Bid <br />results are attached. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Orange County 2004 CDBG Scattered Site Program and the Town <br />of Chapel Hill CDBG Program provides grant funding for these repair projects. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends awarding the following housing <br />rehabilitation contracts: <br />Dwelling Unit Bid Amount Contractor <br />108 Glosson Circle, Carrboro $34,770 William Long Construction Co, <br />400 McDade Street, Chapel Hill $18,120 Structure Building Company <br />309 Mitchell Lane, Chapel Hill $45,685 Structure Building Company
