Background/Discussion
At the August 5, 2013 regular Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) meeting,the HRA heard a
presentation about the housing programs in Coon Rapids Brooklyn Park.The HRA also approved hiring
the Central Minnesota Housing Partnership (CMHP) to serve as the HRA's housing consultant to
develop and administer an Elk River internally funded housing program and assist the city in applying for
the Small Cities Development Program grant. The HRA met in a series of workshops to discuss what
they would like to see in an Elk River housing program.
More recently, during an April 7, 2014 workshop, the HRA,by general consensus,agreed to fund the new
housing program at$100,000 per year, for the next three years,under contract with CMHP to administer
the program. It was also decided that no additional changes needed to be made to the proposed Elk River
Housing Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Policies and Procedures.These policies and procedures are
provided for formal approval.
In addition,because the new program wasn't budgeted for in 2014, a budget amendment is necessary. It
was also suggested that in the future the $100,000 be funded through the HRA levy. The attached Budget
POWEBE0 0f
INA 'U
Revision Request Form will transfer funds in the amount of$100,000 from the HRA fund balance to the
contractual services line item.
The policies,procedures and related documents have been reviewed by the HRA's attorney.As a result of
that review the policies and procedures and related documents have been revised to reflect a condition
that qualifying homeowners must not exceed moderate income limits. Copies of the updated policies and
procedures and related documents are attached.
Because the attorney review resulted in a change in the documentation that would impose income
limitations on the program, the HRA is asked to consider whether it prefers to proceed with the program
on the current timeline with the income restrictions or delay the program to qualify it as a redevelopment
project in which no income limitations are imposed.
If the HRA prefers to proceed with the program on the current timeline with the income restrictions, the
HRA is asked to both approve budget amendment the policies &procedures and also make
recommendation to the City Council on the same.
Alternatively,if the HRA prefers to undertake the program without the income restrictions,the HRA is
asked to recommend to the City Council to call public hearing to consider a Redevelopment Plan to
undertake the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program in the Target Area. The alternative
action follows:
Alternative Action Requested
Recommend,by motion, the City Council call public hearing on June 16,2014 to consider a
Redevelopment Plan as part of the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program in the Target Area.
Jenny Boulton, the HRA's attorney from Kennedy& Graven will be present to explain the HRA's
options in greater detail.
Financial Impact
$100,000 will be transferred from the fund balance to the contractual services line item. The balance is
currently$922,696.

discuss the homeowner's wishes. After the initial inspection a lead based paint risk assessment
will be requested. After the risk assessment is completed, CMHP will create a scope of work
based on the initial inspection and the lead assessment report. Once the homeowner has approved
the scope of work the project is ready to go out for bid.
All contractors participating in the program must have a Contractors Application Form on file at
CMHP. The application must contain proof of insurance coverage and copy of their MN
Contractors License. Contractors will be responsible for securing insurance of the amounts
specified on the application form.
5
443114v3 MJM ELI 85-26
Scope of work determination: CMHP will originate a rehabilitation scope of work from
information collected from the initial home inspection. Homeowners will participate in the
creation of the scope of work and will sign an owner approval form once they are satisfied with
the scope of work. A final scope of work should be completed and approved by the owner no
more than one month after the initial inspection. The final draft scope of work will be provided
to contractors through the bidding process.
Bid Solicitation: A homeowner may request the services of a specific contractor to bid on its
project. CMHP will provide homeowners with a list of local participating contractors. It is the
responsibility of the homeowner to select 2-4 contractors from the list to whom CMHP will send
project bid packets. In order for a contractor who is not on the list to be awarded a bid, the
contractor must furnish a Contractors Application Form and the required contractor license and
insurance documentation.
Bidding: Contractors will submit bids based on the bid specifications and approved scope of
work prepared by CMHP. Participating contractors will be allowed to bid on any and all
rehabilitation projects. However, CMHP will closely monitor the number of jobs that contractors
receive to ensure that work is carried out in a timely manner. CMHP will also take into account
homeowner's satisfaction of workmanship and will have the authority to remove contractors
from the participating contractor list.
Bid openings are typically scheduled 3 weeks from the date of mailing. Contractors will mail
bids to CMHP and they will be opened at the scheduled time and date by CMHP staff. Bid
results will then be forwarded to the homeowners for review.
Bid Awards: It is the homeowner's responsibility to select a contractor a contractor to complete
the work, based on bid amounts and comfortableness with contractors. The Contract shall be
awarded to the owner's selection unless one of the following circumstances occurs:
• The contractor has failed to follow the procedures outlined in the instructions to bidders
• The contractor failed to bid according to the specifications and CMHP determines it is
impossible to compare the contractor's bid with the other contractors' bids
If the lowest bid is not selected, CMHP will review to make sure the bid selected by the
homeowner is responsible and reasonable and if CMHP determines that the bid is not responsible
and reasonable, the homeowner cannot enter into a contract with that contractor/bidder. If only
one bid is received, the bid will be compared to a cost estimate provided by CMHP to ensure
reasonableness.
Contractor Notification: CMHP will provide an award letter to the selected contractor and
unsuccessful bidder letters to those contractors not selected by the homeowner.
Contractor Contract: A rehabilitation contract will be executed between the homeowner and
the contractor. The contract will include the scope of work, contract amount, and outline the

contractor
• Unforeseen difficulties develop with the approved work and force a delay
Failure to Start/Complete Project: Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed, a contractor will
have 90 calendar days in which to complete the contracted work. Failure to begin work within
the first 60 days will be grounds to terminate the contract unless unforeseen weather issues affect
the start date.
The 90-day time period shall not be exceeded except through the issuance of a change order and
by approval of the homeowner. In the absence of a change order, a contractor who violates the
time period shall be penalized 10% of the unpaid balance for each week that the contractor is in

must be placed in the appropriate escrow account. Funds may not be eligible for change order
items if change order work is completed before approval of CMHP staff. Change orders will be
allowed only for the following reasons.
• To rectify hidden deficiencies discovered once work has started
• To change a specification due to unforeseen difficulties arising after work has started

Owner Participation: Homeowners are expected to participate in their project by
communicating with contractors when they have questions about work items, scheduling or any
other concerns that may arise. It is expected that homeowners and contractors will communicate
any issues or problems that arise to CMHP staff. Homeowners are not allowed to complete work,
or perform "sweat equity". Only licensed contractors will be allowed to complete needed work.

program.
8

unwillingness to correct the damages. The cost of repairing damages will be deducted
from any money owed the contractor for work already completed
• Where collusion or fraud has been determined to exist on the part of the contractor

• Inability of the contractor to perform the work within the allotted time
• Irreconcilable and irresolvable differences between the contractor and the owner
The cost of repairing poor workmanship and the higher costs of awarding the bid to another

completed. In all cases, the contractor shall be given the opportunity to rectify the problem
before contract cancellation procedures are instituted. CMHP shall adhere to the following
procedures when negotiating a workmanship problem:
• A meeting will be scheduled at the job site with the contractor and homeowner to
attempt to come to a consensus about the problem and solution
