Nate Kimball, ECI Regional Planning Assistant Director, briefed the commissioners on the Owner-Occupied Rehab (OOR) program procurement on Dec. 23. Kimball said the first round of bids did not cover the entire scope of projects and that staff are working with companies to obtain the bonds requested by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) before re-advertising.

Kimball confirmed the companies that submitted bids were not local and stated that OCRA has recently awarded five to six similar grants. Commissioners did not take formal action at the meeting; the update was informational and focused on next procurement steps to ensure complete bid packages and bonding compliance.

The transcript does not list bidder names or bond amounts; it records only that staff will re-advertise once bonding requirements are met.
