a future bond issuance, which would provide necessary funding to develop the project,
the SEOPW CRA seeks to enter into an amended PSA (Exhibit `B") between the SEOPW CRA and
L.A.D., for the stated Purpose to the Property. The amended PSA (Exhibit `B") with L.A.D. will adjust
the timeline and increase funding in order to allow for necessary design work to comply with code
changes, in addition to updating construction documents and initiating the permitting process.
It is recommended that the Board of the SEOPW CRA approve and adopt the attached Resolution,
authorizing an amendment to the PSA (Exhibit `B") with L.A.D. for the Purpose stated therein.
