City staff has met with <br />representatives of the SAHPS to evaluate the restoration plan for the <br />Howe-Waffle House, and it was determined that the items to be addressed <br />in the scope of work were the replacement of the roof, exterior painting <br />and termite repairs plus fumigation. The City of Santa Ana staff has <br />worked with the SAHPS to obtain responsible bids from qualified <br />contractors for the proposed work. After the bids were obtained, it was <br />determined that, due to the complexity of the restoration project, SAHPS <br />would need additional funding in order to fully address the proposed <br />scope of work. <br />City staff is recommending that the CDBG grant awarded to SAHPS be <br />increased by $10,000 to ensure the completion of the restoration of the <br />Howe-Waffle House. Funding for the additional work items is available <br />in the CDBG unappropriated project account. <br />25H-1 <br />
