Reference Number 0000324861 The Town of Mt. Crested Butte (Town) is requesting proposals from qualified builders/developers (Contractor) to complete a workforce affordable housing development in the Homestead Subdivision (Project) located along 101 Dry Basin through 119 Deer Creek Circle in Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado. The Project includes eight (8) individual buildings totaling twenty-two (22) residential units.. There are six (6) different architectural unit types (B, C, E, F, J, and H) ranging in size from approximately 1,300 to 1,500 square feet per unit under a two or three-bedroom layout configuration with an enclosed garage. All lots are owned by the Town. *Project Background:
Housing affordability is a critical issue in the Gunnison Valley, and Mt. Crested Butte is committed to increasing affordable housing options for our community and local workforce. The Homestead units are subject to a residential deed restriction, which includes provisions for local employment, income and asset eligibility requirements, and a resale restriction, per the Towns Community Housing Guidelines. *Project History:
Homestead underwent an unsuccessful construction attempt by an Oklahoma firm starting in 2020, in which construction ceased with three buildings being constructed with slab foundations (#1, #2, and #3), three buildings framed (#4, #5, and #6), and two buildings (#7 and #8) not yet started. Due to construction practices, the Homestead development process resulted in a settlement agreement, in which the Town took ownership of the Homestead property on June 30, 2023. Bringing the Homestead project to successful completion is a high priority for the Town. Based on initial engineering and geotechnical assessments, along with other due-diligence evaluations, some of the existing Homestead structures (foundations/framing) may involve various levels of demolition. The Town expects the result of the demolition effort to be construction-ready building sites and anticipates receiving signed engineers letters with recommendation(s) regarding the integrity of the existing foundations, framing (buildings #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6), and the extent of repairs and demolition required. The letters are expected to become an addendum to this RFP. Question Acceptance Deadline 07/17/2023 at 5:00 PM MT Questions are submitted online No General Requirements - Insurance Required
