Background of Item:
On April 1, 2021, the City of Miami ("City") issued a Request for Proposals ("RFP")
inviting qualified private real estate developers to propose developments of single-family
homes and/or twin homes on certain City -owned parcels of land (collectively, "Project").
On July 8, 2021, pursuant to Resolution No. R-21-0281, the City Commission accepted
the proposals received May 17, 2021, pursuant to RFP No. HCD 2021-03, from RJ
Spencer and RF Construction Group.
On September 13, 2021, pursuant to Resolution No. R-21-0352, the City Commission
approved the allocation of American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARPA") funds in the
amount of $137,639,417.00, which included an amount of $15,500,000.00 to the
Department of Housing and Community Development ("Department").
The allocation to the Department included an amount of Two Million, Seven Hundred
Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,750,000.00) to establish a pipeline of new
construction affordable housing projects, in which the Department would hire several
developers to construct four (4) single family homes in District 4 and another six (6)
homes in District 5 with the potential to add more.
On January 11, 2024, pursuant to Resolution No. R-24-0009, the City Commission
allocated an initial $1,000,000.00 from the total $2,750,000.00 allocated in R-21-0352 to
develop single family and twin homes in District 5.
Pursuant to Resolution No. R-24-0259, adopted on July 11, 2024, the City Commission
approved the allocation of additional ARPA funds from the Department of Housing and
Community Development, in an amount of 952,000.00 for the development of single
family and twin homes projects, in District 5.
On March 2025, RJ Spencer and RF Construction Group (collectively, "Developers")
informed the City that the project's actual cost surpassed its original budget.
Due to unforeseen events, specifically, economic fluctuations, supply chain issues,
changes in labor costs, has led to the cost overruns of the project.
City's Administration recommends the allocation of additional funds, using the sale
proceeds income generated from the sales of infill twin/single family home units located
in District 5, in the amount of $313,778.00 to cover the project cost overruns, as
specified in Exhibit "A" attached and incorporated.
