Turner Construction, Ltd.; And Byrdson Services LLC dba Excello Homes in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000.00 for a three-year contract with two one year options. The Ordinance also authorizes and approves a form of Home Repair Program Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Tri-Party Agreement (“Tri-Party Agreement”) that will be signed to repair each individual house. Each Tri-Party Agreement will be signed by the City, one of the Contractors, and the owner or occupant of a single-family structure who qualifies for participation in the Home Repair Program. The Ordinance authorizes the Mayor to execute the Tri-Party Agreements on behalf of the City. The Director of Housing and Community Development Department and/or the Chief Procurement Officer may terminate the contract at any time upon 30-days written notice to the contractor.
The scope of work requires the contractors to perform rehabilitation, reconstruction, and/or new construction services for single-family owner-occupied homes. Contractors should consider that (i) the scale of the program could increase to serve additional homes depending on available funds; and (ii) the program could be expanded to include other housing construction programs administered by the City. The Contractors were able to submit proposals to perform Housing Rehabilitation, Housing Construction, and/or both services. After execution of the Master Contractor Agreement, the Contractors may be eligible to bid and submit cost estimates for individual housing rehabilitation or construction contracts made available pursuant to a Request for Services, as such contracts become available and as administered by the City.
