[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Commissioners
of the Township of Cheltenham as indicated in article histories. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 11-21-2006 by Ord. No. 2120-06]
If a property owner who is participating in
the Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program, after the expenditure
of funds by the Township, either fails to sign the documents necessary
for participation in said program or withdraws from said program after
the project has been publicly bid and a contract awarded, then such
property owner shall be required to reimburse the Township for all
professional consultant fees actually incurred in the preparation
of the construction documents for public bidding along with any other
subconsultant fees related to preparation of the bid documents.
Upon failure of the property owner to reimburse
the Township for the professional consultant fees or subconsultant
fees due, the Township shall place a lien on the subject property
to recover any and all professional consultant fees, subconsultant
expenses and other charges incurred by the Township.
[Adopted 1-20-2009 by Ord. No. 2175-09]
A.Â
Various
sections of the administrative manual and program guidelines for the
Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program for LaMott have been amended
to provide for the owner as co-obligee, which would be consistent
with the owner having claims against the contractor, and would change
the bonding dynamics of the contractor bidding, thereby providing
the same obligation as with the Township. The bond would cover both
the homeowner and the Township.
B.Â
The homeowner
may also provide input and/or comment with regard to the preparation
of the punch list items, but the homeowner shall not delay or hinder
or prevent the final inspection from transpiring.
