OHT requests licensed and bonded General Contractors in Washington State to submit their qualifications and proposals for construction services for the new construction of Dundee Hill, an affordable housing project. Proposers must provide detailed information about their experience, capacity and cost, and pricing structure for construction contracts of this type. Project Address: 1200 block of Hastings Avenue, Port Townsend, WA Parcel #: 957901203 The zoning is R-II, single family The property area: 33,000 sq. ft. Project Description and Design Goals Dundee Hill will consist of 2 two-bedroom units and 3 three-bedroom units situated next to the neighborhood's community garden. These homes will be sold to income qualified first-time home buyers of Jefferson and Clallam County and will be part of OHT’s affordable housing portfolio. The five units are designed with green building practices and focus on energy and spatial efficiency. Public and private subsidies are leveraged, and home buyers agree to a ground lease capping the future resale of the home. This allows for permanently affordable housing now and into the future. Dundee Hill’s design goals for the project include the utilization of long-lasting, durable materials, enhanced energy efficiency, rooftop solar construction, low-impact development standards utilized, and neighborhood friendly design. The project must adhere to the Evergreen Sustainable Development Standards. Additional details about the development, project history and OHT’s CLT vision.
