From: Carlos I. Suarez
Executive Director
Date: June 17, 2026
File: 19479
Subject: 4/5ths Emergency Procurement —
MEC Building Renovations and
Life -Safety Upgrades
Enclosures: 19479 Exhibit A
19479 Backup
BACKGROUND:
The Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") is responsible
for carrying out community redevelopment activities and projects within its redevelopment area
in accordance with the CRA Redevelopment Plan ("Plan"). On September 13, 2016, the CRA
approved and adopted Resolution No. CRA-R-16-0042, adopting the City of Miami's
procurement ordinance as the process by which any and all services and goods are procured by
the CRA. The CRA purchased the MEC Building, located at 50 N.W. 14th Street, Miami, Florida
33136, within the Redevelopment District in 2016. The CRA is currently executing a planned
relocation of its primary administrative offices to this facility to better serve the community,
centralize operations, and eliminate external leasing costs.
JUSTIFICATION:
In preparation for the administrative relocation, a rapid mobilization is required to ready the MEC
Building for immediate occupancy. It has been confirmed that major construction on the Uni Dos
building will officially commence on July 1, 2026. This impending construction will lead to
immediate threats to health, life, welfare, or safety, which will severely impact the CRA's current
administrative office environment, creating severe disruptions to daily operations and triggering
an immediate need to vacate the current premises at 1401 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida
33136.
Due to this strict July 1, 2026, deadline, there is insufficient time to undergo the standard formal
bidding process for the necessary interior renovations and life -safety upgrades, which typically
spans several months. Failure to complete the MEC Building preparations prior to the
commencement of the Uni Dos construction would result in severe operational disruption,
Packet Pg. 3
fundamentally impairing the CRA's ability to serve the public.
1.1
In light of the foregoing, and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of CRA employees, board
members, visitors, and the public, and to ensure uninterrupted governmental operations, it is
respectfully recommended that the Board of Commissioners adopt the attached Resolution by a
four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote, ratifying, confirming, and approving the Executive Director's
emergency finding and waiving competitive sealed bidding procedures for the emergency
procurement of services necessary to relocate the CRA's administrative offices, and authorizing
the expenditure in an aggregate amount not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($150,000.00) for the services of Mass Construction Corp. and Quality Wiring Services,
Inc.
FUNDING:
A total aggregate amount not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($150,000.00) will be allocated from the "Construction Work in Progress" account, Account
Code No. 10040.920501.169900, for the emergency procurement and expenditure of funds for
the services of Mass Construction Corporation and Quality Wiring Services, Inc., in connection
with the emergency relocation and occupancy of the CRA's temporary offices at the MEC
Building.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
DATE: May 11, 2026
SUBJECT: Emergency Expenditures for Renovations of MEC
This memorandum documents the need for emergency repairs at the MEC.
Construction of the Uni Dos building will officially commence on July 1, 2026, necessitating the
immediate preparation of the MEC Building (50 N.W. 14th Street). The construction will impact
current operations, including utility disruptions (water and sewer run under the adjacent property)
and potential health and safety risks.
This condition poses an immediate risk to life, safety, and property, making standard competitive
bidding impracticable.
The Omni CRA will proceed with emergency procurement in accordance with City of Miami
requirements and for the retrofit of an existing building to serve as a replacement office.
Mass Construction Corporation and Quality Wiring Services, Inc. have been selected due to their
familiarity with the building and prior work, allowing for immediate and efficient response.
This serves as the Executive Director's written finding of an emergency.
If required based on the contract amount, this action will be presented to the Board of
Commissioners of the CRA for ratification at the next available meeting.

Sec. 18-90. - Emergency procurements.
1.1.b
In case of emergency, it is not advantageous or practicable for the city to use competitive bidding
methods. Therefore, the city may purchase directly those goods or services whose immediate procurement
is essential to the life, health, welfare, safety or convenience of the city. Such emergency procurements shall
nevertheless be made with such competition as may be practicable under the circumstances.
(1) In seeking a waiver of competitive bidding methods for emergency procurements that do not
exceed $25,000.00, the head of the using department or office shall submit to the chief
procurement officer in writing a full explanation of the circumstances of the emergency and
the reasons for selection of a particular firm, along with a list of others which may have been
solicited, with an approved requisition by the director of the requesting department.
(2) In seeking the waiver of competitive sealed bidding methods for emergency procurements
exceeding $25,000.00, the head of the using department or office shall submit to the chief
procurement officer and the city manager in writing a full explanation of the circumstances of
the emergency and the reasons for selection of a particular firm, along with a list of others
which may have been solicited, and certification of fund availability from the director of the
department of management and budget. The city manager may then waive competitive
sealed bidding requirements after making a written finding, supported by reasons, that an
emergency exists. Such finding must be ratified by an affirmative four -fifths vote of the city
commission or an unanimous vote of the quorum that exists because of either abstentions or
vacancies resulting from resignation, death, suspension, or physical incapacitation at the next
available city commission meeting.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Code, the city manager may direct
the chief procurement officer to purchase directly those goods and/or services required by
the urban search and rescue task force when activated to perform its obligations under the
existing provisions of the memorandum of understanding with the state and/or the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Such emergency procurements shall nevertheless be
made with such competition as may be practicable under the circumstances. If necessary, the
city manager may waive competitive sealed bidding methods for such emergency
procurements, after making a written finding, supported by documentation that the urban
search and rescue task force has been officially activated. Such finding and waiver must be
ratified by an affirmative four -fifths vote of the city commission or an unanimous vote of the
quorum that exists because of either abstentions or vacancies resulting from resignation,
death, suspension, or physical incapacitation at the next regularly available city commission
meeting for contracts exceeding $25,000.00.
All emergency awards shall be filed and maintained by the purchasing department as a permanent and

From: Carlos I. Suarez
Executive Director
Date: June 17, 2026
File: 19480
Subject: Paramount Security Services
Enclosures: 19480 Backup
BACKGROUND:
The Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") is responsible
for carrying out community redevelopment activities and projects within the Omni
Redevelopment Area in accordance with the CRA Redevelopment Plan. The CRA owns and/or
maintains properties within the Omni Redevelopment Area, including the property commonly
known as the Citizens Bank Building, located at 1367 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida.
On or about July 21, 2022, the CRA entered into a service agreement with Paramount FI.
Security Group d/b/a Golden Security Guard ("Paramount Security") for the provision of
professional security guard services. In November 2022, 24/7 security guard services were
requested at the Citizens Bank Building to protect the property from vandalism, intruders, crime,
theft, and other safety concerns.
Paramount Security provided security guard services to the CRA, including services at the
Citizens Bank Building and other CRA-related properties. On October 16, 2023, the then -
Executive Director issued a Notice of Termination terminating the security services being
provided by Paramount Security.
JUSTIFICATION:
Paramount Security has submitted a claim for payment in the total amount of Ninety -Four
Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Two and 00/100 Dollars ($94,392.00), consisting of Invoice
No. GSG-CPP-2308 in the amount of Sixty Two Thousand Eight and 00/100 Dollars
($62,008.00) and Invoice No. GSG-CPP-2319A in the amount of Thirty Two Thousand Three
Hundred Eighty Four Dollars and 00/100 ($32,384.00). There is a dispute as to whether, and to
what extent, this amount is owed by the CRA, and the claim is therefore a disputed claim.
Packet Pg. 10
1.2
The security services were previously rendered prior to the tenure of the current Executive
Director and were provided for the protection and preservation of CRA and CRA-related
properties. Subsequent to the termination of Paramount Security's services, the Board of
Commissioners adopted CRA Resolution No. CRA-R-24-0013 at its February 8, 2024 meeting,
authorizing the accessing of City of Miami Contract No. RFP 985381(28) for the provision of
security guard services with Kent Security Services, Inc.
Following negotiations with Paramount Security, the company has agreed to resolve the dispute
for a total settlement amount of Eighty -Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($85,000.00). In light
of the foregoing, and to avoid the cost, delay, and uncertainty of litigation, it is respectfully
recommended that the Board of Commissioners adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the
Executive Director to settle and resolve the disputed claim of Paramount Security, consistent
with the authority to settle and resolve contract and breach of contract controversies under
Section 18-105 of the City of Miami Code of Ordinances, by payment of an amount not to
exceed Eighty -Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($85,000.00) in full and final settlement and
satisfaction of the claim, and conditioned upon Paramount Security's execution of a settlement
agreement and general release in favor of the CRA in a form approved by the General Counsel.
The recommended settlement reflects the reasonable value of security guard services actually
rendered to and accepted by the CRA, and is not an admission of liability by the CRA or a
concession that the amount claimed is due and owing. The Board further finds that settlement of
the disputed claim on these terms is in the best interest of the CRA.
FUNDING:
A total amount not to exceed Eighty -Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($85,000.00) will be
allocated from Account No. 10040.920501.534000.0000.00000, titled "Other Contractual
Services," subject to the availability of funds and budgetary approval.
