DEBRIS REMOVAL

 

Mortgagees are required to perform all debris removal services. (Interior and exterior)

 

One before and one after photograph is required for each room or outbuilding containing debris to be removed.

 

 

Instructions for Mortgagees Required to Perform all Debris Removal Services:

 

Broom sweeping and dump fees are part of the maximum allowable cost limit for debris removal and are not considered separate services or claimable expenses.  Abandoned vehicle removal is not included in the debris removal cost limit and must be performed in accordance with local laws.

 

No amount over the cubic yard or overall cost limit which does not have prior written approval from the M&M contractor is to be claimed for reimbursement.  Mortgagees are reminded that prior written approval is required to claim reimbursement for any amounts that exceed the cost limit. When requesting approval to exceed the debris removal cost limit, the mortgagee must obtain two independent competitive bids.  If the mortgagee uses a national field service company, one of the bids may be provided by the field service company.  However, the second independent and competitive bid may not be channeled through the field service company, and both bids must be submitted to HUDs designee by the mortgagee.

 

Under no circumstances may the mortgagee allow field service companies or contractors to process and submit the second bid (or an additional bid if so required) directly to the M&M contractor.  This violates the integrity of HUDs requirement for an independent and competitive bid process and is prohibited.

 

The bids must specify the types and location of the debris and the number of cubic yards.  Any additional costs of non-general refuse should be factored into the final bid and clearly indicated for M&M contractor review.  All bids should be on the bidder's company letterhead and must include the bidders name, address, telephone number and the bidder's signature.  Upon receipt of the bids, the mortgagee must date stamp them and attach them to a Request to Exceed Cost Limits for P & P (see Attachment 9) which is to identify all other preservation and protection expenses to date so that the M&M contractor will know if and by how much the mortgagee will exceed the maximum allowable cost limit.  Any debris removed per local code is also subject to the established cost limits on debris removal.

 

Bids are required for debris removal only to exceed the allowable cost limit.  There may be instances where because of the remote location of the property or for some other reason, the mortgagee may have difficulty in obtaining the required number of bids.  Therefore, mortgagees may appeal to M&M contractor in those cases where they encounter difficulties in obtaining estimates.  For such cases, the local M&M contractor may accept less than the required number of bids before issuing approval to exceed the limit.  All such exceptions shall be provided to the mortgagee in writing.  Mortgagees will not be reimbursed for the cost of obtaining bids.  Upon receipt of the required bids from the mortgagee, the M&M contractor will do one of the following:

 

·        Notify the mortgagee to accept one of the bids submitted;

 

·        Accept neither bid but secure a bid from a M&M contractor source and notify the mortgagee of the approved cost and vendor.  The mortgagee may then either (1) remove the debris via its own source for the approved cost or (2) contract directly with the M&M contractor source for the approved bid amount; or

 

·        Notify the mortgagee to convey the property without removing the debris.

 

Clean Out of the Interior of the Property (Includes Attic, Basement, and Crawl Spaces):

 

Clean-outs of the interior of the property must include the removal and proper disposal of debris, including shabby or torn carpet, cracked or torn linoleum; health and safety hazards, including dead animals; and personal effects such as furniture, clothing, dishes and utensils, unless otherwise instructed by local law enforcement during an eviction.  Each interior room must be broom cleaned at the time of conveyance.  This standard also applies to garages (attached or detached), sheds, barns, utility rooms, and other structures located on the property.

 

All free-standing appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, washers and dryers, etc., and all light fixtures, ceiling fans, mantels, wall mirrors, and fireplace gas logs are to be left in the property. All appliances are to be documented that they are present on the property so that future inspections will show if any of the free-standing appliances are missing. Documentation must be maintained in the mortgagee's review file if appliances are discovered missing on future inspections.  Refrigerators and stoves must be cleaned of all organic materials and other debris.

 

Bug and/or Pest Infestation:

 

If, on the initial inspection, the mortgagee finds the property to be infested with roaches, water bugs, mice, rats, etc., to the extent that clean-out and debris removal cannot be effectively completed, the mortgagee should have the property properly fumigated by a Pest Control Service licensed to conduct such business in the area where the property is located.  If no cost limit is provided in the variations to the general requirements, contact the M&M contractor.
