BACKGROUND: The Housing and Community Development Department solicited bids from qualified housing rehabilitation contractors participating in the County's Housing Rehabilitation Program. For the English property, sealed bids were solicited from participating contractors on December 3, 1998 and January 7, 1999. One bid was received and opened on this day. The informal bidding process is governed by the North Carolina General Statues §143-131 and does not require a minimum number of bids. Bid results are attached. Present program procedures provide that housing rehabilitation contracts be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. In June 1998, a housing rehabilitation contract for this house was awarded to MDH Construction Company for $37,140. However, since that time the contractor indicated that due to delays with other jobs, he will not be able to perform this job. Thus, in the interest of timely program implementation, new bids were solicited for the English property. The one bidder for this job was James W. Thames of Thames Construction Company located in Durham, NC. He is not related to the County Engineer, Paul Thames. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends awarding the following housing rehabilitation contracts: Dwelling Unit Bid Amount Contractor English - 205 Efland Ave. $26,925 Thames Construction Co
