SUBJECT AUTHORIZE WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM GRANT CONTRACTS
WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
Authorize the City Manager to contract with the Texas Department of Housing and Community
Affairs (TDHCA) for the Weatherization Assistance Program grant in the amount of $47,778 for the
period April 1, 1999, through March 31, 2000, and
2 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by up to $47,778, subject to receipt of the grant; and
3 Apply indirect costs in accordance with City Administrative Regulation 3-15 at a rate of 10 51 %,
which represents the most recently approved rate for this department.
DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Worth has operated a Weatherization Assistance Program on a grant basis funded by
TDHCA since 1982 The program serves low-income residents in Tarrant County, primarily the
handicapped and elderly, by weatherizing homes Weatherization measures include attic insulation,
weather-stripping, caulking, window and door repair or replacement, storm windows and other minor
repairs A maximum of $2,032 in weatherization funds can be expended on each home for Program
Year 1999-2000
The proposed funding of $47,778 represents new weatherization funding made available by TDHCA in
July of 1999 through a fourth "Stripper Well" contract. This contract represents additional funds beyond
the original three contracts with TDHCA that were approved by the City Council in June, 1999 The
original contracts are with DOE (Department of Energy), LIHEAP (Low Income Housing Energy
Assistance Program), and TXU Electric These contracts total $328,353 The Housing Department has
been expending these original three contracts for weatherization work currently underway Although
the Housing Department was notified of the additional $47,778 in July of 1999, there was no need to
access it until now Upon execution of this contract, the Housing Department will begin spending these
funds to complete all scheduled weatherization activities by the March 31, 2000 deadline Total
Weatherization Assistance Program funding, including this new allocation, is $376,131
Administrative costs are restricted to 10 526% of total TDHCA project expenditures for the
Weatherization Assistance Program Staff of the Housing Department perform inspections prior to
payment to the contractor
This project is available county-wide
