Show FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1971 Page Eight Petition in Court Asks for Incorporation S.L. County Housing Authority, Lets Proposals for 200 Units Robert W. Wood, chairman of the Housing Authority of the County of Salt Lake, announced the Housing Authority is inviting proposals from builders and developers for its first 200 dwellings for low income families. The first 200 dwellings will be valued at nearly $2,600,000. Mr. Wood also said that an additional 100 dwellings for elderly citizens valued at nearly $1,300,000 has been approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and proposals will be sought for the dwellings in the near future. Builders are developers, both local and out of state, are being notified by newspaper and magazine ads and by letter that proposals are being solicited for the first 200 dwellings. Proposals must be submitted to the Housing Authority Office, 2880 So. Main, Dec 13. After proposals have been submitted they will be evaluated by the Housing Authority and the Denver Regional Office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Weed stated that proposals arc not to be considered as competitive bids, but that each proposal will be evaluated on its individual merits as to design, project layout and reasonableness of price. Mr. Wood also stated that the Housing Authority is now beginning to establish resident selection criteria. These criteria must then be evaluated and approved by HUD before any waiting list can be developed. The Housing Authority will use the Turnkey method of construction for these first 200 dwellings. In the Turnkey meth-o- f construction th Housing Authority contracts with the private developer or contractor to buy, upon completion, housing that has been designed and built by the private developer or contractor. Any member of the private building industry may approach the Authority with a proposal to build in accordance with his own plans and specifi cations. Acceptable proposals are formalized so that theoretically all the Housing Authority has to do when the dwellings are built is pay the developer and turn the key in the door of each dwelling which is then ready for immediate occupancy. Mr. Wood explained that the first 200 family units will be geographically dispersed in Salt Lake County, excluding the area of Salt Lake which in the Housing AuCity, thority of Salt Lake City has jurisdiction. This construction of family units in small groups in the County will allow the residents to be more easily assimilated into the neighborhood. The housing will be low rise, and detached or if economically feasible, projects will be designed to facilitate the eventual ownership of the dwellings by the residents if they so desire. Of the 200 dwellings, 10 will be one bedroom, 60 will be two bedroom, 100 will be three bedroom and 30 will be four bedroom and larger. Because of the tremendous need for low rent housing. Mr. Wood explained that the Housing Authority of the County of Salt Lake feels these first 200 dwellings and the 100 elderly dwellings to be developed are only a beginning and there is much work that must be done to satisfy the housing needs of the low income families and the elderly citizens in the community. ted semi-detach- ed Army Pvt.
