DISCUSSION: The requested action is similar to that approved by the Redevelopment Agency on January 23, 2006 for the same range of professional services. The previous agreement has expired and it is necessary to authorize a new agreement for this service to be provided as part of the Housing Improvement Programs that the City offers. As indicated to the Agency in January 2006, the necessity of providing a quicker response for contractor progress payments had become an issue. Due to the workload in the Finance Department it was not possible to provide less than a 5-day tom around for the processing of progress payment requests by the con1ractors involved in the program.. Most of the contractor's are small firms and the delay in receiving their progress payments had become detrimental to their ability to pay sub-contractors and to continue to participate in the program. e RDA AGENDA ITEM R~/-It Z:\My DocumoatsIRDAIRebab FiDancial Corporatilll ClIIlJaI:I Apptoval.RDA StafFReport 2.doc\LW\06-1U7 .' Consultant Services with Rehab Financial COI'p07Qtion - Redet1elopmenl Agency StaffRepart - June 25. 2007 In a small rehabilitation loan program such as Seal Beach operates it is imperative to maintain good working relationships with the contractors that particiJl$ in the program. It is difficult to find willing contractor's to participate in this type of program. CivicStone, the Agency's housing consultant, had recommended utilization of the services of Rehab Financial Corporation to provide "Construction Fund Disbursement" and ''File Maintenance" services to allow for a quicker turn-around on the processing and payment of contractor progress payments during a rehabilitation project; basically serving as an escrow officer to disburse the requested progress payments. The Agency authorized entering a ~imnll." agreement in January 2006, and the request is to continue that existing relationship with Rehab Financial Corporation. The proposed cost of these services is $125.00 per project (for the first 10 checks issued), and an additional $10 for each additional check requested. It is highly unusual for there to be more than 1 0 check disbursements on a typical; rehabilitation loan project. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are currently available within the budget of the Redevelopment Agency for this activity - and no budget amendment is necessary. Execution of the agreement will not impact the General - Fund. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Redevelopment Agency Resolution that will authorize the Executive Director to execute on behalf of the Redevelopment Agency the "Professional Services Agreement" to continue the current services provided by Rehab Financial Corporation.
