Summary

Only one RFQ response (EGIS) was received for owner‑occupied rehab inspector work; commissioners approved contracting with EGIS and related professional services subject to OCRA approval and modified the construction budget to $897,000 with $103,000 for professional services contingent on OCRA.

Mike Kleinpeter, owner of Kleinpeter Consulting, reported that after following OCRA procurement rules and outreach to about 15 firms, only one response was received: EGIS. Counsel reviewed the proposed contract and said it addresses most county concerns but noted the homeowner/contractor contract creation still needed clarification.

The commissioners approved the EGIS contract (and a separate Air Xray contract) contingent on OCRA approval and moved to request a construction budget modification to $897,000 with $103,000 for professional services, pending OCRA. Commissioners asked that these expenses be paid from grant funds if OCRA authorizes the changes.
