The Housing and Community Development Department (HCDD) requests that City Council approve the attached Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Master Program Management Services which revises the maximum contract amount from $25,000,000.00 to $11,200,000.00.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2018-0007 approved January 3, 2018, the City entered into a three-year Agreement with two one year options for Master Program Management Services, Contract No. 4600014676, with Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. Under the existing scope of work and task orders, Aptim provides support for the administration and implementation of housing program design and housing program management services for multiple programs. To better define the scope of work, the amendment proposes two changes:
1) The scope of work is now limited exclusively to those services for which the City receives funding from the following four sources:
· FEMA Short Term Housing Recovery;
· CDBG-Disaster Recovery 2017;
· CDBG-Single Family; and
· CDBG-Disaster Recovery 2015.
2) The cumulative value of all Task Orders issued under this Agreement must not exceed $11,200,000.00. The City shall not be obligated to pay for any services that excess the total cumulative Task Order value of $11,200,000.00.
As this is a federally funded program, no fiscal note is required on grant items as stated in Financial Policies.
All work is expected to be completed six years from the award of the contract to the City of Houston from the Texas General Land Office (GLO), HUD’s direct recipient of Hurricane Harvey CDBG-DR funds.
This item was reviewed by the Housing and Community Affairs Committee on 10/16/2018.
