ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: March 21, 2017
Action Agenda
Item No. 6-c
SUBJECT: Extension of Development of Affordable Housing in Orange County Utilizing
County Owned Property (RFP #5229) Deadline for Submission of Proposals
DEPARTMENT: Housing, Human Rights and
Community Development
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
Annette M. Moore, Interim Director
1. Approved Timeline (919) 245-2492
2. Proposed Revised Timeline
PURPOSE: To consider a sixty day extension of the deadline to submit proposals for the
Development of Affordable Housing in Orange County Utilizing County Owned Property
Request for Proposal ("RFP") # 5229.
BACKGROUND: On February 7, 2017, the BOCC approved release of an RFP for the use of
$2.5 million of County bond funds as well as an RFP for the use of County and surplus land for
affordable housing. In addition, the BOCC approved a timeline for the release of both RFPs
(see Attachment 1). Since release of the RFPs, staff has received feedback from community
partners who have indicated it would "be difficult for applicants to complete the necessary due
diligence to determine what might be able to be done with the properties, and to answer many of
the questions regarding what will be built there (elevations, etc.) in such a short period of time."
These partners have requested that the County extend the deadline for RFP #5229 for at least
sixty days. (See Attachment 2 — Proposed Revised Timeline) The timeline for the RFP for the
use of 2016 bond funds would remain the same as in the original timeline.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable
to this item:
• GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND
INEQUITY
The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color;
religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or
ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic
status.
• GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY
2
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding
necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for
themselves and their dependents.
• GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY
The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang
activity, substance abuse and domestic violence.
• GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES
The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes
and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of
environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no
group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental
consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or
policies.
• GOAL: ENABLE FULL CIVIC PARTICIPATION
Ensure that Orange County residents are able to engage government through voting
and volunteering by eliminating disparities in participation and barriers to participation.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board extend the timeline for
RFP #5229 and adopt the revised timeline at Attachment 2.
