Subject: Professional Services Agreement to Implement a Financing Program for

Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and
execute a professional services agreement with Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.
(KMA), a Los Angeles-.based company, in a sum not to exceed $85,000, to develop
program documents and administer a financing program for the Mountain View Mobile
Home Park (MVMHP).
Executive Summary
On December 14, 2010 City Council approved a voluntary Financing Program
(Program) for MVMHP that will include three options to assist residents (a deferred
payment loan; lease-to-own; and renting from the City) who wish to replace their
existing homes with new manufactured homes. Staff recommends that the City contract
with KMA to develop the financing program documents, in accordance with the general
terms outlined in the staff report to Council, and process up to 54 applications from
residents, at a cost not to exceed $85,000.
Background
Mountain View Mobile Home Park (MVMHP) was purchased by the City in 2000 to
preserve affordable housing. A comprehensive improvement project that updated the
Park's infrastructure was completed in September 2010. Currently, 20 City-owned
travel trailers and mobile homes are being replaced with new, sustainable manufactured
homes. The Council-approved voluntary Financing Program (Program) for MVMHP will
create further opportunities for existing residents to purchase or lease new, quality,
sustainable manufactured homes.

Contractor Selection
In April 2011, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Professional Services
Contract to develop and implement a Financing Program for the Mountain View Mobile
Home Park. Two responses were received. Housing & Economic Development staff
reviewed and evaluated the proposals based on criteria including staffing, experience,
qualifications, technical skills, fee schedule and references. The review committee
concluded that both proposals received were from qualified applicants capable of
carrying out the scope of work. Staff recommends selecting KMA due to their
demonstrated expertise in the field, excellent references, and competitive pricing.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
The contract to be awarded to KMA will not exceed $85,000. Funds in the amount of
$85,000 are available in account number H15004908.589000.
