6. NEW $USINESS (Cont'd Mr. Butler asked if a lot of these homes are within the existing project areas, and the answer was in the affirmative from Mr. Crighton. Mr. Butler added further, "So conceivably, might this program not continue in fact ?" Mr. Crighton said, "Because we have two additional project areas for fiscal year '76 -'77 under Community Development, we have incorporated the aspects of this program and the other program that was cancelled - -the city -wide emergency repair program - -into the project rehabilitation. The HAO homes will not be inspected by the HAO people. It will have to meet our requirements, which are over and above the Housing Allowance requirements in some cases. In cases, with the excep- tion of homes which are extremely bad with safety problems, I would say 99% of the cases would qualify for Housing Allowance assistance after we rehabilitate the property, and we have incorporated the emergency repair aspect into the project rehabilitation too, but that will not go into effect until the Council appropriates the budgets, probably around September 1st." President Nimtz said he will try once again- -there is a motion made by Mr. Wiggins to pass Items 6g and 6h, do I hear a second? No second was forthcoming, and the Chair declared the motion lost for want of a second, and requested this item also be placed on the Agenda for the next Commission meeting. i. Bids for Contract Set No. 5, Southeast Community Development Housing Program: Per recommendations of the Community Develop- ment Southeast Advisory Board, it was requested that the bids received for Contract Set No. 5 be rejected by the Commission, and the total contract set be re- advertised to obtain competitive bids for bid price comparison, per bid tabulation for Contract Nos. 19, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 44, submitted by Slatile Roofing & Sheet Metal Company. Mr. Brownell advised that most of the bids were $2,000 or more over the estimated price. Mr. Wiggins made the motion that the bids received for Contract Set No. 5 be rejected and re- advertised, seconded by Mr. Cira. Commissioner Robinson asked on these plans when the contracts will be re- advertised, will the homes be re- inspected, the specifica- tions and requirements changed? Mr. Crighton advised they would remain the same. On the question, "Where were the contractors the first time around ? ", Mr. Crighton said all of the contractors are very busy right now and do not have the bonding capabilities. Some of their bonds will be released and then they can rebid on these contracts. Commissioner Donaldson asked, "What if we only get one bidder the next time around ?" The Chair advised then it will be up to the Commissioners to decide whether we will accept the bid. Motion was carried. - 13 - BIDS REJECTED FOR CON- TRACT SET NO. 5, TO BE RE- ADVERTISED, SECD HOUS- ING PROGRAM
