Fikes, 245-2490 <br />PURPOSE: To award housing rehabilitation contracts for the Orange County CDBG Scattered <br />Site Housing Rehabilitation Program. <br />BACKGROUND: The Housing and Community Development Department solicited bids from <br />qualified housing rehabilitation contractors participating in the County's Housing Rehabilitation <br />Program for the general repair portion of the work specifications. Bids were also solicited from <br />lead based paint abatement contractors for items containing lead based paint as required by <br />federal regulation. <br />The informal bidding process is governed by the North Carolina General Statues §143-131 and <br />does not require a minimum number of bids.

Additionally, <br />all contractors participating in the County's Rehabilitation Program are required to utilize current <br />deconstruction and material recycling methods during the repair process. <br />Bids were solicited from participating contractors for the housing repair work for the three <br />properties and the required lead abatement work for the Starlite Drive property. Bid results are <br />attached. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds are provided by a CDBG Scattered Site Housing Rehabilitation <br />grant awarded by the N.C. Department of Commerce and the HOME Investment Partnership <br />Program. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board award the following <br />housing rehabilitation contracts: <br />Dwelling Unit Bid Amount Contractor <br />225 W.
