D . B. G . #01DB-79-04-20-01 -H03 <br /> Dear Ms . Boyette : <br /> Please consider this a request for a six (6) month time extension on the above referenced <br /> Community Development Block Grant project. This will extend the contract from July 28 , 2006 <br /> to January 28 , 2007 . <br /> Due to the hurricanes that affected the County in the past two (2) years , the County has had <br /> difficulty in procuring contractors willing to bid on the CDBG construction projects. Most <br /> qualified contractors were busy with new construction or with hurricane repairs from last year's <br /> storms. Recently, however, two new contractors bid on home rehabilitation projects associated <br /> with this grant . This should assist the county in completing the CDBG project within the <br /> proposed time extension . <br /> While the original contract called for sixteen ( 16) homes to be addressed , the County <br /> anticipates addressing twenty-three (23) homes under this program . As of this time , the County <br /> has completed fifteen ( 15) homes . Construction of six (6) additional homes is underway and <br /> should be completed within 60 days . In addition , contracts were recently signed on two (2) <br /> additional homes . This will obligate all the funds . <br /> 1840 2r Street, Suite N-158 <br /> Vero Beach, FL 31960-3365 <br /> Telephone: 772-226-1490 FAX: 772- 770-5334 <br /> Suncom: 224-1490 e-mail: kmassung@ircgov. cone <br />
