Explanation
BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with Mosaic Community Planning. The contract will allow Mosaic to assist the City with the development of the Assessment of Fair Housing for the five-year period 2018-2022. This assessment is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as the City is a recipient of funding from HUD's community planning division. Mosaic will identify housing and non-housing needs that are barriers to housing choice, develop five-year goals and strategies to reduce housing discrimination and create communities of choice, and prepare a final document for public review and submission to HUD. The amount of the contract will be $58,235.
RFQ007700 was published as a Request for Proposals on December 28, 2017. Four submissions were received by January 25, 2018. An evaluation committee of three members scored the proposals based upon the criteria included in the RFP. Two finalists were invited to present to the committee and submit pricing. After evaluation of the committee’s scores, the Finance and Management Director requested that the City negotiate with Mosaic Community Planning, LLC.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency Legislation is requested in order to complete the plan in a timely manner and meet submission deadlines.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this project was originally budgeted in the Department of Development for the 2018 Community Development Block Grant proposed use of funds (Ordinance 3237-2017). $58,235 will be transferred from the Department of Development to the Department of Finance and Management.
