Responses were received from Bayway Homes and Alta Vista <br />Homes and a third was determined non-responsive, as it was received after the submission deadline. A <br />Selection Committee reviewed the proposals and selected Bayway Homes as the most qualified and <br />experienced builder for the program, <br /> <br />There was some discussion on having the homes constructed with a non-brick exterior in order to blend <br />with ~e existing homes and retain some of the historical character of the neighborhood, due to its <br />proximity to Main Street. However, the City received input from some of the Northside Neighborhood <br />representatives and the overall consensus was to continue building brick homes. <br /> <br />Bayway Homes will construct a home at 210 N. 6th Street, more specifically described as Lots 9-11, <br />Block 66, La Porte, Texas. This home is priced at $100,000. <br /> <br />Throughout construction, the builder will request draws as key milestones are reached. The City will pay <br />the builder and then submit a request for reimbursement from Harris County Community and Economic <br />Development Department (HCCEDD), as stipulated in Section IV - Payment Procedures of the City's <br />executed Agreement with HCCEDD. <br /> <br />Council is asked to consider authorizing a contract between the City and Bayway Homes to construct Plan <br /># 1317 "The River Berry" with 1,31 7 sq, ft. <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br /> <br />Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing an agreement between the City and Bayway Homes to <br />construct a home at 210 N. 6th Street. <br /> <br />ADProved for City Council Ae:enda <br /> <br /> <br />Jt/rl/07 <br />Date { { <br />
