Purpose: To award a contract for house demolition and the construction of replacement housing at 321
W. Corbin Street in Hillsborough under the Community Development Block Grant Program and the HOME
Program.
Background:
The dwelling located at 321 W. Corbin Street had been scheduled for rehabilitation under the FY 1995
Community Development Block Grant Program. However, it has been determined that the cost of
repairing the home greatly exceeds the value of the home. Therefore, it is more cost feasible to
remove the existing dwelling and replace the dwelling with a modular home of the same square footage
- approximately 750 square feet. The owner-occupants of the house have been consulted regarding
this decision and agree to these plans.
Informal bids were obtained from five area demolition contractors with the lowest bid coming from
Martin Landscape Service of Hillsborough at$2,500. A bid summary is attached.
Further, area manufactured and modular home dealers have been contacted to obtain prices for
replacement housing. Only two companies sold housing with two bedrooms as needed to replace the
existing structure. Those companies were Eno Mountain Homes of Hillsborough ($57,900) and
Carolina Model Home Corporation of Raleigh ($46,300). Carolina Mobile Home Corporation provided
the lowest cost at$46,300.
CDBG and HOME funds will be provided for this project in the form of a Deferred Payment Loan with a
fifteen year term. A lien will be placed on the replacement housing to secure the investment.
Recommendation:
The Manager recommends awarding a Demolition Contract to Martin Landscape Service in the amount of
$2,500. The Manager also recommends awarding a construction contract to Carolina Model Home
Corporation for $46,300 for the cost of providing replacement housing at 321 W. Corbin Street in
Hillsborough.
