EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
1. Project Description and Objectives: Neighbor to Neighbor will acquire and rehabilitate
1041 Ponderosa, an 8-plex property in the west part of Fort Collins. Neighbor to Neighbor
will receive a due -on -sale loan of $160,000 ($125,919 CDBG and $34,081 HOME) maturing
at 20 years from the date of acquisition as partial payment for the cost of agcquisition.
Neighbor to Neighbor will also receive a grant of $75,500 to cover costs of rehabilitation of
the units. All of the units will provide rents at 30% and 40% of Area Median Income.
2. Affirmative Marketing: Projects with five (5) or more units must have an Affirmative
Marketing Plan submitted to and approved by the City of Fort Collins prior to the release of
funds.
3. Low and Moderate Income Benefit. The units are currently occupied by households with
income at or less than 50% of the area median income. The Subrecipient shall insure that
90% of the total HOME -assisted units (one unit) will be occupied by persons whose
household income is less than or equal to 60% of area median income and that 20% of all the
housing units in the Project (2 units) will be occupied by persons whose household income is
less than or equal to 50% of area median income; and that no more than 10% of all the
housing units in the Project (1 unit) will be occupied by persons whose household income is
equal to between 60% and 80% of area median income. Income limits are attached to this
document as Exhibit "B-1" and may be amended as necessary. The grantee shall determine
annual income of the Project beneficiaries using Section 8 Housing Program income
definitions as per 24 CFR Part 813.
4. Affordability — Rental: To insure the housing affordable to low and moderate income
persons, 80% of the HOME -assisted rental units (1 unit) must have rents that are the lesser
of the Section 8 Fair Market Rents periodically established by HUD for the Section 8 rental
assistance program for existing housing, or rents which are 30% of adjusted income for
households at 65% of area median income minus tenant paid utilities. The minimum rent
allowed must be no less than 30% of the annual income for households at 50% of area
median income minus tenant paid utilities. Regardless of changes in fair market rents and in
median incomes over time, the qualifying rents are not required to be lower than the fair
market rents for the project in effect at the time of contract execution. Area median incomes
and Fair Market Rents are annually adjusted by the department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Rent and income levels must be reviewed annually by the City for
compliance with the above requirements. The Fair Market Rent schedule, as set forth in
Exhibit "B-2" is attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, or as subsequently
promulgated in writing by the City. The Grantee shall ensure that all of the units in the
Project continue to be used to provide housing for low and moderate income persons at
affordable rents. This requirement includes the CDBG regulation that 51% of the units be
occupied by low- and/or moderate -income households.
5. Affordability period - Total HOME per unit subsidy for 8 units is $13,698 which requires
an affordability period of no less than five years from date of purchase.
20
6. Deed Restriction: The City shall be responsible for executing a deed restriction that will
ensure that the property will remain affordable without regard to the term of any mortgage or
the transfer of ownership for not less than the appropriate term described in the previous
paragraph.
7. Tenant and Participants Protection: The lease between a tenant and an owner of rental
housing assisted with HOME funds must be for not less than one year, unless by mutual
agreement between the tenant and the owner. The lease may not contain any of the
prohibited lease terms listed in 24 CFR Part 92.
8. Program Income: All revenues received by the grantee which result directly from a HOME -
assisted activity shall be considered program income. Program income includes, but is not
limited to, principal and interest payments and proceeds from the sale of acquired assets. All
program income is subject to all HOME and CDBG requirements, and must be reported
quarterly to the City. Program Income from the acquisition of this property will consist of any
funding received from the sale of the asset.
9. Contract Administration. Neighbor to Neighbor shall be responsible for the administration
of the contract.
10. City Monitoring. The City of Fort Collins HOME and CDBG Program will monitor this
project.
11. Housing Standards. These units will, at a minimum, meet the HUD Section 8 Housing
Quality Standards for Existing Housing contacted in 24 CFR 882.109, incorporated by
reference, and all applicable local and state building codes and standards.
12. Environmental Standards. Prior to release of funds, the property must undergo an
environmental review.
13. Lead Paint Hazards. The property was built in 1967 and will require a lead hazards
assessment prior to release of funds. Any lead hazards found must be mitigated using lead
safe practices and cleared prior to purchase of the property and all rehabilitation will be
required to use lead safe practices.
14. Davis -Bacon Fair Labor Standards: CDBG funding in the amount of $125,919 will be used
toward the acquisition portion of the activity only and will not invoke Davis -Bacon. HOME
funding in the amount of $109,581 will be used for rehabilitation of the units. The threshold
for HOME funding to invoke Davis -Bacon is 12 units; therefore this 8-unit complex will not
require Davis -Bacon wages.
15. Time of Performance. The Project shall commence upon the full and proper execution of
this Contract and shall be completed on or before September 30, 2004. However, the Project
time of Performance may be extended by letter, subject to mutual agreement of the City and
the Contractor. To initiate this process, a written request shall be submitted to the City by
the Contractor at least sixty (60) days prior to September 30, 2004 and shall include a full
justification for the extension request.
