Authorize the City Manager or his designee to amend the agreements if necessary to achieve program goals provided the amendment is within the scope of the program and in compliance with City policies and applicable laws and regulations. DISCUSSION: The City Manager's Directions Home Division approached the Purchasing Division to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking Firms to: 1) increase or maintain permanent supportive housing; 2) quickly house people in permanent housing; or 3) improve overall system capacity. The RFP consisted of specifications explaining the need for various housing programs and overall improvement of the homeless system. Proposals were scored based on the strength of the proposed program, program performance, outcomes and quality, organizational capacity of the agency, and budget. The RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 10, June 17, June 24, July 1 and July 8, 2020. The City closed the RFP on July 9, 2020. The City received 17 responses. Staff from the Directions Home Division and Neighborhood Services Department evaluated the proposals and found the below listed firms to be experienced and well equipped to perform the needed services. A waiver of the goal M/WBE subcontracting requirement is approved by the Office of Business Diversity, in accordance with the M/WBE or BIDE ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
