Recommendation
Motion to Approve an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Delray Beach and Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in the amount not to exceed $15,000 for current housing stock review and analysis within the CRA District and the City limits (incorporated areas) of Delray Beach.
Body
Background:
The action before the City Commission is consideration to accept the interlocal agreement from the CRA for a housing study that both the City and CRA desire to determine the availability and quality of the housing stock in both the CRA District and the City as a whole. The study will help guide the City and CRA to implement appropriate housing strategies that will provide for affordable housing for residents, assess the current and future housing needs and expenditure of program funds. In addition, the study will provide a detailed analysis in completing a component of the City's Comprehensive Plan "Housing Element". The term of this agreement shall commence by both parties to be invoiced within 45 days of the receipt of the City. Quotes were solicited for the housing study and award is being recommended to the second lowest bidder, MetroStudy in the amount of $19,500, due to the lowest consultant rescinding their bid as detailed in the Quote Tabulation Sheet. The ILA supports the funding in the amount of 20% of the total but allows up to 50% percent if additional services are necessary.
The acquisition of services is in compliance with the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 36, Section 36.02 (B), "Written Quotations Method".
