Summary
The First Amendment to Specific Performance and Land Use Restriction Agreement CD19DMH will provide an additional $42,041.00 in CDBG funding, increasing the total CDBG investment to $146,245.00; will provide additional time for the completion of the project, by extending the term six (6) months from September 30, 2020 to March, 31, 2021; and will extend the term of the land use restriction to April 1, 2031.
Bids for the project came back higher than anticipated. Additional funding is necessary to complete the project. The original estimated cost for the project was $104,204.00, with funding being provided by the County. The new cost for the project, based on the lowest bid received, is $146,245.00. The additional funding is to cover the cost difference.
The original Agreement requires that performance under the Agreement be completed by September 30, 2020. Due to the recent pandemic, project commencement was delayed and Directions is unable to complete the project on or before the expiration date. It is necessary to extend the term of the Agreement six (6) months, to March 31, 2021.
The original CDBG investment of $104,204.00 required a land use restriction to be placed on the property until October 1, 2028. The new total CDBG investment of $146,245.00 and the term extension requires that the land use restriction on the property be extended to April 1, 2031.
