RFQ - Portage County Home Sites

Residential Single-Family New Construction Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Residential New Construction Loan Program Overview: The New Construction Revolving Loan Fund (NC RLF) program is a collaboration between the Portage County Land Reutilization Corporation (PCLRC) and the private sector that will leverage the PCLRC’s current and future inventory of vacant land and currently available funding to promote investment and redevelopment of under-utilized property throughout Portage County. The RLF program will provide the necessary land and short-term financing for new housing construction projects that upon completion, will be sold on the open market. Program Design and Statement of Work: Based upon responses to this RFQ, the PCLRC will select a builder(s)/general contractor(s), enter into a property purchase and construction loan agreement, and transfer the vacant land according to the below terms: ? Vacant Land Purchase Terms • Appraised value (third-party appraiser): 50% paid upon loan closing and 50% paid upon sale of the property, or 16 months, whichever is first ? Construction Loan Terms • Interest rate: WSJ prime minus 1% (currently 4.5%) • Fees/closing costs: None • Amount: Up to 75% of post-construction appraised value (third-party appraiser) • Term: loan re-paid upon sale of the property, or 16 months, whichever is first Style: Homes shall be site-built wood or metal frame, vinyl sided (or a superior material), with a pitched, shingled roof. Front porch configuration, and window sizes and amounts, shall be comparable to other homes on the street. House color, and accent colors, should also be consistent with other houses in the area. Basement: A basement is preferred but is not a requirement in the construction of the house. If the design does not include a basement, the home must have adequate storage space in the garage and within the house. Garage: A two car garage is required. Square Footage: The livable square footage shall be a minimum of 1,250 sq. ft., or more as required by local zoning ordinances, deed restrictions or homeowner association requirements.
