Court opens two HOME program RFPs; proposals forwarded to evaluation committee

Norma Salas, the county's grant administrator, told the court it had received two proposals for the HOME homeowner reconstruction assistance program (HOME/TDHCA). The record lists one proposer as "Lankford Community Management Services" (also referred to as "Langford Services" in the record; spelling inconsistent) proposing a 5% administration fee and an administrative cap of $15,000 per housing unit. The second packet was from GrantWorks, Inc.; the GrantWorks proposal listed a 5% contract administration fee and a per‑unit administrative cap of $15,000.

The court opened both packets, agreed to forward them to the county's evaluation committee for review, and expected the committee to return recommendations to the court on Oct. 9. The motion to accept and open the RFPs was made, seconded and carried.
