Jefferson County Community Build Board of Commissioners Greg Brotherton, Chair Date Authorized Signature Date Print Name/Title ATTEST: Carolyn Gallaway, CMC Date Clerk of the Board APPROVED AS TO FORM: C , February 15,2023 Philip C. Hunsucker Date Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Page 9 of 15 EXHIBIT A— SCOPE OF WORK PROJECT DESCRIPTION • Name of Project: Ten Tiny Shelters for Caswell-Brown Village • Amount requested: 1590 FUNDS: $20,000 Provide a brief description of the project: On October 9 of this year,Community Build volunteers began constructing ten tiny shelters for the Caswell-Brown transitional housing village on Mill Road under a contract with OlyCAP. On December 9,just hours before another night of fierce wind and rain, people were able to move from tents and cars into fully insulated 8' x 12' shelters with small wall heaters,built-in bed frames, locks on their doors, and electric light. Although very basic,these shelters keep people safe and warm. The building materials and licensed electrical work for the first ten shelters were paid for with$49,000 which had been donated to OlyCAP for that purpose, supplemented by substantial in-kind donations of paint and building materials and$10,000 of funds raised by Community Build itself. OlyCAP would like us to build ten more shelters but it does not have funds available to contribute toward the effort. Together with other sources described under APPROACH,this housing grant would help us secure the full $64,500 needed in time to begin buying building materials by early March. Goals,expected outcomes and methods by which Project will be measured and assessed. Number of units of housing to be created or individuals who will be served. Specific eligible use under 1590 for which the Project qualifies: Our goal is to build ten more 8' x 12' tiny shelters for Caswell-Brown by early summer to provide transitional housing for people who are now living in tents,cars or trucks. The outcome will be the completion of all 10 shelters so at least 10 more people can be safely housed. If requested by OlyCAP and sufficient funds can be raised, some of the new shelters could be"doubles"that would provide more space for two beds. (Some shelters we already built are now occupied by couples or a mother and child.) Once the shelters are finished at the New Life Church build site,OlyCAP will arrange for them to be trucked to Caswell-Brown where will add roofs over the doors and small stoops.At that point, our project will have been completed successfully. The number of people housed at any one time in these ten new shelters might be 10-16. However, as initial residents move into more permanent housing, others will take their place in these transitional shelters. For instance, in the 23 months from January 2021 to November 2022, a total of 34 people had occupied the 11 shelters at Peter's Place in Port Hadlock. (ten of those shelters were built by us and one by the Community Boat Project.) This project is permissible under 1590 since it is for construction of affordable housing for people who meet the income limit and at least one—and often more than one—of the eligibility criteria listed in the RFP: persons with mental illness or disabilities,veterans, seniors, homeless families with children, unaccompanied homeless youth/young adults and domestic violence survivors. Page 10 of 15 EXHIBIT B—Budget Applicant provided a contract they have with OlyCAP to build the ten tiny shelters at Caswell-Brown. See attached. Page 11 of 15 Olympic Community Action Programs Community Build Second Contract for Caswell-Brown Shelters This AGREEMENT is between Olympic Community Action Programs, (referred to as "OlyCAP")and Community Build, a project under the fiscal sponsorship of StrongerTowns (referred to as CB) to specify the terms and conditions under which CS will build tiny shelters for OlyCAP in 2023. WHEREAS, CB desires to give volunteer construction services and WHEREAS, OlyCAP needs such services, NOW THEREFORE, the parties mutually agree as follows: 1. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE This agreement will be effective when signed by both parties. It is open-ended in terms of expiration but can be terminated by either party at any time with a 30-day notice in writing. Depending on the success of its fundraising efforts, CB would like to begin construction in early spring 2023. 2.SCOPE OF WORK CB will provide construction services for up to 10 tiny shelters of the same basic design as the first Caswell-Brown shelters. Since OlyCAP does not have funding for these shelters, CB will conduct its own fundraising efforts and build as many shelters as it can for the amount of money raised. Prior to CB's purchase of materials, OlyCAP shall specify whether some of the shelters need to be a larger size. In order to purchase adequate materials in time for early spring construction, the decision about any larger shelters(doubles) needs to be made no later than January 15, 2023 unless CB provides OlyCAP with additional time. The number of shelters that can be built will depend on how many doubles are needed and how much cash and/or in-kind donations Community Build has raised. Each shed-roofed wooden shelter will have: • Three opening windows and an out-swinging door with protective roof, • Insulation in the floor, walls and ceiling plus vinyl flooring; • Painted inside and out with the same colors used for the first 11 shelters unless OlyCAP chooses other colors; Page 1 of 4 Page 12 of 15 • Electrical wiring inside the walls, a ceiling light fixture and wall switch, plug-in wall heater and 4 or 5 wall outlets. No porch lights are needed for these shelters; • Exterior electrical connection for a stub to be provided and paid for by OlyCAP; • Exterior landing, stair and railing to be installed after the shelters are moved to Caswell-Brown; and • Bed frame and, if CB determines that it has raised adequate funding, a small rack with pegs for coats and a built-in shelving/clothes rod unit. Key Areas of CB's Responsibility: • Determine how many shelters can be built with the funds it has available; • Finalize the shelter design and adjust it as needed during construction; • Purchase materials; • Recruit and supervise volunteers to do the construction and painting; • Contract with a licensed electrician for the interior electrical work; • Alert OlyCAP about any delays or significant changes; and • Send monthly progress reports to OlyCAP Key Areas of OlyCAP's Responsibility: • Determine how many doubles are needed, how many shelter doors should be on the right or left and specifications for bed frames and other interior furnishings; • Notify CB of any changes in the site plan, project timing or other significant feature that could affect CB's construction of the shelters; • Coordinating the move of the shelters in advance with the OlyCAP team, CB and the moving contractor and having its personnel on site when the shelters are being transported from the build site; • Work with CB to involve Caswell-Brown residents as volunteers; • Site preparation, including but not limited to grading, footings or other foundation, underground electrical work and a stub to connect shelters to power; • Any permit fees other than for the interior electrical work; and • Labor and Industries inspection. 3. PRIOR APPROVAL POLICY Any significant changes in the work plan should be pursued by CB only after written approval from OlyCAP. 4._PAYMENT AND SCHEDULE OF DELIVERABLES OlyCAP will pay CB$50 upon signing of the contract. CB cannot guarantee that it will be able to raise sufficient funds to build all ten shelters but that will be its goal. If CB needs a Page 2 of 4 Page 13 of 15 sponsoring organization for grants from other sources, OlyCAP may agree to serve in that capacity. 5. PRIMARY CONTACTS The primary points of contact for Olympic Community Action Programs to this Agreement are Kathy Morgan and Robin Pangborn.The primary contacts for Community Build are Debbi Steele and Dave Merrill. OlyCAP and CB agree that their contacts will communicate frequently about coordination issues and discuss any concerns up front to avoid misunderstandings and potential problems. 6.ASSIGNMENT/DELEGATION CB shall not assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of the OlyCAP This does not include CB's responsibility to hire the contractor for interior electrical work. 7.TERMINATION Termination is the cancellation of this Agreement in whole or in part at any time. Either party may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part at any time. However, if at any time either OlyCAP or CB believes the other is not materially complying with this agreement, it shall notify the primary points of contact both verbally and in writing and all parties shall attempt to resolve the concerns immediately. If either party determines that the other still materially fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, it will notify the other party in writing of its determination and the reasons for the termination, together with the effective date. Any payments made or recoveries sought by either party shall be in accordance with the legal rights and liabilities of the parties. 6. NO WAIVER No failure on the part of OlyCAP to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shalt any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right power or remedy. No rights of OlyCAP hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver is contacted in an instrument in writing signed by OlyCAP. $. LIABILITY CB shall at all times be considered as an independent contractor and shall not hold itself out as an employee of OlyCAP. Each party shall be solely liable for any claims, actions, demands, or damages arising out of its performance of this Agreement. Page 3 of 4 Page 14 of 15 11 JNSURANQE For its prior contract with OlyCAP,Community Build purchased a one year Commercial General Liability Insurance Policy, including contractual liability, written on an occurrence basis, in adequate quantity to protect against legal liability but no less than$1,000,000 per occurrence.
