Issue: These homes are the final homes to be completed under the Self-Help Center Reconstruction Activity. The total costs for original bids of these 2 homes were over budget.
Solution: Award to the lowest bidder and work towards adjusting amounts using Value Engineering, to a feasible amount within the remaining budget.
Result: Upon completion of these homes the Self-Help Center Program will have successfully completed the Reconstruction Activity required under this Grant Program.
Background:
This reconstruction activity is required under the terms of the Self-Help Center Grant Contract. Three homes will be reconstructed according to Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs program requirements.
Previous Court Action:
On June 8, 2015, Commissioner’s Court awarded three homes under BID 2015-2 to Bronze Builders and authorized staff to adjust costs to amounts that would fall within Self-Help Center’s Program Budget. Bronze Builders has agreed to the adjusted costs.
