10 - HOME Program Constructionof Single Family Homes - bid from Ron Doe, Inc.Item No. 10
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: Grayson Path, City Manager
Charles Edwards, Resource Management & Consulting Co.
SUBJECT: HOME Program
Award Bid to Contractor
DATE: November 9, 2020
BACKGROUND:
Paris participates in the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) HOME
program, which provides reconstruction of existing dilapidated owner occupied housing for
qualified persons. Resource Management & Consulting Co. administers the program for the City
to ensure grant compliance. To date, 40 applications have been received by the City. Seven (7)
homes are currently prepared for submittal to the TDHCA for approval.
STATUS OF ISSUE:
Competitive bids for two (2) floorplans were requested by the City. Two (2) bids were received
by the October 15, 2020 due date, one from Ron Doe Homes and one from Above Grade
Development. Bids were reviewed in accordance with grant requirements by Resource
Management. A recommendation to accept the bids (bid tab attached) from Ron Doe Homes was
made. Individual contracts will be entered into by the builder, City and HOME Program applicants
upon State approval.
BUDGET:
The HOME Program provides a max of $100,000.00 per home and the City matches 15% to give
us a total maximum potential budget of $115,000.00. The City budgeted $80,000.00 to go towards
our match, thus we could fund approximately 8 homes depending on the total cost per house. The
bids came back at $103,950.00 for a 2 bedroom home and $107,650.00 for a 3 bedroom home.
Each site though will have lot conditions that have to be addressed (trees, dirt work, etc.) that will
also impact the total cost, so the bids have alternative options to allow us to stay within the total
$115,000.00 budget per location. For information purposes only, the grant budgets are being
amended by the State to increase their share from $100,000 to $135,000, the City still has to match
the amount 15%, so this would be something we have to keep in mind if ever seeking to access
additional funding from the state.
OPTIONS:
1. Accept the bid from Ron Doe Homes for the construction of single-family homes under
the TDHCA HOME Program grant, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute
all necessary documents.
2. Request additional information to be brought back to the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept the bid from Ron Doe Homes for the construction of single-family homes under
the TDHCA HOME Program grant, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute
all necessary documents.
