EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award a contract for RFP 09-5248, "General Contractors for
Rehabilitation of Residential Structures for the Neighborhood Stabilization
Program", to Inspired Woodworking for activities funded through the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development's Neighborhood Stabilization
Program.
OBJECTIVE: To contract with Inspired Woodworking in order to provide residential
rehabilitation and renovation services for properties acquired through the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program as needed.
,-.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County has been allocated $7,306,755 through the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program to assist with the redevelopment of abandoned and
foreclosed homes and residential properties. All properties acquired by Collier County
will have been vacant at the time of acquisition. As such, it is expected that many of the
homes will require rehabilitation and renovation prior to disposition. Accordingly, it
made sense on both an economic and time basis to have an annual contract in place to
cover these services. Requests for Proposals (RFP) for this project were solicited by the
Purchasing Department on April 24, 2009. Notices of the RFP invitation were sent to
750 firms. A total of 197 firms requested the full RFP package, and 54 firms submitted
proposals by the deadline of May 15, 2009.
The Selection Committee held meetings on July 9, 2009 and July 17, 2009 to rank,
review and discuss the proposals received. Two firm's proposals were deemed non-
compliant and were therefore eliminated from consideration. By consensus, the
Selection Committee wishes to contract with Inspired Woodworking, as well as 20
additional primary firms and 10 alternate firms. Approval of the other primary and
alternate firms appears as a separate agenda item on today's consent agenda.
For estimates, all Contractors awarded a primary contract will be quoted. The Owner
shall provide a summary of Work to be performed which will afford the Contractors the
opportunity to submit a formal quotation for the new work. The Contractors shall
respond with the information sought within seven (7) working days. A purchase order
will be awarded to the lowest, responsive and responsible quoter.
In each Request for Quotation, the Owner reserves the right to specify the period of
completion and the collection of liquidated damages in the event of late completion.
,-
In the sole discretion of Owner, primary firms' Agreements may be suspended for
reasons to include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. Failure to respond to three (3) separate requests for quotes

b. Submittals to three (3) separate requests for quotes are deemed non-
responsive
c. Non-performance of or deficient work
d. Non-payment of subcontractors
The Contractor shall be notified in writing that its Agreement has been suspended for the
duration of the contract term and that the contract shall not be renewed. At that time, the
next alternate firm, in order of ranking, as shown on Exhibit A attached to the contract,
will be advised in writing that they have become a primary firm and will be sent requests
for quotes.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for these services shall come from Neighborhood
Stabilization Program grant funds as projects are identified. Approval of this item will
have no effect on ad valorem or general fund dollars.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Neighborhood Stabilization Program will
further the goals, objectives and policies of the Growth Management Plan's Housing
Element.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County
Attorney's Office. This item requires majority vote only. This item is legally sufficient for
Board approval. - CMG
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners award RFP 09-5248,
"General Contractors for Rehabilitation of Residential Structures for the NSP Program"
to Inspired Woodworking, and authorize the Chairman to sign the standard County
Attorney approved agreements on behalf of the Board.
