ANALYSIS
The State of Florida enacted the William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act, Chapter 92 -317 of
Florida Sessions Laws, allocating a portion of documentary stamp taxes on deeds to local
governments for the development and maintenance of affordable housing. The State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Act, §420.907- 420.9079, Florida Statutes (1992), and Rule Chapter
67 -37, Florida Administrative Code, requires local governments to develop a one -to three -year Local
Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) outlining the strategies jurisdictions will use to utilize funding. The
LHAP also establishes the maximum SHIP funds allowable for each programmatic strategy.
The Office of Housing and Community Services (HCS) administers SHIP funds, participant eligibility,
contractor eligibility and program compliance. HCS determines the eligibility for all applicants by
assessing income and property standards. All awards are disbursed via a deferred payment loan,
secured by a mortgage agreement with restrictive covenant and promissory note. Resolution No.
2016 -29663 approved the maximum award amounts for purchase assistance and rehabilitation
assistance.
The Mayor and City Commission approved and adopted the City's LHAP for Fiscal Years 16/17 and
18/ 19 via Resolution No. 2016 - 29663, pursuant to the requirements of the Act and the Rule, which
Page 224 of 923
DocuSign Envelope ID: 2FE94A69-5ADD-408A-AECA-3EF879222C91
LHAP currently provides an award limit of $70,000 for owner - occupied rehabilitation projects.
Pursuant to the Citywide Procedure P.O. 16.02, the City's threshold for a department to procure
goods and services is limited to $50,000 and there must be a formal competitive solicitation (IT B,
RFP, RFQ, ITN) approved by the City Commission and the Procurement Department. HCS would
like to administer the bid process for the award of project sums exceeding $50,000 (subject to the
award limits set forth in the City's LHAP), by establishing a pool of qualified contractors through the
use of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process, to be issued at least once a year. The
established list of qualified contractors can be used by the City and the eligible homeowners in
connection with rehabilitation projects or disaster relief projects awarded through the SHIP program.
Any purchase order above $50,000 will require the City Manager's approval.
HCS disburses funds to the eligible contractor via a purchase order and payments are disbursed in
three installments and a final payment.
HCS and the Procurement Department drafted a policy that is intended to:
Ensure homeowners have access to qualified contractors for all owner- occupied repairs;
Ensure that projects are awarded in a competitive manner that maximizes available funds;
Ensure homeowners have a platform for performance evaluation of contractors;
Ensure contractors have clear guidelines to complete work and receive timely payments;
Ensure vendors comply with Building Department, Code Compliance and insurance
requirements.
This policy is in accordance with State and Federal requirements and seeks to expedite the
procurement process for projects. This policy seeks to streamline the expenditure process, by
creating a list of eligible contractors and improving the quality control of rehabilitation projects.
Contractors seeking to participate in the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program must be prequalified
through the City's SHIP Contractor Prequalification Process. Annually, the City will issue a Request
for Qualifications (RFQ) for those contractors interested in being prequalified to submit their
statements of qualification for the City's consideration. At a minimum, contractors must maintain the
licensing, insurance, and qualifications required by the City to be prequalified for future projects
awarded through this procedure. The Procurement Department will administer the application
process on an annual basis.
In addition, the City contracts a third -party consultant for project management services. The Project
Manager will assist the SHIP coordinator in drafting the Specification of Work, project
monitoring /evaluation and project closeout. The Project Manager will assist SHIP coordinator and
any other City staff in the evaluation of the bids submitted by the General Contractor. The Building
Department can be provided with a copy of the Specification of Work for their review and any other
applicable documents, in order to facilitate the expediting of applicable building permits.
The City's SHIP Coordinator shall seek at least three written quotes from pre - qualified contractors
and shall make reasonable efforts to maximize competition, including seeking quotes from all pre-
qualified contractors. In rare cases when three quotes cannot be obtained, the approval of the City
Manager shall be required.
Once HCS selects the lowest and most responsive bidder, a purchase order shall be executed
between the City, the selected contractor and the homeowner. At a minimum, the purchase order
shall state the payment schedule, scope of work, and schedule of work. Additionally, the homeowner
will execute the permit application and the notice of commencement. The Contractor must record the
Notice of Commencement.
Page 225 of 923
DocuSign Envelope ID: 2FE94A69-5ADD-408A-AECA-3EF879222C91
Progress and final payments to the Contractor shall be approved by the City only after the work has
been inspected by the Project Manager and determined to comply with the contract and the project
bid specifications. The request for payments shall be in three installments, according to the duration
of the project. The Contractor will provide his /her invoice to the SHIP Coordinator. If there are
pending change orders that do not increase the project amount greater than the amount stipulated
herein, they may be approved administratively by the Department.
The policy also defines the role of HCS in the case of a dispute between a Contractor and the
homeowner. All disputes not resolved by program staff should be reported to Florida Housing.
Finance Corporation for possible resolution before the move to arbitration. All unsettled claims or
disputes between the Property Owner and the Contractor arising out of or related to the work shall
be submitted to arbitration under the laws governed by the State of Florida. Notice of the demand for
arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to this agreement, and shall be made within a
reasonable time after a dispute has arisen.
Once the project is completed, City staff will coordinate the closeout, along with the Project Manager.
If all program requirements are met, the final release of retainage will be processed. If, at any time
during the project, HCS finds that a Contractor fails to meet his /her obligations with the homeowner
and /or the City, and does not remedy the situation as stipulated by the Department, the Contractor
will receive a default notice and opportunity to cure. If the violation is not remedied, the Contractor
will be removed from the list and will be prohibited from participating for one year in the City's
Housing Rehabilitation Program.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the resolution to authorize the City Manager to approve
bids and execute agreements with the prequalified contractors for project sums in excess of $50,000,
and further require the City Manager to issue a Letter to Commission each fiscal quarter delineating
any approved bids/ agreements which exceed the $50,000 threshold.
