Auction
68 -The Reverse Auction Program is planning a Special
The Reverse Auction Program is planning an auction for December
12, 2009, exclusively for properties belonging to the
Puerto Rico Housing Authority (PRHA). The period of performance
will be 120 calendar days, beginning January 18, 2010, and
ending May 18, 2010.
In order to bid in this auction, it is mandatory for eligible
contractors to participate in a pre-bid teleconference.
This is because the PRHA inspections will be conducted utilizing
a protocol that differs from the UPCS protocol. These modifications
represent one of the few REAC-approved modifications since
the development of the UPCS protocol. Accordingly, it is
critical for both the seasoned and new inspectors alike
to understand the details of the revised protocol prior
to bidding. A copy of the modified protocol is available
in the Guiding Documents section.
The purpose of the conference call is: to ensure that all
contractors understand the modified protocol, minimize confusion,
facilitate scheduling, and minimize the risk of rejected
inspections.
Conference calls will be held on December 02, 2009, and
December 03, 2009, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time. You, or
a representative of your company, must attend one of these
sessions in order to receive an invitation to bid. If a
representative will participate, please let us know in advance.
If you are not already an eligible contractor, in addition
to participating in one of the conference calls, all information
must be submitted by the end of the day, December 5,
2009.
NOTE: These inspections are not suitable for Phase II
training.

Special
Announcement: Recently, we have noticed that some contractors
are attempting to place last minute bids on several lots
during the last hour of the auction. Since several of these
lots have proxy bids in place, it may take a few minutes
to receive confirmation of a bid. Once the bids are placed,
the “Place Bids Button” will be grayed out until
the bid is verified; please be patient until the bids are
finalized for the lot in question.
All bids placed by the contractors will be finalized
on a “first come, first served” basis, and any bids accepted
by the auction web site will be considered final. This
being said, we expect delays in placing bids during the
last hour of the auction, as such we encourage you to
place bids as early as possible to ensure that your bids
are accepted. HUD will proceed with awarding the auction
results based on bids accepted by the auction website.
Thank you for your cooperation.
