Information

ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)

Consider and take action on Resolution 22-006, approving the award of the contract to provide Rehabilitation Specialist/Inspector services for the Community Development Department to Mainland Children's Partnership DBA Galveston County Long Term Recovery Group in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

BACKGROUND

The City of Texas City receives CDBG grants annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that it uses for several activities to benefit the City’s lower income residents, and the community as a whole. Texas City allocates a portion of each these grants to its housing rehabilitation program, which provides financial assistance to improve the conditions of housing units owned and occupied by lower income households.

The City is seeking to fill the Housing Rehabilitation Specialist/Inspector (HRS) on a part-time (as needed), contractual basis. The services will be provided through a combination of in-office (CDD), in-the-field, and remote work (if desired). Ideally, applicants will have schedule flexibility, on a week-to-week and ongoing basis, to be able to respond to varying workload demands. The Rehabilitation Specialist can expect to have multiple projects under construction or in a pre-construction stage at any given time. The cost of these rehabilitation projects typically range from $5,000 to $25,000 per unit.

The HRS will work under the supervision of the CDD Director and the CDD Program Coordinator.
