Commissioners approve the applicant list, and determined the members of the CATF have no conflicts of interest with any of the applicants. Subsequently, staff brought an item to the BCC on February 18, 2020 so that any conflicts of interest could be acknowledged. At that meeting, the BCC members indicated they do not have any conflicts of interest with the applicants. On August 4th, staff coordinated with the consultant and County Purchasing Division staff and issued invitations to bid for four housing units in accordance with the procedures and requirements outlined in the County's Local Housing Assistance Plan (HAP). Subsequently on August 14, 2020, eight contractors attended the first walk-through inspection with the consultant, Guardian Community Resource Management. By the September 4th deadline for submittal, seven contractors submitted sealed bids for the firstfour homes. Now, the Board is to consider approving the first group of contractors' bids as recommended by the County's CDBG administration consultant. ANALYSIS The County's CDBG HAP requires submitted bids to be ranked by price and that bids be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder within plus or minus fifteen percent (15%) of the pre-bid cost estimates. For two of the four projects (1166 15th Avenue and 4190 391h Drive), the CDBG consultant recommends the County approve the lowest responsible bidder. For the third and fourth projects (4200 46th Place and 7866 104th Avenue) the consultant is recommending the bids be awarded to a contractor that did not submit the lowest bid. Consistent with the HAP requirements, the county gives a 10% bid reduction for calculation purposes to Women Owned .Business Enterprises and/or Minority Owned Business Enterprises (WBE/MBE) in order to provide an incentive to WBE/MBE firms. In both cases the bid reductions place De La Hoz Builders Inc, in the first ranked position. A complete bid tabulation is included as Attachment 1. Outlined in the table below are the consultant's recommendations for bid approval and amounts to be utilized from CDBG funds.
