Agenda Title
Resolution approving purchase and redevelopment agreement with Novak-Fleck Incorporated for the sale of
5212 Pennsylvania Avenue North (improvement project no. 1025)
Requested Action
Staff requests that the Economic Development Authority conduct a public hearing and approve a resolution
approving the sale of the scattered site lot located at 5212 Pennsylvania Avenue North to Novak-Fleck, Inc.
Policy/Past Practice
The Economic Development Authority reviews proposals for the redevelopment of EDA-owned scattered site
properties prior to executing a contract with the preferred buyer/builder.
Background
A Request for Proposals (RFP) marketing the lot at 5212 Pennsylvania Avenue North was sent to more than 20
builders on June 26, 2019. The non-negotiable minimum lot sale price was set at $60,000 and builders were
allowed the opportunity to submit a higher offer to make their proposal more competitive. The RFP stipulated
that the proposed house “must be an owner-occupied, single-family home.” The occupancy requirement
applies to the first buyer for period of two years. Proposals were due on July 10, 2019. The EDA received four
proposals from the following three builders:
Novak-Fleck, Inc. (preferred)
Houston Homes, Inc. (two designs)
Great Buy Homes, Inc.
Staff reviewed the proposals with the city manager and selected the submittal from Novak-Fleck, Inc. as the
“preferred” proposal. One of the proposals from Houston Homes, Inc. (“19031”) was also viewed favorably as
it featured a “side-load” garage and large front porch; however, the submittal from Novak-Fleck, Inc. included
far more finished square footage (including a finished basement), more bedrooms and bathrooms, and a higher
lot purchase price. The projected home sales price of $401,600 would be the highest sales price of a scattered
site housing project to date, and the first to exceed $400,000. The base characteristics and attributes of each
proposal are summarized as follows:

Experience with Recommended Builder
Novak-Fleck is a moderate-sized home builder based out of Brooklyn Park that has demonstrated a track
record of selling homes at their anticipated sales price. The city has sold five lots to Novak-Fleck over the past
five years. Addresses for those homes, sales price, and year of sale are as follows:
5431 Virginia Ave N: $245,000 (2015)
6059 West Broadway: $226,150 (2016)
Request for Action, Page 3
9115 62nd Ave N: $296,094 (2016)
9121 62nd Ave N: $270,900 (2016)
4511 Boone Ave N: $319,500 (2016)
Return on Investment
It is anticipated that expenses associated with the project will be approximately $180,162. Revenue from the
sale of the lot will be $65,000, resulting in a loss of $115,162.
The proposed improvements would result in an increase in the taxable property value for the subject property.
If the property were to be valued at $399,000 in 2020, it is estimated that taxes allocated and payable to the city
in 2021 would represent an increase of $1,713.56, or 183.26%, as compared to those that were payable in 2019.
Estimated Market Value 2018, Payable 2019 Projected Market Value 2020, Payable 2021
$163,000 $399,000
Taxable Market Value 2018, Payable 2019 Projected Taxable Value 2020, Payable 2021
$140,430 $397,670
Taxes Payable 2018, Payable 2019 Projected Taxes Payable 2020, Payable 2021

Taxes Allocated to City 2018, Payable 2019 Taxes Allocated to City 2020, Payable 2021
$935.03 $2,648.59
The following table demonstrates the tax benefit associated with the increase taxable property value over the
course of 30 years:
Additional Taxes Collected By City Year # of Years
$1,713.56 2021 1
$3,427.12 2022 2
$5,140.68 2023 3
$6,854.24 2024 4
$8,567.80 2025 5
$17,135.60 2030 10
$25,703.40 2035 15
$34,271.20 2040 20
$42,839.00 2045 25
$51,406.80 2050 30
The increase in property taxes allocated to the city would not cover the shortfall for 68 years, unless other
substantial improvements were made to the property. The primary focus of the scattered site program is to
target distressed single-family properties throughout the city, with the goal of improving residential
neighborhoods. It is understood that potential losses are incurred on each project, as the cost to acquire the
distressed properties and redevelop often exceeds the value of the new vacant lot or rehabilitated home.
Request for Action, Page 4
Staff is working with AEM on a template that can be used for future scattered site housing projects to calculate
the Internal Rate of Return for potential projects. It will be discussed at the August 19, 2019, work session
meeting when the Community Development Department provides an annual update to the City Council.
Development Agreement and Next Steps
Staff worked with the assistant city attorney to draft a resolution and Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement
for the sale of the lot. The agreement ensures that the provisions set forth in the RFP will be met and sets the
purchase price at $65,000. The agreement included in the attachments is considered complete by staff and the
city attorney; however, some minor revisions may be necessary once fully reviewed by the buyer. Any
substantial changes to the agreement would be presented to the EDA for approval. Once the agreement is fully
executed, staff anticipates that the closing of the lot sale will take place in September 2019. Construction of the
home would begin shortly thereafter.
Funding
Funding for this project would come from the EDA budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the EDA conduct a public hearing and approve a resolution approving the sale of the
scattered site lot located at 5212 Pennsylvania Avenue North to Novak-Fleck, Inc.

primary residence in compliance with the restrictive covenants described herein in
the form attached as Exhibit C.

to be recorded against the Property (whether by declaration, restrictive covenants, or
development agreement as hereinafter defined) subject to approval by Seller and Buyer as a
condition of Closing.
5. Title Commitment and Policy.
a. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Commitment for an ALTA Form B owner's policy

policy, if any, and the lender’s policy, if any, along with the price for any
endorsements requested by Buyer or Buyer’s lender.
b. Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Commitment to review and
approve the title to the Property and to object to any exception to title that is
disclosed in the Commitment or which is otherwise discovered by Buyer. In the
event that Buyer does not within such fifteen (15) day period give notice to Seller
objecting to any such exceptions, then all such exceptions shall be deemed
approved and shall be considered a part of the Permitted Encumbrances. If Buyer
timely objects to an exception to title, then on or before the tenth (10) day following
Buyer’s notice of exception, Seller shall remove the exception or notify Buyer that
Seller is unwilling or unable to remove the exception. Within five (5) days of any
notice by Seller that Seller it is unable to remove an exception to title, Buyer may
elect by notice to Seller to either:

returned to Buyer and the parties shall be released from all further
obligations hereunder except obligations under this Agreement which
provide for continued exercise following the cancellation or other
termination of this Agreement; or

be considered part of the Permitted Encumbrances.
4

9. Construction of Homes. Buyer agrees that it will construct a new single family home on

5
a. The single family home described in this paragraph is referred to as the
"Minimum Improvements.”
b. The Minimum Improvements shall consist of one new single family home, and
shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the RFP Guidelines attached
as Exhibit E and the proposal approved by Seller on August 12, 2019 attached
as Exhibit F.
c. Construction of the Minimum Improvements must be substantially completed
within one (1) year following Closing. Construction will be considered
substantially complete when the final certificate of occupancy has been issued by
the City of New Hope building inspector.
d. Promptly after substantial completion of the Minimum Improvements in
accordance with those provisions of the Agreement relating solely to the
obligations of Buyer to construct such Minimum Improvements (including the
date for completion thereof), Seller will furnish Buyer with a Certificate of
Completion for such improvements. Such certification by Seller shall be (and it
shall be so provided in the Deed and in the certification itself) a conclusive
determination of satisfaction and termination of the agreements and covenants in
the Agreement and in the Deed with respect to the obligations of Buyer and its
successors and assigns, to construct the Minimum Improvements and the dates for
completion thereof.
The certificate provided for in this paragraph of this Agreement shall be in such
form as will enable it to be recorded in the Hennepin County Recorder’s Office and
other instruments pertaining to the Property. If Seller shall refuse or fail to provide
any certification in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, Seller shall,
within thirty (30) days after written request by Buyer, provide Buyer with a written
statement, indicating in adequate detail in what respects Buyer has failed to
complete the Minimum Improvements in accordance with the provisions of the
Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts it will be
necessary, in the opinion of Seller for Buyer to take or perform in order to obtain
such certification.
e. Buyer represents and agrees that until issuance of the Certificate of Completion
for the Minimum Improvements:
(i) Buyer has not made or created and will not make or create or suffer to be
made or created any total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, or lease,
or any trust or power, or transfer in any other mode or form of or with respect
to this Agreement or the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein,
or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, to any person or entity
(collectively, a “Transfer”), without the prior written approval of Seller. The
term "Transfer" does not include encumbrances made or granted by way of
security for, and only for, the purpose of obtaining construction, interim or
6
permanent financing necessary to enable Buyer or any successor in interest
to the Property, or any part thereof, to construct the Minimum
Improvements or component thereof.
(ii) If Buyer seeks to effect a Transfer prior to issuance of the Certificate of
Completion, Seller shall be entitled to require as conditions to such
Transfer that:
(1) any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial
responsibility, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, necessary and
adequate to fulfill the obligations undertaken in this Agreement by
Buyer as to the portion of the Property to be transferred; and
(2) Any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to
Seller and in form recordable in the public land records of Hennepin
County, Minnesota, shall, for itself and its successors and assigns, and
expressly for the benefit of Seller, have expressly assumed all of the
obligations of Buyer under this Agreement as to the portion of the
Property to be transferred and agreed to be subject to all the conditions
and restrictions to which Buyer is subject as to such portion; provided,
however, that the fact that any transferee of, or any other successor in
interest whatsoever to, the Property, or any part thereof, shall not, for
whatever reason, have assumed such obligations or so agreed, and
shall not (unless and only to the extent otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement or agreed to in writing by Seller) deprive
Seller of any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the
Property, the Minimum Improvements or any part thereof or the
construction of the Minimum Improvements; it being the intent of the
parties as expressed in this Agreement that (to the fullest extent
permitted at law and in equity and excepting only in the manner and
to the extent specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement) no
transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the Property or
any part thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated or
occurring, and whether voluntary or involuntary, shall operate,
legally, or practically, to deprive or limit Seller of or with respect to
any rights or remedies on controls provided in or resulting from this
Agreement with respect to the Property that Seller would have had,
had there been no such transfer or change. In the absence of specific
written agreement by Seller to the contrary, no such transfer or
approval by Seller thereof shall be deemed to relieve Buyer, or any
other party bound in any way by this Agreement or otherwise with
respect to the Property, from any of its obligations with respect
thereto.
(3) Any and all instruments and other legal documents involved in
effecting the transfer of any interest in this Agreement or the
7
Property governed by this subparagraph shall be in a form
reasonably satisfactory to Seller.
(iii) If the conditions described above are satisfied then the Transfer will be
approved and Buyer shall be released from its obligation under this
Agreement, as to the portion of the Property that is transferred, assigned,
or otherwise conveyed. The provisions of this paragraph (iii) apply to all
subsequent transferors.
(iv) Upon issuance of the Certificate of Completion, Buyer may transfer or
assign the Minimum Improvements and/or Buyer's rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to such Property without the prior
written consent of Seller.
f. Buyer agrees that (a) it will use the Minimum Improvements as only a single family,
owner-occupied homes, (b) it will not seek exemption from real estate taxes on the
Property under State law, and (c) it will not transfer or permit transfer of the Property
to any entity whose ownership or operation of the property would result in the Property
being exempt from real estate taxes under State law (other than any portion thereof
dedicated or conveyed to the City of New Hope or Seller in accordance with this
Agreement). The covenants in this paragraph run with the land, survive both delivery
of the Deed and issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the Minimum
Improvements, and shall remain in effect for at least 30 years after the Date of Closing.
g. Buyer shall comply with all recommendations of the City Engineer.
h. Buyer’s construction plans shall be approved by the City Building Official.
10. Revesting Title in Seller upon Happening of Event Subsequent to Conveyance to Buyer.
In the event that subsequent to conveyance of the Property or any part thereof to Buyer and
prior to receipt by Buyer of the Certificate of Completion of the Minimum Improvements,
Buyer fails to carry out its obligations with respect to the construction of the Minimum
Improvements (including the nature and the date for the completion thereof), or abandons or
substantially suspends construction work, and any such failure, abandonment, or suspension
shall not be cured, ended, or remedied within thirty (30) days after written demand from
Seller to Buyer to do so, then Seller shall have the right to re-enter and take possession of the
Property and to terminate (and revert in Seller) the estate conveyed by the Deed to Buyer, it
being the intent of this provision, together with other provisions of the Agreement, that the
conveyance of the Property to Buyer shall be made upon, and that the Deed shall contain a
condition subsequent to the effect that in the event of any default on the part of Buyer and
failure on the part of Buyer to remedy, end, or abrogate such default within the period and in
the manner stated in such subdivisions, Seller at its option may declare a termination in favor
of Seller of the title, and of all the rights and interests in and to the Property conveyed to
Buyer, and that such title and all rights and interests of Buyer, and any assigns or successors
in interest to and in the Property, shall revert to Seller, but only if the events stated in this
paragraph have not been cured within the time periods provided above.
8
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, Seller shall have no right
to reenter or retake title to and possession of a portion of the Property for which a Certificate of
Completion has been issued.
11. Resale of Reacquired Property; Disposition of Proceeds. Upon the revesting in Seller
of title to and/or possession of the Property or any part thereof as provided in paragraph
10, Seller shall apply the Purchase Price paid by Buyer under paragraph 1 of this
Agreement as follows:
a. First, to reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses incurred by Seller, including but
not limited to proportionate salaries of personnel, in connection with the recapture,
management, and resale of the Property or part thereof (but less any income derived
by Seller from the Property or part thereof in connection with such management); all
taxes, assessments, and water and sewer charges with respect to the Property or part
thereof (or, in the event the Property is exempt from taxation or assessment or such
charge during the period of ownership thereof by Seller, an amount, if paid, equal to
such taxes, assessments, or charges (as determined by Seller assessing official) as
would have been payable if the Property were not so exempt); any payments made
or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the
Property or part thereof at the time of revesting of title thereto in Seller or to discharge
or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due
to obligations, defaults or acts of the Buyer, its successors or transferees; any
expenditures made or obligations incurred with respect to the making or completion
of the Minimum Improvements or any part thereof on the Property or part thereof;
and any amounts otherwise owing Seller by the Buyer and its successor or transferee;

the reimbursements specified in paragraph (a) above. Such reimbursement shall be
paid to Buyer upon delivery of executed, recordable warranty deed to the Property
by Buyer to Seller.

WHEREAS, Novak-Fleck has committed to constructing a new residential home on the
Property pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement; and

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, Novak-Fleck agrees as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Restrictive Covenants. Novak-Fleck hereby covenants and agrees with the City that the
Property is restricted by the following covenants:
a) The initial conveyance of the residential dwelling (“Dwelling”) constructed upon
the Property will be only to “Owner-occupant(s)”. “Owner-occupant” is defined
as an individual that purchases the Property from Novak-Fleck with a bona fide
intent to reside in the Dwelling as a primary residence; and
b) The Dwelling constructed on the Property shall be occupied only by the Owner-
occupant, and/or by the “Immediate Family Member(s)” of the Owner-occupant
for a period of two (2) consecutive years commencing on the date of initial
conveyance to an Owner-occupant. “Immediate Family Member” shall only mean
a parent, step-parent, child, step-child, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister,
uncle, aunt, nephew or niece. Relationship may be by blood or marriage.
2. Release of Restrictions. The Property will be released from the restrictions imposed by
this Agreement as follows:
a) Upon the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a Dwelling constructed upon
the Property and receipt by the City of an Affidavit signed by Novak-Fleck and
the Owner-occupant verifying the Owner-occupant’s intent to occupy the
Dwelling as a primary residence the Property shall be released from the restriction
stated in paragraph 1(a) above.
b) The Property shall be released from the restriction of paragraph 1(b) above on the
two (2) year anniversary of the date the Property was conveyed in compliance
with paragraph 1(a).
3. Waiver by City. Notwithstanding the restrictions stated above, the City may waive the
restrictions stated above upon a finding of hardship or other extenuating circumstances
sufficient to justify the waiver in its sole discretion.
4. Agreement to Assessment. Novak-Fleck acknowledges and agrees the City may levy a
$20,000.00 assessment against the Property if: (a) the Property is not improved with a
single family house on or before _____________, 2020; and/or (b) if Novak-Fleck sells
the Property with the completed home to a non-owner-occupant in violation of paragraph
1(a) above. Further, Novak-Fleck agrees the assessment provided by this paragraph may
be certified to Hennepin County as a special assessment and collected with the real estate
taxes against the Property in a single installment.
5. Waiver by Novak-Fleck. Novak-Fleck expressly waives objection to any irregularity
with regard to any assessment levied against the Property per this Agreement or any
3
claim that the amount thereof levied against the Property is excessive, together with all
rights to appeal the assessment in the courts.
6. Additional Remedies. It is further understood that if Novak-Fleck or an Owner-
occupant should breach their respective obligations under this Agreement, the City will
suffer irrevocable harm from which a recovery of money damages would be an
inadequate remedy. It is therefore agreed that the City shall be entitled, as a matter of
right, in any Court of competent jurisdiction to a mandatory injunction restraining and
enjoining pending litigation, as well as upon final determination thereof, from attempting
to violate or violating this Agreement. It is further agreed that the City’s rights to such

actions which the City may have.

a) Voluntary dissolution of Novak-Fleck or any parent, subsidiary or successor of
Novak-Fleck;
b) Merger whereby Novak-Fleck (or such parent, subsidiary or successor of Novak-
Fleck) is not the surviving or resulting entity; or
c) Any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Novak-Fleck. In the event
of any such merger or consolidation or transfer of assets, the provisions of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the surviving or
resulting entity to which such assets shall be transferred.
8. Running of Benefits and Burdens. All provisions of this Agreement, including the
benefits and burdens run with the land and are binding upon and shall inure to the benefit
of the assigns and successors of the parties to this Agreement, such that the provisions of
this Agreement shall restrict the Property, and subdivision thereof, notwithstanding any
sale or transfer of the Property or any subdivision thereof to a third party.
9. Notices. Any notice to be given by a party to this Agreement shall be personally
delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, sent by confirmed electronic transmission,
or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier that issues a receipt to the address set
forth for the other party in this section (or to such other address as may be designated by
notice to the other parties), and shall be deemed given upon the earlier of personal

proposal.
To receive consideration, proposals must be submitted on a completed Proposal Form and the required

General Notes:
1. Only complete proposals will be considered. The city retains absolute discretion in deciding whether to
accept any particular proposal.
2. Proposals must be submitted by state-licensed builders who have built at least three houses in Minnesota
in the last ffve years, or have equivalent experience acceptable to the city. The house may be built
speculatively or for a speciffc buyer.
3. The city is interested in proposals that will generate the highest valued home possible. The new house
must be an owner-occupied, single family home. Owner occupancy restrictions will be documented in the
development agreement and secured with a recorded restrictive covenant. The occupancy requirement
shall apply to the ffrst buyer only and shall last for a period of two years. Full details regarding the legal
language of this requirement are available upon request.
4. The city would like to see a two-story home placed on the site, as the two-story homes built in the pro-
gram have commanded the highest prices when compared to other home styles such as split-entry.
Preference will be given to concept plans that propose to finish the most square footage and those that
include high quality exterior materials and upgraded interior amenities.
5. Following proposal approval by the City Council, the selected builder will be asked to enter into a
purchase and development agreement. This agreement will address the sale of the lot and secure all
applicable development and performance standards outlined in the proposal guidelines. At the time of
this agreement the builder must submit a $2,000 nonrefundable earnest money deposit.
6. Construction of the new house must be completed within one year of closing on the purchase of the lot.

Request for Action
August 12, 2019
Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Originating Department: Community Development
By: Jeff Alger, Community Development Specialist;
Jeff Sargent, Director of Community Development
Agenda Title
Resolution approving awarding the contract for rehabilitation work in association with the EDA owned
property located at 3924 Utah Avenue North (improvement project no. 1020)
Requested Action
Staff requests that the Economic Development Authority approve a resolution awarding the rehabilitation
contract for the remodel and rehabilitation of 3924 Utah Avenue North to Day Construction in the amount of
$173,671. This includes the base bid of $158,794 and alternate #1 at a cost of $14,877.
Policy/Past Practice
The Economic Development Authority reviews proposals for the redevelopment of EDA-owned scattered site
properties prior to executing a contract with the preferred buyer/builder.
Background
In December of 2018, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) purchased the vacant and distressed
property located at 3924 Utah Avenue North for $190,100 as part of the city’s scattered site housing program.
The intent of the purchase was to rehabilitate the home for resale and maximize the value of the finished
product. The house is in disrepair and substantial exterior and interior work is needed in order to make it
habitable and desirable. Since 2014, the EDA has acquired 15 single-family homes and one vacant lot. Of the 15
single-family homes, 13 have been demolished (four lot splits), one has be rehabilitated, and staff is proposing
that the home at 3924 Utah Avenue North be rehabilitated.
Staff remains committed to identifying scattered site housing opportunities for demolition; however, these
properties have become more difficult to acquire for a variety of reasons. The primary barrier is lack of
inventory, as the EDA has purchased many of the worst single-family nuisance properties available in the city.
Secondly, the acquisition price for distressed properties has increased steadily over the past five years, as
property values have risen citywide. These market forces have led staff to pursue opportunities within the
rehabilitation market, including 3924 Utah Avenue North. Staff believes the EDA has an opportunity to make
a substantial impact with its neighborhood revitalization efforts relating to rehabilitation.
The most recent rehabilitation project completed by the EDA was at 3984 Zealand Avenue North, which is
located in the same neighborhood as the subject property. The EDA purchased the home for $165,000,
completed a broad scope of work that improved nearly every aspect of the home, and sold the home for
$295,000. All costs associated with the improvements were covered with proceeds from the sale of the property.
When the purchase of 3924 Utah Avenue North for $190,100 was approved at the December 10, 201 8, EDA
meeting, it was noted that the larger scope of work and possible recommendation of alternates would likely
increase the budget to a point where proceeds from the sale would not cover all costs. The possibility of an
open house or multiple open houses was also discussed as the project could serve as a “demonstration project”
for the neighborhood.

Request for Action, Page 2
After the property was acquired, community development staff developed a scope of work that include d a
“base” level of work to be completed in order to make the home habitable and desirable. Staff worked with the
builder that completed the rehabilitation project at 3984 Zealand Avenue North and the building official to
develop and refine the scope of work. The complete scope of work is attached and involves improving nearly
every aspect of the house (interior and exterior). Major exterior improvements include a new driveway, garage
door, siding, windows, doors, and landscaping. Major interior improvements include removing the partition
walls that separate the kitchen from the dining room and a complete kitchen renovation with quartz
countertops, new cabinets, appliances, hardwood flooring (kitchen and dining room), light fixtures, and a five-
foot island with overhang seating. The new appliances were retained from the property the EDA acquired at
5212 Pennsylvania Avenue North and will be utilized as part of the rehabilitation at 3924 Utah Avenue North.
The previous owner installed them in an effort to better market the property before the city purchased the
home. The main level and upper level bathrooms would be completely renovated and the hardwood floors in
the living room would be refinished. Second floor bedrooms would receive new carpeting and light fixtures.
All rooms would receive new doors, outlets, appliances, and painted/repaired walls and ceilings. Drain tile
would be installed in the basement and half of it would be finished. The house has 1,598 square feet of finished
space above ground, and finishing half of the basement would result in 300 square feet of finished space below
ground. Two alternates were also denoted:
1. Remodel northeast second-floor bedroom to create a master-suite. This would convert the northeast
bedroom into a bathroom and walk-in closet.
2. Install cultured stone accent wall to front of home in area where vertical board and batten siding is
located.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) outlining the scope of work and alternates was sent to five contractors on June
14, 2019. The contractors were asked to provide a cost for the base improvements and individual costs for each
alternate. Staff received one quote for the project, from Day Construction, the New Hope-based builder that
completed the rehabilitation project at 3984 Zealand Avenue North. Other contractors stated that they were too
busy to bid on the project at this time. The bid from Day Construction is as follows:
Base bid $158,794
Alternate #1 $14,877
Alternate #2 $7,128
According to Day Construction, a contingency of $3,200 has been built into the bid to cover items such as
unforeseen mechanical (plumbing, electrical, heating) changes within the original scope of work, variances in
trade partner and supplier pricing, and minor changes that typically occur during construction. Staff is
recommending that the EDA approve the base bid and alternate #1 as part of the project. Staff believes creating
a master-suite with a bathroom and walk-in closet will significantly improve the marketability and overall
value of the property.
The city was able to sell the property at 3984 Zealand Avenue North without a realtor, saving thousands of
dollars in realtor fees. These savings were reinvested into the home in the form of a new roof. Staff would like
to attempt to sell the home at 3924 Utah Avenue North without a realtor in order to reduce costs and limit
potential losses for the EDA.
Request for Action, Page 3
Return on Investment
As previously stated, it is not anticipated that revenue from the sale of the property would cover all costs. A
“best case scenario” involving a sales price of $365,000, no realtor fees, and no unexpected costs beyond what
is included within the contingency (total expenses of $377,080) would result in a loss of approximately $12,080.
A “worst case scenario” involving a sales price of $330,000, $12,000 in realtor fees, and $5,000 in unexpected
costs (total expenses of $394,080) would result in a loss of approximately $64,080. If the housing market where
to change significantly, that would also affect the sales price of the house.
The proposed improvements would result in an increase in the taxable property value for the subject property.
If the property were to be valued at $330,000 in 2020, it is estimated that taxes allocated and payable to the city
in 2021 would represent an increase of $929.71, or 76.33%, as compared to those that were payable in 2019.
Estimated Market Value 2018, Payable 2019 Projected Market Value 2020, Payable 2021
$202,000 $330,000
Taxable Market Value 2018, Payable 2019 Projected Taxable Value 2020, Payable 2021
$182,940 $322,460
Taxes Payable 2018, Payable 2019 Projected Taxes Payable 2020, Payable 2021
$3,267.52 $5,674.32
Taxes Allocated to City 2018, Payable 2019 Taxes Allocated to City 2020, Payable 2021
$1,218.07 $2,147.78
The following table demonstrates the tax benefit associated with the increase taxable property value over the
course of 30 years:
Additional Taxes Collected By City Year # of Years
$929.71 2021 1
$1,859.42 2022 2
$2,789.13 2023 3
$3,718.84 2024 4
$4,648.55 2025 5
$9,297.10 2030 10
$13,945.65 2035 15
$18,594.20 2040 20
$23,242.75 2045 25
$27,891.30 2050 30
Utilizing the “best case scenario,” the increase in property taxes allocated to the city would cover the shortfall
associated with the project after 13 years. Under the “worst case scenario,” the increase in property taxes
allocated to the city would not cover the shortfall for 69 years, unless other substantial improvements were
made to the property. It should be noted that demolition and rebuild projects often involve a much larger loss
margin as compared to a rehabilitation project. The primary focus of the scattered site program is to target
Request for Action, Page 4
distressed single-family properties throughout the city, with the goal of improving residential neighborhoods.
It is understood that potential losses are incurred on each project, as the cost to acquire the distressed properties
and redevelop or rehabilitate often exceeds the value of the new vacant lot or rehabilitated home.
Staff is working with AEM on a template that can be used for future scattered site housing projects to calculate
the Internal Rate of Return for potential projects. It will be discussed at the August 19, 2019, work session
meeting when the Community Development Department provides an annual update to the City Council.
Funding
Funding for this project would come from the EDA budget. Any loss incurred on this project would diminish
the EDA fund balance.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of a resolution awarding the rehabilitation contract for the remodel and
rehabilitation of 3924 Utah Avenue North to Day Construction in the amount of $173,671. This includes the
base bid of $158,794 and alternate #1 at a cost of $14,877. The assistant city attorney has indicated that the City
Council may award a contract to a single bidder if the contract amount is less than $175,000 and the contractor
is capable of doing the work. The City Council has the option of awarding the bid to the lowest responsible
bidder, Day Construction, or directing staff to request bids again with the goal of receiving additional bids.

3924 Utah Ave - Notes on RFP and bid submittal
Bid Notes
•Regarding removal of wall between kitchen and dining room
•A portion of the wall near the garage entrance will be retained. This section of the
wall is needed for an existing heating supply duct, and to provide space for plumbing
lines for the possible addition of the master bathroom. As much of the wall will be
removed as is practical. The aesthetics of the open plan will not be impacted by this
adjustment.
•Connection to existing range vent is included- not specified in RFP
•New bathtub and tub/shower faucet not specifically identified in RFP. These items are
included in our price.
•Carpet allowance of $25/yard has been included. Prices from suppliers have increased
since the Zealand project and this is the allowance we recommend.
•Siding budget includes LP SmartSide 4” window and door casing to match the aesthetic
of the surrounding neighborhood. The alternative would be no trim around the
windows which isn’t common in older neighborhoods.
•Removal of chain link fence on north and south sides of home is included
•Removal of clothes-line posts is included
•Work will be done in compliance with EPA Lead RRP best practices
•Abatement of asbestos, if found, is not included
•Duct Cleaning and final cleaning are included as part of bid price
•Building Permit fee not included
Additional Recommended Options:
•New air conditioning condenser- $4260
•Existing unit is at least 15 years old and the refrigerant (R22) has become very
expensive which makes maintenance impractical
•New laundry tub in basement - $792
•includes white plastic laundry tub, brass faucet, demo and disposal of existing laundry
tub
