Analysis
On August 2, 2011, we purchased the property at 1610 Avenue B from HUD at a price of one dollar ($1). The condition of the property proved to be detrimental to the neighborhood and was not cost effective for rehabilitation. The construction of a new structure on the property that is complementary with the neighborhood and will support future property values is the recommended course of action. Therefore, we are requesting City Council approve the construction of a 1919 sqft home on this property replacing the 1800 sqft structure which was demolished.
Bids were taken as attached and we are requesting the award of this contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Jackson Construction Company, for $117,500. We expect the proceeds from the sale of this property through the 4-Gov/REO program to exceed the cost of construction.
Financial Consideration
Funding in the amount of $117,500 is available in account 300492.61370 for this project.
