and other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficient of which is hereby acknowledged, the
SEOPW CRA and Grantee agree as follows:
1. RECITALS. The Recitals to this Agreement are true and correct, and are incorporated
herein by referenced and made a part hereof.
2. GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and Grantee's compliance
with all of its obligations hereunder, the SEOPW CRA hereby agrees to make available, to Grantee, the
Grant to be used for the purpose and disbursed in the manner hereinafter provided.
3. USE OF GRANT. The Grant shall be used to underwrite costs associated with the Program,
in accordance with Scope of Work and Budget in Exhibit "B", attached hereto and incorporated herein. The

Date written above and shall terminate upon the earlier of one (1) year from the Effective Date written
above, full disbursement of Five Hundred Forty -Four Thousand Three Hundred Five Dollars and Eighty -
One Cents ($544,305.81), or earlier as provided for herein; provided, however, that the following rights of
the SEOPW CRA shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement: to audit or inspect; to
require reversion of assets; to enforce representations, warranties, and certifications; to exercise entitlement
to remedies, limitation of liability, indemnification, and recovery of fees and costs.
b. RENEWAL OPTION. At the SEOPW CRA's sole option, this Agreement and
Grantee's Grant may be renewed for one additional one-year term.

a. GENERALLY. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement, the SEOPW CRA shall make available to Grantee up to Five Hundred Forty -Four Thousand
Three Hundred Five Dollars and Eighty -One Cents ($544,305.81). In no event shall payments to
Grantee under this Agreement exceed Five Hundred Forty -Four Thousand Three Hundred Five Dollars
and Eighty -One Cents ($544,305.81). Payments shall be made to Grantee or directly to vendors on behalf
of Grantee, only after the SEOPW CRA has received and approved requests for disbursement in accordance
with the SEOPW CRA and Grantee approved Scope of Work and Budget.
b. REQUESTS FOR DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT FUNDS. All requests for
the disbursement of grant funds shall be submitted in writing to the SEOPW CRA by Grantee's

Agreement, "supporting documentation" may include invoices, receipts, photographs, and any other
materials evidencing the expense incurred. Grantee agrees that all invoices or receipts reflecting the

all requests it deems to be outside of the approved Scope of Work and Budget. Grantee's failure to
provide additional supporting documentation or explanation regarding expenses incurred, when
requested by the SEOPW CRA, shall serve as grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement,
and Grantee solely shall bear all costs associated with any expenditures not approved by the SEOPW
CRA.
c. CASH TRANSACTIONS PROHIBITED. The parties agree that no payment
will be made to Grantee as a reimbursement for any Program -specific expenditure paid in cash. Grantee
acknowledges that a cash transaction is insufficient per se to comply with record -keeping requirements
under this Agreement.

payments to the Grantee or Grantee's vendors for services not performed or for goods, materials, or
equipment which have not been delivered to the Grantee for use in connection with the Program.

the use of the Grant is subject to specific reporting, record keeping, administrative, and contracting
guidelines and other requirements affecting the SEOPW CRA's activities in issuing the Grant. The
SEOPW CRA agrees to provide notice of said guidelines and other requirements to Grantee in advance
of requiring compliance with same. Without limiting the generality ofthe foregoing, Grantee represents
and warrants that it will comply, and the Grant will be used in accordance with all applicable federal,
state and local codes, laws, rules, and regulations.

obligations or covenants hereunder, or materially breaches any ofthe terms contained in this Agreement,

b. Recover payments made to Grantee;

b. REPORTS. The Grantee shall deliver to the SEOPW CRA reports relating to the
use of the Grant to the SEOPW CRA on a monthly basis, including details regarding supportive services
provided to residents of the Redevelopment Area. Failure to provide said reports shall result in grant funds
being withheld until Grantee has complied with this provision. Thereafter, continued failure by Grantee in
providing such reports shall be considered a default under this Agreement.
c. AUDIT RIGHTS. The SEOPW CRA shall have the right to conduct audits of
the Grantee's records pertaining to the Grant and to visit the Program, in order to conduct its monitoring

Statement of Work (SOW) Document
Introduction:
The senior management team of Human Resources of Miami, Inc. was born and
grew up in Overtown when it was a thriving, exciting, fiscally vibrant environment.
Even though considered a ghetto, the entrepreneurial spirit and respect for one
another was the core of the daily interactions in the community. We believe this can
be the present living standards for today's Overtown residents. The CRA
Beatification Program is the mechanism by which Human Resources of Miami, Inc.
can improve the people, environment, and the economy.
Our Purpose:
Our goals are to help those who have been incarcerated, low income, single parent,
homeless, formerly on drugs or who have never been employed.
Human Resources of Miami's purpose is to contribute to the community and
residents, enhancing first, the environment, secondly, the employee (self-respect and
self-worth), which in turn increases their self-sufficiency and assist the economic
impact to the Overtown community. For example, the employee/trainees spend cash
in the community with their families at the grocery stores, housing expenses, and
general shopping.
In conclusion, HRM intends to function as a change agent by employing at least 13
individuals from Overtown community who in turn will help at least 42 other
persons, a benefit to 55 persons/family members.

Human Resources of Miami, Inc.
Develop the Tasks:
1. Crew Manager should include more community outreach, counseling, job fairs,
externships, internships, and job placement for 50% of the time employed and
managing the crew the balance of the time, serving as the liaison between the
Contract Manager and CRA.
2. The Crew Leader/Field Supervisor is trained with the skills, ability and authority
to manage the crew; this includes the Crew Supervisor/Truck Driver.
3. The Crew/Trainees are provided hands on exposure to landscaping,
environmental, and construction skills for the entire team, by providing externships
with Human Resources of Miami's Landscaping Division and other entities, in the
Overtown community, organized and supervised by the Crew Manager.
4. Support services to the team, include one (1) hour weekly training, such as
budgeting, credit counseling, drug -testing, life -skills counseling, and parenting
skills, so that all trainees can transition from this part-time job to a more permanent,
full-time employment within other parts of the community. The crew will also have
one (1) hour per month scheduled for community services, to assist with developing
within them a desire to help the community and themselves, as we are training them
to be leaders, supervised by the Crew Manager.
5. Applicants not hired will be maintained as a separate pool of individuals, whom
we will counsel and perform assessments of their career options and their unmet
needs socially, such as housing, medical, drug and alcohol dependency, educational
deficiencies, to name a few. These persons will be referred to the appropriate
community services for assistance. They will also serve as the "on call" data base
for daily placement during the duration of the contract, if the originally hired
individuals leave, quit, or are terminated.
6. After completion of the program, all crew members should transition to external
positions, preferably, full-time, and/or educational and vocational options, so that
a new crew can become a part of the CRA Overtown Beautification team. Our goal
is to train/hire, at a minimum, annually, fourteen (14) persons for the daily project
needs.
