TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director SUBJECT: Professional Services for CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Grant DATE: January 27, 1995 FILE: CDBG-WAB.AGN DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Requests for proposals were solicited for consultants to write, and if funded, administrate a FY95/96 Neighborhood Revitalization Grant under the State of Florida Community Development Block Grant program. The Block Grant application cycle is anticipated in March of 1995. Two firms responded as follows: Clark, Roumelis and Associates, Inc., Tallahassee Fred Fox Enterprises, Inc., Palatka ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS A selection committee consisting of Jim Davis, Public Works Director, Terry Pinto, Utilities Services Director and Bob Keating, Community Development Director reviewed the submittals from the two firms and ranked them as follows: 1) Clark, Roumelis and Associates, Inc., Tallahassee 2) Fred Fox Enterprises, Inc., Palatka RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends approval of the above prioritized short list and requests authorization to begin contract negotiation with the No. 1 ranked firm, Clark, Roumelis and Associates, Inc., Tallahassee, Fl. Once an agreeable contract is prepared, staff will present it to the Board for approval. Commissioner Eggert asked how this differs from the neighborhood grant, and Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that this concerns road paving and water line installation to two subdivisions in Wabasso. Commissioner Adams felt this was a great way to provide water to that neighborhood. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0, Chairman Macht being absent) approved the prioritized short list and authorized negotiations to begin with Clark, Roumelis and Associates of Tallahassee and bring it back to the Board.
