The Agency contact for scheduling interviews is Amalia Lorentz, Senior Development Specialist, 510-577-3315.

If Mercy and AR/WS are unable to coordinate concurrent resident/tenant interview, then Mercy shall notify Ms. Lorentz at least 3 business days prior to each interview in order for the Agency to adequately inform the Site owner and reserve a meeting space for the interviews. Mercy shall refer any detailed relocation questions to AR/WS. b. Prior to the start of any interviews, Mercy shall submit to the Agency for review and approval an Interview Plan that includes a description of 1) the Mercy staff who will conduct the interviews, 2) the interview notification process and distribution materials for residents/tenants, and 3) the screening criteria and materials (e.g., intake form/interview questions). c. Provide for Agency approval prior to close of escrow a copy of rules which residents/tenants who choose to remain as renters on the Site must abide by. d. Upon completion of all interviews, Mercy will prepare a summary report for and meet with the Agency on the resulting resident/tenant profiles and assess with the Agency which appropriate income thresholds (e.g. very low, low) will be applied to the resident/tenants when the Agency assumes ownership and Mercy becomes the property manager. e. Agency shall collect and distribute weekly resident/tenant lists to Mercy. f. Maintain documentation and records of all interviews. II. Building Needs Assessment a. Agency will contract and pay for a basic building needs assessment of the Site. The building needs assessment shall include mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, and pest control from a sample of units and common areas. In addition, Agency will also contract and pay for a preliminary structural analysis of the building for required code upgrades and seismic retrofitting. Prior to the building needs assessment and structural analysis, Agency will coordinate with Mercy to clarify the work scope for both activities to minimize duplication when Mercy conducts its own inspection before the close of escrow per Section II(b) below. Agency will provide Mercy with a copy of the reports containing findings and conclusions upon completion of the building needs assessment and structural analysis. Upon receipt of each report, Mercy shall have 5 business days to review and provide comments to the Agency.
