Notes	The City of Council Bluffs is applying for the State of Iowa administered Community Development Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) fund to construct 40 new single-family attached housing units. The chosen property is located within the City’s East Manawa redevelopment area generally located north of Huron Circle connecting East Manawa Drive and Mohawk Street. There will be a new street extension known as Mallard Street. The City is currently in the process of designing the infrastructure extension as well as creating the preliminary subdivision and platting for the site. A map depicting the project location is included as Attachment ‘A’. The CDBG-DR Single Family Housing Production and Down Payment Assistance Program, Round 3 provides communities the opportunity to apply for funds to increase housing opportunities after the 2019 flood disaster declaration. In 2024, the City was awarded $6.8 million to provide long-term, quality, single-family housing that is resilient to future natural disasters and affordable to low-to-moderate income households. The City wishes to work with one or more developers/builders who can assist in the construction of the new attached single-family homes that will be marked through the CDBG-DR program. All units must be completed and sold to qualified households by December 15, 2026. Interested developers and builders must be committed to a timeline that meets this deadline. Attachment ‘B’ includes the guidelines for the CDBG-DR Program. Lots will be provided at no cost ($0.00) to meet the IEDA cost caps established for the constructed homes. Additional details: Please download and read all attachments thoroughly. In a clear and concise manner, developers must submit proposals that demonstrate the developer’s capacity to satisfy the requirements of this RFQ. Proposals do not need to be elaborate or costly, but should be prepared in a professional manner. Developer must commit to using the provided house plans.
