Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
- AUTHORIZE the General Manager, Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department (HCIDLA), or designee, to issue and release an RFP for Tenant Outreach Services for REAP and UMP in substantial conformance with the draft RFP attached to the HCIDLA transmittal dated December 4, 2017, attached to the Council file, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form.
- DIRECT the General Manager, HCIDLA, or designee, to evaluate the responses to the subject RFP and submit the evaluation results with recommendations to the City Council and to the Mayor, including funding levels and necessary implementation instructions.
- AUTHORIZE the General Manager, HCIDLA, or designee, to prepare Controller instructions for any necessary technical adjustments consistent with the Council and the Mayor’s actions in this matter, subject to the approval of the City Administrative Officer; and, AUTHORIZE the Controller to implement these instructions.

The future contracts resulting from this proposed RFP will be fully supported by the monthly REAP Administration Fee of $50 per unit per month in REAP and UMP. The HCIDLA may fund the contracts at $150,000 annually, or $450,000 for three years at the rate of 99 percent ($148,500 annually) from the Code Enforcement Trust Fund, and one percent ($1,500 annually) from the Rent Stabilization Trust Fund for each contract; the total expenditure over three years would be $1,800,000.
