Summary of Request:
The Ignition-Resistant Project (Project) is a rebate program intended to incentivize homeowners to replace flammable roofing materials with non-flammable materials to improve community resiliency in the face of wildfire and prevent loss of life and property.
Program participants will replace flammable roofing material with a Class A roofing as defined by UL 790 or ASTM E 108, including the replacement of roof/attic vents with Class A flame-resistant vents on residential structures. Participating homeowners will be eligible for partial reimbursement (75% of cost) of roofing and vents if their home is located in the high or very high fire hazard severity zone (FHSZ) as designated by CAL FIRE. Homeowners who already have a Class A roof but wish to replace their non-flame-resistant vents with Class A flame-resistant vents will also be eligible, so long as they are in the high or very high FHSZ. The program will operate on a first come first served basis.
The County receives funding for this project through FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The project will be completed in two phases, with Phase I consists of solicitation of program participants, securing roof and/or vent replacement bids, and submitting a list of participating homes to FEMA for environmental review. Phase II consists of the actual construction. Funding for Phase II will not be determined by FEMA and CalOES until Phase I is completed. This contract is for Mendocino County Fire Safe Council (MCFSC) to manage Phase I of the Project.
The County applied for this project in 2018. The County was notified of funding near the end of 2020 with a project deadline of August 2021. The County conducted a competitive procurement process for project management services but did not receive any responses. The County then negotiated for the service with MCFSC. This contract is retroactive to allow MCFSC time to complete the project within an aggressive timeline. The County is working with the CalOES to extend the project deadline to December 31, 2021
