HA35560). Ms. Moore recalled for the Authority Board that staff requested a RFQ/RFP for this process and received two proposals. She explained there were three levels of review of the proposals that were submitted. The first level consisted of housing staff reviewing the proposals to make sure they met the minimum qualifications. Since both proposal met the minimum qualifications, staff then went to the next level, which included four members of staff from different departments that do not typically work with Housing properties, Housing Authority Commissioner Heather Horning, and Member Jonathan who is the Housing Authority liaison for the Council, reviewing and evaluating the proposals. Reviewing the proposal was quite a task, but the process did narrow it down to specific things staff was looking for, so after reviewing and tallying the results, it went on to the final Review Committee. This Review Committee consisted of two staff members, a member of the Housing Authority Board, and a member of the Housing Commission, and it was unanimous that RPM Company, who is the existing provider, was the best candidate; they submitted the most comprehensive response. Therefore, staff recommended moving forward with awarding a five-year contract to 3 MINUTES PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY MEETING NOVEMBER 10, 2016 RPM Company. She noted Vice President Teresa Vakili was available to answer questions. Member Jonathan said the process was worthwhile, because if nothing else, everyone learned that the City is getting the best quality service for the lowest possible price, which was important to determine. He recognized and thanked Teresa, because he attends the Housing Authority meetings and there are these ridiculous questions fielded at her, and she always has an answer to the most minute detail. He said he's grateful that the properties are being taken care of and was prepared to move for approval. Member Jonathan moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Approve award of the subject contract for Affordable Housing Compliance/Property Management Services for an initial five (5)-year term for Housing Authority -owned Properties to RPM Company, Lodi, Califomia, in an amount not to exceed $481,248 for calendar 2017, with allowable increases as noted in the contract; 2) authorize staff to finalize contract (also referred to as the "Agreement") with RPM Company, consistent with terms of the RFQ/RFP with non - substantive modifications concurred upon by the Executive Director and legal counsel; 3) authorize Chairman to execute the Agreement and Executive Director to execute any documents necessaryto facilitate contract award and implementation —funds are available in the 2016-2017 Housing Authority Operating Budget.
