RFP for the Housing Production Plan (HPP)
Discussion took place regarding the RFP for a housing needs study. Nick informed the board that a previous study conducted for the Affordable Housing Task Force by LDS Consulting Group, LLC was completed in May 2003 and contains considerable information and the board could see significant savings if the documents were made available to all quoting on the current RFP.
Talk about pros and cons of delaying the RFP and cost savings took place.
