SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
In January 2007, the City issued a Request for Qualifications for the construction of five homes for the
Northside Neighborhood HOME Program, Responses were received from Bayway Homes and Alta Vista
Homes and a third was detennined non-responsive, as it was received after the submission deadline. A
Selection Committee reviewed the proposals and selected Bayway Homes as the most qualified and
experienced builder for the program,
There was some discussion on having the homes constructed with a non-brick exterior in order to blend
with the existing homes and retain some of the historical character of the neighborhood, due to its
proximity to Main Street. However, the City received input from some of the Northside Neighborhood
representatives and the overall consensus was to continue building brick homes.
Bayway Homes will construct a home at 224 N. 6th Street, more specifically described as Lots 3-4, Block
66, La Porte, Texas. This home is priced at $98,000.00.
Throughout construction, the builder will request draws as key milestones are reached, The City will pay
the builder and then submit a request for reimbursement from Harris County Community and Economic
Development Department (HCCEDD), as stipulated in Section N - Payment Procedures of the City's
executed Agreement with HCCEDD.
Council is asked to consider authorizing a contract between the City and Bayway Homes to construct Plan
#1270 with 1,270 sq. ft.
Action Reauired by Council:
Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing an agreement between the City and Bayway Homes to
construct a home at 224 N. 6th Street.
