SUBJECT: AWARD ARCHITECTURAL CONTRACT FOR MODERNIZATION
OF LOS NOGAL'ES, CA011004, BRENTWOOD
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AWARD architectural contract to H & Y Architects, a minority architectural
firm, in the amount of $58,524 for the preparation of plans and specifications and
contract administration for the proposed modernization work at the Los Nogales public
housing development, CA011004, Brentwood, and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to
execute the contract, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The architectural fee of $58,524 will be paid by the Housing Authority from
federal funds provided in the Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program CA011-912
for HUD Fiscal Year 1990
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Housing Authority was awarded federal funds in HUD Fiscal Year 1990 to
modernize the 44 apartments at the Los Nogales public housing development in
Brentwood. An architect must be hired to prepare the plans and specifications for
the proposed modernization work. Requests for proposals were sent to architectural
firms for this work.
Nine architectural proposals were received by the Housing Authority. After a
ranking and interview process, the architectural firm of H & Y Architects, a minority
architectural firm located in Martinez, California, was recommended for selection.
Mr. Ken Yamamoto is the principal and owner of this firm.
On January 28, 1991 the Development Committee of the Advisory Housing
Commission recommended award of this contract to H & Y Architects. At its Regular
Meeting on January 28, 1991 the Advisory Housing Commission voted to recommend award
of the architectural contract to H & Y Architects in the amount of $58,524 for the
preparation of plans and specifications and contract administration for the
modernization work to be completed at the Los Nogales public housing .development,
CA011004, Brentwood.

IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board of Commissioners fails to award this architectural contract, to
H & Y Architects, it would force the Housing Authority to re-bid the architectural
contract and delay the proposed modernization work for Los Nogales public housing
development in Brentwood. The delay may jeopardize the federal funds awarded to the
Housing Authority for this proposed modernization work.
