Fikes <br /> Results of Bid Opening ext. 2490 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER- <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To award four housing rehabilitation contracts for the HOME <br /> Housing Rehabilitation Program. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Housing and Community Development Department solicited <br /> bids from qualified housing rehabilitation contractors <br /> participating in the County's Housing Rehabilitation <br /> Program. Sealed bids were received from four contractors on <br /> September 14 , 1993 and opened on the same day. Bid results <br /> are attached. <br /> Present program procedures provide that housing <br /> rehabilitation contracts be awarded to the lowest <br /> responsible bidder. However, please note that the lowest <br /> bidder for all contracts was Farrar Enterprises which is a <br /> new firm approved for the Housing Rehabilitation Program. <br /> Program policies require that any new contractor be placed <br /> on probationary status pending the satisfactory completion <br /> of at least one rehabilitation contract. Therefore, it is <br /> recommended that Farrar Enterprises be awarded only one <br /> contract at this time. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> The Manager recommends awarding the following four <br /> rehabilitation contracts. <br /> Dwelling Unit Bid Amount Contractor <br /> #1 $18,095, CFW Construction Co <br /> #3 $17,965 Farrar Enterprises <br /> #5 $19, 300 Taylor Home Imp. <br /> #10 $19,965 Taylor Home Imp. <br />
