EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MDA is in receipt of a Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR)

allocation from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to aid

in recovery from federally declared disaster events. MDA is requesting qualifications from highly

qualified residential construction contractors to comprise a pool of as many as four (4) residential

construction general contractors who may be contracted to perform rehabilitation and

reconstruction of single-family residential stick built structures and repair of manufactured housing

units (MHUs) in compliance with local, federal and state statutory requirements for grants under

the CDBG-DR grant for the State of Mississippi for the Homeowner Rehabilitation and

Reconstruction Program (”Program”) and any future housing programs within the contract period.

The program intends to offer standard floor plans to each applicant who qualifies for a

reconstruction award. Standard floor plans will be offered in 2- and 3-bedroom configurations. All

floor plans include one bathroom. The floor plans will also include a safe room to be attached to

the exterior of the home. Xactimate was used to determine base plan costs for each program

standard house plan and will remain firm throughout the life of the Program. Site specific costs

associated with delivery of a reconstruction project must be priced via Xactimate and submitted

by the awarded contractor(s) for review and approval by MDA.

Rehabilitation project types will be scoped using the statement of probable cost for eligible repairs

as the base. Site specific or costs in addition to those captured in the statement of probable cost

must be priced in Xactimate and submitted by the awarded contractor(s) for review and approval

by MDA. Rehabilitation projects will also include a safe room to be attached to the exterior of the

home. Xactimate was used to determine the cost of adding a safe room and will remain firm

throughout the life of the Program.

Change orders for all project types must be prepared in Xactimate. All change orders and site-

specific costs are subject to the review and approval of MDA or its designee. Scope items are not

authorized without approval from MDA or its designee.

The base plan costs as well as the safe rooms costs presented herein include 25% overhead and

profit, and any site-specific costs and change orders will also include 25% overhead and profit.
