Califomilt 94965 4IS/332-M90 March 2, 1987 Mr. Ken Henderson Director, Department of Community Development City of San Bernardino City Hall, 5th Floor 300 Noth "D" Street San Bernardino, California 92418 Re: HOUSING CONSULTANT SERVICES Dear Ken: This letter.represents my proposal to the City of San Bernardino for housing consultant services for one (1) year beginning April 1, 1987. This proposal would represent a continuation of the assistance I have been providing to the City under my previous contract which is due to expire on March 31st. I have enjoyed my association with the City very much and, therefore, I am submitting this proposal to provide similiar services for one additional year. My ~roposal involves continuing the arrangement which has worked successfully in the past at approximately the same level of effort and arrangements, i.e., that the significant amount of my wori for the City would be done on-site, working closely with you and your staff and providing certain technical and professional services with respect to the City's housing and community development programs. For purposes of review, my services over the past year involved consulting assistance with respect to various housing and community development activities, including the following: a) Preparation and refinement of a series of concept papers regarding potential housing programs to be funded by a revolving loan fund established with the Cityrs 20% housing set-aside funds from tax increments generated by the City's redevelopment projects. b) Continuing implementation assistance for the Cityrs Infill Housing program including site visits to potential infill housing areas, development of loan critieria, preparation of a RFP to solicit infill developer proposals, review of developer submissions, preparation of escrow instructions, discussion of the program with construction lenders, and assistance to the Community Development Department in expediting the program. o o o o Mr. len Henderson Page two c) Provided periodic review of the City's Rental Rehab Program including assistance with transition of program administration from West Side CDC to City rehab staff, periodic review of project commitments to date, review of problem cases; and briefing of new City staff on RRP policies and procedures. d) Provided assistance to Community Development staff in preparation of the Housing Assistance Plan and assisted in resolution of outstanding issues regarding the HAP with HUD officials. e) Developed various concept papers for development of a new Acquisition/Rehabilitation program for HUD-acquired properties in the City, reviewed concept papers with City staff and the local HUD Area Manage- ment Broker, arranged for a meeting to discuss the concept paper with HUD officials in HUD's Santa Ana office, and procured legal documents from the California Coastal Commission on resale controls which might apply to the program. f) Discussed methodology for a Housing Needs Study with City staff, drafted RFP, developed ranking criteria for judging proposals, reviewed submissions, chaired selection panel and developed recommendations for contractor selection. g) Assisted the City with various other housing/community development issues including assessment of the effort involved in conducting a housing inventory in the City, prepared a list of potential funding sources for sentior citizen housing development, reviewed impact of 1986 tax reform legislation on low and moderate income housing programs, assisted in the preparation of a UDAG proposal to HUD, and participated in site visits to areas where potential new housing development might be encouraged. h) Provided technical review and counsel to City staff regarding potential new housing and community develop- ment programs which the City might consider, and reviewed potential support for these programs from local, state and Federal sources. o o o o Mr. Ken Henderson Page three Proposed HousinR Assistance As indicated above, I propose to provide on-going housing consulting services to the City of San Bernardino Department of Community Development for a period of one (I) year under approximately the same arrangements as existed under the previous contract. While it is not possible to determine the exact scope of services, it is likely that similiar activities as reported above will be carried out in the following year. Major areas of assistance will most likely include the following: a) Assistance in the continuing implementation of the Cityrs Infill Housing Program, including providing assistance to the selected developers in locating potential infill sites and assistance with program financing arrangements. b) Assistance with further refinement of the new acquisition/rehab program including negotiating a memorandum of understanding with HUD, refinement of the program locally, development of program documents including resale controls, and assistance with program implementation. c) Continuing assistance with respect to the implemen- tation of the Rental Rehab Program including help with identification of additional properties for participation in the program and review of any problem projects. d) Assistance in further development of the Revolving Loan Fund established by the 20% set-aside monies, including development of applicant lending criteria, loan documents, and supporting information and materials. e) As requested, review and assess other potential housing and housing assistance programs with respect to their appropriateness for San Bernardino and assist as requested with grantsmanship and/or applications to appropriate funding sources. o o o o Mr len Henderson Page four f) Provide other technical assistance upon request, such as assistance with respect to future single-family and multi-family bond issues, preparation of the next housing assistance plan, participation in meetings and/or presentations to the Mayor and Council and Redevelopment Committee, and other housing- and community development-related activities as assigned. Level of Effort ~ Cost of Assistance I propose to begin providing the services described above on-site in the Community Development offices beginning on or about April I, 1987 through March 31, 1988. The estimated level of effort will be approximately 42 hours per month, although the level of effort required to accomplish the tasks may vary according to the Community Development Departmentrs requirements. My rate for consulting services is $50.00 per hour for services provided under this agreement. Total charges for consulting time will not exceed $25,000. Any expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of this work will be submitted in addition for reimbursement together with an itemized statement. Billing will be monthly for time and expenses incurred. * * * I appreciate the opportunity to offer my services to the City of San Bernardino. My current resume is attached to this proposal. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, I would be pleased to answer them at your convenience. -t[fl~~ John R.
