RECOMMENDATION
The City Administration ("Administration")recommends that the Mayor and City Commission
("City Commission")approve the Resolution.
This solicitation is under the cone of silence.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On January 17,2018,the Mayor and City Commission adopted a policy governing the selection
of contractors for construction projects awarded under the Statewide Housing Initiatives
Partnership Program (SHIP).Pursuant to the policy,the Administration was authorized to issue a
solicitation,at a minimum,once per year,in order to establish and maintain a pool of prequalified
contractors.The policy also authorizes the City Manager to execute agreements with the pre-
qualified contractors for the project award limits authorized by the City's Local Housing Assistance
Plan (LHAP).
Pre-qualified contractors shall compete for future projects pursuant to the State Housing Initiatives
Partnership (SHIP)program for owner-occupied construction projects funded by the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC)'s SHIP program.Pursuant to the Local Housing Assistance
Plan (LHAP),previously approved by the City Commission,the City may provide income eligible
homeowners with SHIP funds in connection with repairs or improvements that are needed for safe
or sanitary habitation,correction of substantial code violations,or the creation of additional living
space (rehabilitation)or disaster mitigation repairs (collectively,City's Housing Rehabilitation
Program).Pre-qualified contractors must maintain the licensing,insurance,and qualifications

required by the City to be prequalified for future projects awarded through this procedure.
On March 18,2020,an initial pool of pre-qualified contractors was awarded pursuant to the
referenced SHIP Policy,set to expire in March 2025.This Invitation to Bid (1TB)sought to establish
a new contract,through a sealed application process,to maintain a prequalified pool of SHIP
contractors.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the foregoing policy,on December 2,2024,the Procurement Department issued
Invitation to Bid (1TB)2025-023-MP.The Procurement Department issued bid notices to
approximately 34,101 companies utilizing the City's e-procurement system,one (1)addenda was
issued,and 55 prospective bidders accessed the solicitation.Responses were due and received
on January 6,2025.The City received applications from the following eleven (11)contractors:
o A &H Environmental,Corp.
o Building &Remodeling,Inc.
o Byrdson Services,LLC
o Centerline Services Group,Inc.
o Cunano Builders,Corp.
o Ferntec,Corp.
o HRT Construction Group,LLC
o Llorens Contracting,LLC
o Paya Construction Management,LLC
o Resipro,LLC
o Solutions Capital Group,Inc.
The 1TB stated that following the review of applications,the responsive and responsible bidder(s)
meeting all terms and conditions of the 1TB would be recommended for award.The 1TB stipulated
a contract term of five (5)years.
The Procurement and Housing and Community Services Departments determined that all eleven
(11)contractors are responsive and responsible,meet all terms and conditions of the ITB,and
are recommended for award.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT

for future use.When services are needed,staff will seek proposals from the pool of prequalified
contractors.All expenditures pursuant to this contract will be based on approved funding
appropriated to the respec!ive department's budget.The cost associated with the projects is

CONCLUSION
Proactively prequalifying firms that can be contacted for proposals for future work will expedite
the City's response to future needs for construction projects awarded under the Statewide
Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP).Otherwise,waiting to issue a solicitation when a
need arises would significantly delay getting a contractor for construction on board when needed.
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach,Florida,
approve the Resolution,prequalifying the initial pool of contractors:A &H Environmental,Corp.
Building &Remodeling,Inc.,Byrdson Services,LLC,Centerline Services Group,Inc.,Cunano
Builders,Corp.,Ferntec,Corp.,HRT Construction Group,LLC,Llorens Contracting,LLC,Paya
Construction Management,LLC,Resipro,LLC,and Solutions Capital Group,Inc.The Resolution
also authorizes the City Manager to keep the 1TB open to prequalify additional contractors and
delegates authority to the City Manager to add contractors to the pool,provided such contractors
meet the requirements of the 1TB or remove contractors for non-performance.
