Explanation
BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with Evolved Plumbing and Mechanical, LLC, in an amount up to $200,000.00 to provide residential emergency plumbing, water and sewer, and electrical services as part of the Division of Housing’s Emergency Repair Program using Housing Preservation Bond funds. Approval is also requested for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to execution of the purchase order, starting January 1, 2024.
Emergency Plumbing, Water and Sewer, and Electrical Repair is part of the Emergency Repair Program, operated by the Division of Housing. The program was established to assist low and moderate-income homeowners with plumbing, water and sewer, and electrical issues that constitute an emergency condition. Emergency repairs under this legislation will address small and large-scale capital home improvements that, if not corrected, may require the owner to vacate their home. Most homeowners are at or below 50% AMI as defined by HUD with exceptions allowed up to 80% AMI.
The department advertised RFQ026104 on Vendor Services seeking contractors to provide emergency mechanical repairs on October 10, 2023 with bids being due on November 3, 2023. The Emergency Repair Program is a home repair program operated by the Housing Division.
Emergency action is requested to continue performing needed repairs for residents as quickly as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available within the Development Taxable Bond Fund. An amendment to the 2023 Capital Improvement Budget is required to establish sufficient budget authority within the proper project.
