Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is delegating authority to the County Mayor or designee to negotiate and execute an amendment to an existing Exchange Agreement with UniCapital Medley QOZB LLC. This amendment will modify minimum design requirements and increase the County's contribution for the Animal Services Department South Dade Pet Adoption and Protection Center. The County's minimum contribution will increase by up to $3,000,000, bringing the total County contribution to a maximum of $6,200,000. An additional $1,000,000 is approved for a design and construction contingency. The total project cost is estimated to increase from approximately $21,000,000 to approximately $25,000,000, with $18,000,000 in private funds and up to $7,200,000 in County funds. The enhancements are intended to improve facility performance, operational reliability, reduce disease spread, and better support the County's No-Kill policy, incorporating specialized systems and best practices for animal sheltering facilities. Resolution No. R-130-06, requiring contracts to be executed by all non-County parties prior to agenda placement, is being waived. The project is located in Commission District 8.
