A bid award for 2015 -16 has previously been made, but the selected vendor was <br />unable to complete the work in a timely and/or satisfactory manner. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: As a result that contract was cancelled and we recently re -bid the project. <br />Charles Edwards of Resource Management & Consulting Company manages this TDHCA- <br />funded grant program on our behalf.
