SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
During the Council's December 9, 2002 meeting, Council formally accepted two contracts with the Office of
Housing and Economic Development (OHED). Contract #1 provides $181,900 for the construction of two
"model" homes built on 4 lots.
In February 2003, the City issued a Request for Qualifications for the construction of these 2 homes. The
Selection Committee chose two builders: America's Estate Properties, Inc and Bayou Housing Partners. (When
Contract #2: Down payment and closing cost assistance is executed, these builders may also be asked to
construct one or several of the subsequent 9 homes; however, the builders are responsible for securing
independent financing for the acquisition of lots and construction of the homes.) Bayou Housing Partners will
build a home on N. 7th Street, more specifically described as lots 29 and 30 of Block 77, La Porte, Texas. This
home is priced at $84,000. Throughout construction, the builder will request a draw as key milestones are
reached.
The City will pay the builder and submit a request for reimbursement with OHED as stipulation in Section m. -
Payment paragraph #2 of the City's executed contract with OHED. The City will pay the builder and submit a
request for reimbursement with OHED as stipulation in Section m. - Payment paragraph #2 of the City's
executed contract with OHED. Our 25% commitment will not exceed the budgeted amount.
Council is asked to consider an ordinance authorizing a contract between the City and Bayou Housing Partners
to construct Plan #1485 (1,485 sq. ft.) priced at $84,000.
Action Required bv Council:
I. Approve an ordinance authorizing an agreement between the City and Bayou Housing Partners to construct
house(s).
