11 - HOME Program Bid AcceptanceItem No. 11
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council
FROM: Robert G. Vine, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: HOME PROGRAM BID ACCEPTANCE
DATE: November 14, 2022
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. GrantWorks, Inc. administers the program for the City to ensure
grant compliance. To date, 12 Homes have been approved under this contract and 10 of those are
under construction. This is not related to the new HOME Program contract the City has recently
received.
Status of Issue: In October of 2022, requests for bids were issued by the City for the reconstruction
of the final two homes. Three (3) bids were received at the bid opening on November 8, 2022, one
from AT Construction (AT), one from RM Quality Construction (RMQ) and one from James W.
Turner Construction (JWTC). Bids were reviewed in accordance with grant requirements by
GrantWorks, Inc. A recommendation to accept the bid (bid tab attached) from RM Quality
Construction (RMQ) was made. Individual contracts will be entered into by the builder, City and
HOME Program applicants upon State approval.
Budget: The current available grant construction budget is $135,000 - $150,000. The City match
per home is 15% of construction costs. This will come in part from waived fees and demolition
services contributed by the City. The City budget for the program this fiscal year is $80,000.00.
1. Recommendation: Accept the base bid of $134,940.00 and bid alternates for the construction of
two -single family homes through the HOME Program from RM Quality Construction, and
authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute all necessary documents.
