Title/Name/Summary
10216 Hiawatha Trail - REIRS, AR
History
The purpose of this petition (Rosanne Farkas) is to obtain funding assistance from the REIRS program to install new energy efficient siding on the single family home at 10216 Hiawatha Trail (27-16-104-027), in the Orland Hills Gardens subdivision, an R-3A Residential District.
The petitioners are seeking a grant up to $2,885.00 in project reimbursement, which is 50% of the total cost of the project, valued at $5,770.00.
On October 18, 2010 the Parks, Recreation and Environmental Initiatives Committee moved 2-0 to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees to approve the Residential Exterior Insulation and Re-Siding Program application for $2,885.00 from EECBG in matching grant funds to replace the existing siding on the single family home at 10216 Hiawatha Trail with new energy efficient siding known as “Crane Performance Siding Solid Core” , subject to the following conditions:
1. That the bid from APEX Contracting Group Inc. for $5,770 is used for the proposed re-siding of the building;
2. That all National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements are met with regard to the hauling away of discarded materials to land fills;
3. That salvageable materials be recycled as much as possible.
ATTACHMENTS:
REIRS program project attachments containing bid and product specification information are available for review at the Development Services Department or in the Clerk's Office. They are not attached to this report due to the quantity of information.
Lowest Bid and Matching Grant
The REIRS program provides up to 50% of the cost of work or $5,000, whichever is less. The program requires that the lowest bid of the two be selected.
Fifty percent (50%) of the APEX Contracting Group bid is $2,885.
Fifty percent (50%) of the Evergreen Door and Window bid is $5,700.
The lowest bid is from APEX Contracting Group.
The petitioner for 10216 Hiawatha Trail is the same petitioner from 15061 Huntington Court, which was approved for REIRS assistance for a re-siding project using APEX Contracting Group in a previous project. The petitioner and the APEX bid have identified that the same siding materials used in the Huntington Court project will be used for this project. (See 15061 Huntington Court, case number 2010-0289)
This case is now before the Village Board of Trustees for final review/ approval.
Financial Impact
Funding is provided through the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant (EECBG), which was funded via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The REIRS program is a US DOE approved Project Activity under EECBG.
Total REIRS assistance for this project: $2,885.00;
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the Residential Exterior Insulation and Re-Siding Program application for $2,885.00 from EECBG in matching grant funds for the property at 10216 Hiawatha Trail as indicated in the attached fully referenced motion.
