HI Rick,

The city of Boulder intends to hire a consulting firm to develop a Mobile Home Strategy for the city that looks at

our current MH stock and will do analysis and make recommendations on appropriate city involvement in MH issues.

Also, to look at the viability and appropriatness of MH's for the affordable housing program. I will be issuing and RFP in a couple of weeks. Do you know of any firms that are knowledgable in MH issues and would be interested in recieving notice of the RFP?

Hope you are well,

Thanks,

Michelle Allen
