Description

Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.
Report
Summary
NSD manages Housing Rehabilitation Programs which improve Phoenix's housing stock and enhance the quality of life for low- and moderate-income property owners and tenants. The Housing Rehabilitation Programs offer no- or low-cost housing repair services that address health and safety hazards in the home, and promote conservation, sustainability, and energy efficiency to support and revitalize neighborhoods.
As a result of the COVID-19 public health crisis, the Housing Rehabilitation Programs' capabilities to respond to residential housing repair service demands have been severely reduced. The ability to use Public Works' contracts with Commercial Comm and Electric Inc. (Contract 150240) and Hawkeye Electric (Contract 150241) will increase the number of contractors available to perform electrical services through Neighborhood Services' Housing Rehabilitation Program; NSD does not seek to utilize Public Works' contract with Rus Kurz dba Performance Electric (Contract 150242) to complete these projects. The Neighborhood Services Department will add an additional $15,000 each to the Commercial Comm and Hawkeye Electric contracts annually (for a combined total of $120,000) over the life of the contract. NSD's additional funding will increase the aggregate contract value to $3,120,000.
Contract Term
The five-year contract term, in one-year renewals, commenced on or about July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024.
Financial Impact
The aggregate value of Ordinance S-45778 over the five-year term, including this amendment, will not exceed $3,120,000. The $120,000 added to the Commercial Comm and Electric Inc. and Hawkeye Electric contracts through this amendment is funded through federal and state grants, and will have no impact on the General Fund.
