Publicado el 12 y 19 de Febrero de 2017 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES – BROAD LISTING BROKER FOR OGDEN CITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION I. Project Scope The Ogden City Community Development Division operates housing and neighborhood improvement programs. These initiatives are designed to revitalize neighborhoods in need, to encourage greater owner-occupancy and private investment in those areas, and to provide housing opportunities for a variety of household types and with varying incomes by improving existing and building new housing stock. Ogden City uses a variety of funding sources, including federal grant funds which have special income and project administration requirements. Ogden City currently operates an “Asset Control Area” program, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This allows Ogden City to purchase HUD foreclosures for the purpose of renovating them and selling them to eligible buyers. All HUD homes within a designated target area come to Ogden City (see attached map). Required renovations bring the home up to Ogden’s building codes, and add enhancements designed to prolong the life of the property and enhance its setting in the neighborhood. Homes are sold to owner-occupant buyers whose income does not exceed 115% of area median. Down payment and closing cost assistance is available through HUD and Ogden City. The program has been in operation since June of 2005. In addition to the above, Ogden City sometimes acquires non-Asset Control Area homes through purchase or foreclosure which are renovated and made available for sale to owner-occupant buyers. Ogden City may also acquire vacant land suitable for housing development. II. Objective Ogden City Community Development Division may choose to use one or more Broad Listing Brokers on properties where: • Ogden City purchases residential properties, renovates them, and makes them available to eligible buyers. • Ogden City builds new housing units and makes them available to eligible buyers. • Ogden City owns vacant land, and markets that land for potential housing developments.
