prequalification and counseling program [to] provide homeownership training session, market public sector
assistance programs, and assist in pre -qualifying home buyers"; and
C. WHEREAS, Section 2, Principle 4 on page 14 of the Plan further provides that the
"neighborhood has to retain access to affordable housing even as the neighborhood becomes more desirable
to households with greater means" as a stated redevelopment principle; and
D. WHEREAS, the CRA has an immediate need for homeownership preparedness and
qualification services to ensure that residents in the Redevelopment Area are prepared, educated and
qualified to participate in the CRA's homeownership program as the CRA seeks to transform the

community. The CRA's homeownership program is anticipated to begin with the sale of two (2) homes

E. WHEREAS, Consultant will conduct a homeownership qualification program using either

Area. In addition, Consultant will work with various lenders in assisting qualified participants to obtain
mortgage loans. Upon completion of each session, participants will receive a HUD certificate for

G. WHEREAS, Consultant has special capabilities and knowledge regarding Services needed
by CRA and possesses all necessary qualifications and expertise to perform same; and

agents or subcontractors (collectively referred to as "Consultant"); (ii) the failure of Consultant to comply

practicable, prior to the performance of Services hereunder, provided, however, that Consultant shall at any
time upon request by CRA file duplicate copies of the policies of such insurance with the CRA.
If, in the reasonable judgment of CRA, prevailing conditions warrant the provision by Consultant
of additional liability insurance coverage or coverage which is different in kind, CRA reserves the right to
require the provision by Consultant of an amount of coverage different from the amounts or kind previously
required and shall afford written notice of such change in requirements thirty (30) days prior to the date on
which the requirements shall take effect. Should Consultant fail or refuse to satisfy the requirement of
changed coverage within thirty (30) days following CRA's written notice, this Agreement shall be
considered terminated on the date the required change in policy coverage would otherwise take effect. Upon
such termination, CRA shall pay Consultant compensation for services rendered, and expenses incurred,

any consequential or incidental damages.

or fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, then Consultant shall be in default. Upon the occurrence
of a default hereunder, CRA, in addition to all remedies available to it by law, may immediately, upon
written notice to Consultant, terminate this Agreement whereupon all payments, or other compensation
paid by CRA to Consultant while Consultant was in default shall be immediately returned to CRA.
Consultant understands and agrees that termination of this Agreement under this section shall not release
Consultant from any obligation accruing prior to the effective date of termination. Should Consultant be
unable or unwilling to commence to perform Services within the time provided or contemplated herein,
then, in addition to the foregoing, Consultant shall be liable to CRA for all expenses incurred by CRA in
preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, as well as all costs and expenses incurred by CRA in the re -
procurement of Services, including consequential and incidental damages.
15. DISPUTES. Consultant understands and agrees that all disputes between Consultant and
CRA based upon an alleged violation of the terms of this Agreement by CRA shall be submitted to CRA's
Executive Director for his/her resolution, prior to Consultant being entitled to seek judicial relief in
connection therewith. In the event that the amount of compensation hereunder exceeds $4,500, the decision
of CRA's Executive Director shall be approved or disapproved by CRA's Board of Commissioners.
Consultant shall not be entitled to seek judicial relief unless: (i) it has first received CRA's Executive
Director's written decision, approved by CRA's Board of Commissioners if the amount of compensation
5
hereunder exceed $4,500; or (ii) a period of sixty (60) days has expired, after Consultant's submission of a
detailed statement of the dispute, accompanied by all supporting documentation, to CRA's Executive
Director (ninety (90) days if CRA's Executive Director's decision is subject to CRA's Boards' approval);
or (iii) CRA's Board of Commissioners has waived compliance with the procedure set forth in this section
by written instrument, signed by CRA's Executive Director.
16. CRA'S TERMINATION RIGHTS.
a. The CRA shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in its sole discretion, at
any time, by giving written notice to Consultant at least five (5) calendar days prior to the effective date of
such termination. In such event, the CRA shall pay to Consultant compensation for services rendered and
expenses incurred prior to the effective date of termination. Such payment shall be determined on the basis
of the hours or the percentage of the total work performed by Consultant up to the time of termination
certified in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event partial payment has been made
for professional services not performed, Consultant shall return such sums to CRA within ten (10) days
after receipt of written notice that said sums are due. In no event, shall CRA be liable to Consultant for any
additional compensation, other than that provided herein, nor for any consequential or incidental damages.

occurrence of an event of default hereunder. In such event, CRA shall not be obligated to pay any amounts
to Consultant and Consultant shall reimburse to CRA all amounts received while Consultant was in default
under this Agreement.
17. FORUM. In case of any controversy or dispute arising out of this Agreement, both parties
agree and accept to be subject to the jurisdiction and competence of the Administrative Authorities and
Courts in Miami -Dade County Florida as the exclusive forum for such controversy or disputes forsaking
any other jurisdiction which either party may otherwise be entitled to claim.

individual shall, solely by reason of his/her race, color, sex, religion, age, handicap, marital status or
national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied services, or be subject to discrimination under
any provision of this Agreement.

a. Consultant is aware of the conflict of interest laws of the City of Miami (Miami
City Code Chapter 2, Article V), Miami -Dade County, Florida (Miami -Dade County Code, Section 2-11.1
6
et. seq.) and of the State of Florida as set forth in the Florida Statutes, and agrees that it will fully comply
in all respects with the terms of said laws and any future amendments thereto.

exercising any functions or responsibilities in connection with this Agreement, has any personal financial
interests, direct or indirect, with CRA. Consultant further covenants that, in the performance of this
Agreement, no person or entity having such conflicting interest shall be utilized in respect to services
provided hereunder. Any such conflict of interest(s) on the part of Consultant, its employees or associated
persons, or entities must be disclosed in writing to CRA.
c. Consultant shall decline proffered employment by another client(s) if the exercise
of Consultant's independent professional judgment on behalf of CRA, on any matter directly related to
Services, will be or is likely to be adversely affected by the acceptance of such proffered employment;
provided, however, that Consultant may represent a client(s) with an interest adverse to CRA if the subject
matter of such representation is not related to Services described in this Agreement and if CRA waives any
conflict or alleged conflict with respect to such representation. Should Consultant request CRA's waiver of
any conflict of interest, Consultant shall provide CRA, in writing, all information pertaining to such
potential conflict for CRA's evaluation.
d. Consultant shall not delegate the substantive obligations to be undertaken
hereunder to any person or entity who exercises any functions or responsibilities on his/her personal behalf
or on behalf of any other client(s) if the subject matter of such representation is related to Services and if
such representation will or is likely to compete with the interests of CRA, or adversely affect the interests
of CRA and the obligations undertaken by Consultant hereunder.
20. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assigned by Consultant, in whole or in part,
without the prior written consent of CRA, which may be withheld or conditioned, in CRA's sole discretion.
