at 3221 Indiana Street to Next Level Construction in the amount of $34,800. This
project and its occupants have been approved to participate in the Housing
Rehabilitation Program. There are three occupants living in the one - bedroom house
that was built in 1930. Reconstruction, rather than rehabilitation, is recommended,
because the house requires extensive restoration to bring it into current code
compliance. The rehabilitation work write -up estimate was more than $42,103.90,
which exceeds the limit for rehabilitation projects. The house requires new roof
installation, major electrical and plumbing upgrades, installation of central heating,
foundation leveling, sub -floor replacement, and replacement of numerous rotten
structural members. The windows are not operable and will require the installation of
screens. An additional bedroom will be required. Installation of a handicap ramp is
necessary. The house will be reconstructed into a two- bedroom, one -bath, 890 square -
foot home. Notices for this project were published in The Baytown Sun and were
mailed out to 12 contractors on our approved mailing list. Also, a notice was posted
with Construction Data, which is delivered to over 600 Houston Area contractors. Two
bid packages were picked up and two contractors attended the mandatory pre -bid
meeting. One sealed bid was received and two no -bids were returned. (A contractor
who did not attend the mandatory pre -bid meeting returned a no -bid). The sole bidder
was Next Level Construction in the amount of $34,800.
