Staff said Forest Development submitted an unsolicited proposal in mid-2024 to develop the 1851 Broadway site. The CRA opened a notice of disposition — a public notice of intent to sell or convey property and solicit proposals — on March 19, 2025, with a 60-day response window. A board member noted proposers pay a $25,000 fee to file an unsolicited proposal.

At the meeting, commissioners debated two competing priorities: moving quickly to capture developer interest in an uncertain financing environment, versus casting a wider net to ensure the CRA receives a full set of proposals. Attorney Chris Smith told the board a state statute governs the unsolicited-proposal process and staff confirmed the notice-of-disposition approach was authorized by the CRA's November 2024 direction.

After discussion, the board approved a motion directing staff to prepare an addendum, if legally possible, to extend the notice from 60 to 90 days and to publish nationally. The motion passed 4-1 (Commissioner Davis Paneer: yes; Commissioner Guyton: yes; Vice Chair Mila Anderson: yes; Commissioner Spiritis: no; Chair Shirley Lanier: yes). The motion included instructions for staff to coordinate with procurement and legal counsel on the mechanics and to report back in writing on whether the extension can be implemented without reissuing the entire solicitation.

Procurement staff said extending an open solicitation's deadline is done by issuing an addendum that amends the closing date; staff also said the notice had been advertised in the Palm Beach Post and regional outlets and that national publication could be added to future outreach. Legal counsel agreed to research statutory constraints and provide a written confirmation to the board about whether the extension and expanded publication comply with the relevant statute.

Ending: Staff will prepare the proposed addendum and a memo explaining the statutory process for unsolicited proposals; the board's direction expands outreach while preserving staff discretion to proceed if legal review indicates it is not feasible to extend the current notice without reissuing it.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CRA Meeting April 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The CRA directed staff to seek an addendum extending the notice-of-disposition for 1851 Broadway from 60 to 90 days and to broaden publication nationwide, after discussion about balancing speed of development with wider outreach.

The board first considered a resolution (No. 202507) to amend the Terracon contract to add 15 parcels. Staff said the 15 properties had been omitted from the original contract and that Terracon had been performing landscaping within CRA territory. Several commissioners said the additional 15 sites represented substantial square footage and could have drawn bids from local small businesses if released separately. One commissioner said that handing the parcels to the incumbent without competition was inappropriate.

After discussion the board voted 0-5 to approve directly adding the 15 properties to the contract. The motion died. The board then approved a motion to repost the 15 parcels as a new solicitation with an emphasis on local vendor participation. The motion to re-solicit passed 5-0 (Commissioner Davis Paneer: yes; Commissioner Guyton: yes; Vice Chair Mila Anderson: yes; Commissioner Spiritis: yes; Chair Shirley Lanier: yes).

Procurement staff said the new solicitation will be posted as a standalone request for the 15 sites and that the city has moved from the DemandStar platform to BitNet, which will be used for future solicitations. Procurement said BitNet registration is free for vendors and that the platform will require individual uploads for each required form to reduce incomplete submissions. Staff said they will attempt to align contract terms and renewal options so the different landscape contracts do not expire at staggered dates.

Staff also noted the CRA tightened local vendor preference language to match city code; to qualify for local preference vendors must have a business tax receipt and a certificate of occupancy in Riviera Beach. The procurement director said staff will advertise the 15-site solicitation widely on BitNet and through other outreach channels to encourage local participation.

Ending: The board's decision keeps the existing Terracon contract intact for its originally awarded parcels while opening the 15 additional properties to competitive bidding with added outreach and local preference rules meant to increase local vendor participation.","The Riviera Beach CRA declined to expand an existing landscape contract to include 15 additional properties and instead voted 5-0 to re-advertise those 15 properties with an emphasis on local vendor participation and on the new BitNet procurement platform.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6080404,"FoundCare nearing completion at 3501 Broadway; CRA approves redesign of incubation and restaurant space",1174,1966000,3140000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2947425-7af33bf83dfe94ebe4b228d05bb639d6&start=1966&end=3140","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2947425-7af33bf83dfe94ebe4b228d05bb639d6/thumbnail_1966000.jpg","/articles/6080404/Riviera-Beach/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/FoundCare-nearing-completion-at-3501-Broadway-CRA-approves-redesign-of-incubation-and-restaurant-space","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6080404-32d3148cb864912d8b251310dc4d4b63/orig.mp4?Expires=1771118759&Signature=cGaDJV8dMovfNnpfyZlyh6AvawVMsuNt2abI~oDJo7HcLkvoRPKoEYcjwzXNL3dFbvKENoPBcV3APRNncBzegSpNnImkIpt0xXdS95BuIS~iJ-OXeic-78YRlH85~J-nluLHwGHsbPMDdPhMeEQR6EZ~E7-5HTxDdrkP0QLnwOVcjFhfZ2cEqTR3M3yrzT~AZm93s4LaEPHB6uNs-KfmuCAAV4vGTP0TRgU5Pr50qhKOsLVOFNmSy~T64pO2LAbVOGHA-~vz5kVBegwD8Z~Yfn3czq6oUBGL1BBlqzeNGu4mY639UnVESSMonfWNaVI6MzpV37FHmbKsuA~-PbB2SQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","FoundCare CEO Chris Azeri told the Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency that construction on the new FoundCare health center at 3501 Broadway is nearly complete and the organization anticipates a ribbon-cutting in mid-June.

Azeri said the project will include about 20,000 square feet of building space, with roughly 15,000 square feet dedicated to clinical services and 5,000 square feet set aside for the CRA to use as incubator, administrative and restaurant space. \"The mission of FoundCare ... is to provide quality health care and social services for all individuals and families,\" Azeri said, describing the center as a federally qualified health center that will serve patients with and without insurance.

The CRA-approved redesign covers the 5,000-square-foot CRA/co-op/restaurant portion of the building. The agency voted unanimously, 5-0, to approve resolution 202508, which modifies the contract with Stiles Architectural Group to redesign the incubation, administrative and restaurant spaces. Anita Jenkins, director of neighborhood services, said Stiles Architecture was the firm retained by FoundCare and that the CRA engaged the firm for a seamless design process for the CRA-occupied portion.

FoundCare gave several project and funding details to the board. The original construction contract was about $10.2 million; change orders approached $920,000, bringing the project budget \"closer to $12 million,\" Azeri said. FoundCare's contribution to the project is $3.1 million; private foundations have provided about $7.8 million, and the organization expects to spend roughly $1 million on equipment and supplies.

Azeri described the facility's planned services: adult medicine, pediatrics, women's health including prenatal and postpartum care, behavioral health (psychiatry and therapy), dentistry, pharmacy and an on-site laboratory. He also said a FoundCare mobile van dedicated to Riviera Beach has treated 1,020 unique patients for 1,451 visits since May 2023, with about 32% of those patients coming from Riviera Beach ZIP codes.

Board members and staff clarified how the CRA portion of the building will be handled. Jadel Mercius, CRA executive director, said the CRA will sublease and is responsible for designing and activating its allocated 5,000 square feet; FoundCare built the shell. Jenkins told the board the CRA space will not open at the same time as FoundCare and that staff will install window wraps or other attractive coverings and signage while the CRA area is being completed: \"We will put in some art wrap or window coverings ... that says coming soon, CRA offices, restaurant space, etc.,\" she said.

Commissioners asked for additional factual items that staff agreed to provide later, including exact lot size and the footprint. A commissioner estimated the parcel at about 2 to 2.25 acres; FoundCare confirmed the building footprint is approximately 10,000 square feet on the first floor and noted the site includes a sizable retention pond.

The board approved the Stiles contract modification 5-0 (Commissioner Davis Paneer: yes; Commissioner Guyton: yes; Vice Chair Mila Anderson: yes; Commissioner Spiritis: yes; Chair Shirley Lanier: yes). Staff said construction drawings will begin once the architects receive direction and that procurement will advertise for a general contractor for the CRA build-out.

The CRA and FoundCare representatives told commissioners they will circulate a firm ribbon-cutting date once final inspections and minor contractor items are complete; staff estimated mid-June as the latest likely date.

Ending: The FoundCare center will provide a wide range of primary and specialty services intended to address noted health disparities in Riviera Beach; the CRA will occupy and manage the 5,000-square-foot incubator space and will move forward with contractor procurement and interior design now that the architectural modification is approved.","FoundCare told the Riviera Beach CRA the 20,000-square-foot health center at 3501 Broadway is nearly finished, with a mid-June ribbon cutting expected. The CRA voted 5-0 to approve a contract modification for redesign of the 5,000-square-foot CRA/incubator/restaurant area and confirmed CRA will sublease that space.","actionData","errors"]
