AB-2024-10096 - Prime consultant for the development of a "Tiny Homes" project

Bridges Community Living is examining the viability of the development of small home communities. The first community is planned for Lot 2 Block 8 1621NY (former PCL site). By using the tiny homes model the organization believes we can keep construction cost at a reasonable rate for affordable housing. The client group noted above will likely be the citizens living in these units and therefore a designed that embraces the reality of mobility devices like walkers will be important. This may require a slightly larger footprint than a typical tiny home. The project will be broken into 3 phases. Successful candidates will provide a bid on all 3 phases. Phase 1: The development of Class B schematics for the development of a “Tiny Homes” community. Based on these schematics, the consultant will provide an estimated cost of construction for the purposes of BCL submitting grant applications. This includes providing support and any technical documents for a change of zoning on the parcel.
