	Introduction 
	The
	United States Department of Housing and Urban Develop-ment (HUD) is
	providing financial assistances to this Public Housing Agency (PHA)
	to develop a low-income housing project pursuant to Sections 4 and 5
	of the United States Housing Act of 1937. The PHA has selected the
	Turnkey method to develop the housing identified in this Turnkey
	Developer's Packet (Packet). 
	The
	completed project will be owned and managed by this PHA to provide
	rental housing for low-income households. The struc-tures, housing
	units, and non-dwelling facilities shall be designed to provide a
	wholesome living environment. Emphasis shall also be placed on
	durable construction, efficiency and economy of maintenance, energy
	conservation, and suitable recreation space to enhance a wholesome
	living environment, over the thirty-year term of the PHA's permanent
	financing for purchase of the project. 
	Under
	the Turnkey method, developers submit proposals in re-sponse to a
	Request for Proposals (RFP) from the PHA. The proposals that meet
	the requirements of this Packet are reviewed, rated, and ranked by
	the PHA. The highest rated turnkey proposal which represents the
	best “total package” is submitted to HUD for approval.
	After HUD approval of the turnkey proposal, the developer's
	architect prepares the preliminary design and work- 
	In
	order to be considered by the PHA and HUD, turnkey proposals must
	comply with the program and submission requirements identified in
	this Packet. Accordingly, interested developers should review the
	project description (Part I), the program requirements (Part II),
	the turnkey proposal content (Part III) and the required program
	documents and forms (Part IV), prior to preparing and submitting a
	turnkey proposal to the PHA.

	drawings and the construction specifications for PHA and HUD
	approval. 
	Prior
	to start of construction of rehabilitation, the PHA and the
	developer execute a Contract of Sale under which the PHA agrees to
	purchase the completed project from the developer for a specified
	price. The developer is fully responsible for all devel-opment and
	construction activities, such as purchasing sites or properties,

	developers must submit their turnkey proposals to the PHA by the

	Part
	I. Project Description 
	PHA
	Instructions: This
	Part shall be completed by the PHA to provide specific details about
	the proposed project. The PHA shall ensure that the information and
	requirements stated in this part comply with the Public Housing
	Development Regulation (24 CFR 841), The Public Housing Development
	Handbook (HB 7417.1 Rev-1), related state and local building
	requirements, and special regional requirements identified in
	accordance with Handbook 7417.1, Chapter 3, par. 3-143 and
	agreements reached by the PHA and HUD at the project planning
	conference. 
	1.
	Community.
	Identify
	the name of the community for which the housing project is proposed.
	State whether or not the community is a Community Development Block
	Grant (CDBG) recipient that has an approved Housing Assistance Plan
	(HAP). 
	2.
	Site
	Location. Identify
	the general locations for assisted housing stated in the HAP, and
	any local preferences for sites (e.g., CDBG 
	Activities,
	Neighborhood Preservation Areas). For communities not covered by a
	HAP, state any local preferences for sites in areas that are
	consistent with the public housing site and neighborhood standards
	and local planning and housing development activities. 
		Housing
		Type. State
		whether the proposed housing is to be newly constructed or
		substantially rehabilitated. 
		Housing
		Units. Identify
		the number of units for each structure type and household type by
		number of bedrooms as follows: 
	Number
	of Bedrooms 
	Elderly 
	Family 
	0 
	1 
	2 
	1 
	2 
	3 
	4 
	5 
	6 
	*Identify
	the number of units to be designed specifically for use by
	handicapped individuals. 
	The
	number of units identified above shall not vary from the unit
	distribution identified in the area office invitation for a PHA
	proposal. In the case of a project involving Substantial
	Rehabilitation provide
	a statement that: 
	A.
	The total number of units for elderly and family households are
	maximum amounts; 
	B.	The
	number of units by structure type are preferred, but the PHA will
	consider substitution of less expensive structure type (e.g., 
	townhouse/row
	instead of detached) if appropriate for household type provided that
	the number of units does not exceed the totals shown for a specific
	number of bedrooms; 
	C. If
	the larger units (number of bedrooms) are not available, a
	one-for-one substitution of smaller units will be consistent with
	the applicable housing assistance plan; and 
	D.
	The PHA will give preference in selecting turnkey proposals to those
	proposals that most clearly adhere to the proposed distribution. 
	5.
	Special
	Building Requirements. State
	any local preferences or building requirements or limitations. These
	may include such items 
	as:

	project (using a commercial cost index) to recognize actual changes
	(increases or decreases) in con-struction costs from the effective
	date of the unit costs published in the Federal
	Register.
	This is done for compari-son purposes only at early stages of
	processing. The developer's costs should always reflect current
	conditions.

	statement
	of the requirements and limitations for non-dwell-ing space such as
	a community rooms*, maintenance and office space and space for child
	care facilities, health care facilities, or congregate dining
	facilities, if justified. If there is a requirement for several
	sites, the proration or consolida-tion requirements for the
	non-dwelling space must be clearly defined. The PHA may require a
	separate proposal for part or all of this space especially for
	proposals for less than the total number of units requested. 
	C.

	A proposal is considered to be “non-re-sponsive” if
	critical information is mission or the pro-posal represents a major
	deviation from this packet. In such cases the developer will be
	notified, the reason stated, and the proposal will not be considered
	by the PHA. In the event of minor omissions, the PHA may give the
	developer additional time to submit the missing information. A minor
	omission is one which generally will not affect any of the proposal
	evaluation criteria considerations.

	Section
	3. Site and Neighborhood Standards 
	Introduction.
	Each
	site proposed for a public housing project must comply with the site
	and neighborhood standards identified in this section. The PHA and
	turnkey developer shall make every effort to select sites that will
	minimize the number of households to be displaced for purposes of
	developing a public housing project. In addition, proposed sites
	must comply with all environ-mental requirements and displacement,
	relocation and acquisi-tion requirements. These standards should be
	reviewed by the turnkey developer before a site is selected and a
	purchase option is obtained. 
	Generally,
	the locations identified in HAPs should have adequate public
	facilities and services available or planned for the immediate
	future. 
	a.
	Access
	and Utilities. Sites
	must be accessible to public 
	utilities,
	such as water and sewer, electric, natural gas, and trash collection
	and must be accessible to vehicular traffic. Access streets and
	utilities should be available at the boundary of each site in time
	for project construction or occupancy and should be capable of
	serving the pro- 
	posed
	project.

	This
	section identifies the laws, Executive Orders and regulations
	relating to environmental protection. The devel-opment of public
	housing projects must comply with these re- 
	tural,
	or archeological significance listed (or eligible to be listed) in
	the national Register of Historic Places. These laws and procedures
	require that proposed projects be reviewed to determine whether they
	would affect any district, site, build-ing or other structure listed
	(or eligible to be listed) in the National Register of Historic
	Places. These procedures re-quire consultation with the State
	Historic Preservation Of-ficer and may require a determination of
	eligibility b the Department of Interior and a determination of

	regulation at 24 CFR 50 establishes the policies and procedures for
	HUD environmental clear-ances (including procedures for automatic
	requirements for a Special Clearance or Environmental Impact
	Statement and criteria for determining when several projects built
	near each other may be considered as a single action) and

	5. Uniform Act and Relocation Requirements 
	The
	Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Poli-cies Act of
	1970 (Uniform Act) is not applicable to public housing projects
	developed under the turnkey method. However, in line with its policy
	regarding other HUD-assisted activities not cov-ered by the uniform
	Act, HUD administratively requires that relocation assistance,
	including advisory services and reasonable moving and related
	expenses, be provided for eligible residential tenant-occupants (not
	owner-occupants) who are displaced as a result of turnkey
	development. 
	When
	required, relocation assistance and related payments are provided
	and financed by the PHA. However, the developer may be required to
	reimburse the PHA for all or part of the costs for such assistance
	if the developer fails to provide the PHA with specific information
	regarding the occupants of a proposed site or property, or to
	furnish notifications to such occupants in accor-dance with the
	PHA's instructions, or to meet any other applicable 
	relocation
	requirements. 
	If
	there are any tenant occupants of the site(s) or property(ies)
	identified in the turnkey proposal, prior to its preparation and
	submission, the developer should ask the PHA to provide detailed 
	information
	regarding the relocation notification requirements. 
	Section
	6. Facilities and Services 
	Introduction. The
	developer shall make every effort to select sites that are
	accessible to existing or proposed public facilities and services.
	This may not be possible because sites may not be available near

	Section
	7. Design and Construction Standards 
	Introduction. This
	section discusses the design and construction standards applicable
	to all projects developed for the public housing program. If the
	standard is optional, Part I will indicate 
	application
	of good design as an essential component of such housing for safety
	and security as well as other purposes; the maintenance of quality
	in architecture to reflect the standards of the neighborhood and
	commu-nity; the need for maximizing the conservation of energy for
	heating, lighting, and other purposes; the effectiveness of
	existing cost limits in the area; and the advice and recommendation
	of local housing producers. The addi-tional quality standards for
	this project may be found in Part IV of this Packet. 
	if
	it is required for this specific project. 
	1.
	Basic Standards. Projects
	developed under the public hous-ing program must comply with: 
	a.
	either the HUD Minimum Property Standards (MPS) for 
	New
	Construction or the HUD Minimum Design Stan-dards for Rehabilitation
	of Residential Properties. The MPS for multifamily Housing apply to
	walk-up and elevator structures and sites and are contained in
	Hand-book 4910.1. The MPS which apply to detached, semi-detached and
	row structures and sites are contained in Handbook 4900.1. An
	up-to-date copy of the MPS is available for examination in each HUD
	Regional, Area and Service Office. Copies may be purchased from the
	United States Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
	The MPS for Rehabilitation of Residential Properties is Handbook
	4940.4 which applies to all types of structures. It may be obtained
	free of charge from any HUD Office. 
	b.
	Density. The
	density requirements are stated in Section 3 
	of
	this Part. 
	c.
	Non-Dwelling
	Facilities. The
	requirements and limita- 
	tions
	for required facilities and services are stated in Section 6 of this
	Part. 
	4.
	Carpeting.
	Carpeting,
	instead of other types of finished 
	flooring,
	may be provided only in projects proposed for occupancy by the
	elderly or handicapped. Carpeting may not 
	be
	used in bathrooms or kitchens. 
	5.
	Basements.
	Unfinished
	basements may only be provided in 
	b.
	HUD environmental requirements and requirements for 
	public
	housing projects if the cost of constructing basements was reflected
	in the published prototype dwelling construc-tion and equipment
	(DC&E) costs for the area developed by the Area Office. In
	establishing prototype costs, the Area Office may consider the cost
	of constructing basements but only in those areas where it is common
	local practice for 
	accessibility
	and usability by the physically handicapped (24 CFR 40 and 24 CFR
	8); and 
	c. any
	applicable local requirements, such as State or local building codes
	and ordinances. 
	2.
	Local
	MPS Variations. The
	Area Manager may approve 
	moderate
	income housing. 
	variations
	from the MPS to meet special local conditions for a specific
	project. Variations may include modifications to design and

	areas of the country. The prototype costs established by HUD
	represent the ceiling amounts that may be approved for construction
	and equipment in the project develop-ment budget and construction
	contract. The Act also provides that the prototype costs established
	by HUD for any area may be exceeded by up to ten (10) percent if
	necessary for individual 
	evidence
	that construction costs exceed the limits determined by HUD. Any
	revisions approved by HUD also will be published as a Notice in the

	for the housing construction industry. A separate prototype cost
	area may be established if con-struction costs in a community
	consistently differ from other communities within the same prototype
	cost area. Prototype cost areas are identified by county, city, or

	developed to recognize actual changes (increases or decreases)
	in construction costs from the effective date of the unit prototype
	cost (used to determine the base project prototype cost) to the

	adjustment factor is based on actual changes in construction cost
	using the Boeckh's Index. However, if another commercial index
	(e.g., Marshall Swift's) is customarily used by the Area Office for
	routine processing, it may be used instead of the Boeckh's Index.

	Proposal
	Rating and Selection. The
