STATEMENT OF WORK AND PROGRAM PROCEDURE TYPE 'B' CONTRACT

The Contractor for a Type B contract shall research, develop and design innovative concepts, and provide full documentation of descriptions, operations, costs, results of tests and evaluation activities. This contract will contain no option providing for prototype construction.

The Contractor will be required to provide information and other products listed below, to the extent that these items have been included in the contract:

Sketches and descriptions illustrating the materials, components
and systems which have been developed, including the mechanisms

whereby these elements are incorporated into the total housing package.

Reports on individual tests and evaluations conducted during the
contract period.

Any devices such as models and visual aids which assist in illustrating or demonstrating the innovative and unique features of the material, component or system.

- Discussion and evaluation of innovations in land use, processing, financing and other administrative matters which have been developed under the contract.

Periodic and final reports and briefings as outlined below and
required by the contract.

The Contractor will be required to submit a monthly letter status report; the format and content of this report will be mutually agreed to by the Government and the Contractor during contract negotiations. It is anticipated that this report will include the following items:

1. Major problems and proposed actions for solution.

2. Technical progress as measured against the established schedule. 3. Expenditures and commitments, related to expenditure forecasts. 4. Proposed or potential deviations from original plan and program. Status Reviews will be held when deemed necessary and as required by the contract, at the Contractor's place of business or elsewhere as may be decided by the Contractor and the Government. This review is to provide the Government with an opportunity to review and evaluate the Contractor's performance and progress, and to allow the Contractor to identify problems requiring Government action and to obtain program redirection as may be required.

A final report will be required at the completion of the contract; detailed requirements for this report will be negotiated at the appropriate time in contract award activities.

Government-Furnished Information

The Government will provide information and direction for the planned
effort, including specific program requirements and reporting procedures,
and information on standards and testing procedures. The Government
also expects to develop with the Contractor necessary information to
permit the use of the developed material, component or system in the
production of housing.

Funding and Schedule

Contracts for Research and Advanced Development Activities will be costreimbursable or fixed-price contracts, as may be negotiated in each specific instance. The length of these contracts will depend on individual contract requirements.

V. DESIGN CRITERIA

Imaginative solutions to the problems inherent in large-scale production of acceptable housing are encouraged. The Proposer is accorded an opportunity for creation of a total living environment utilizing a wide variety of housing types and sizes considering normal design requirements for occupant and public health and safety and with minimum constraints practicable on production and erection. The following criteria and general outline specifications are provided as a guide to the level of quality and performance desired.

A. Site Considerations

Production housing may be constructed anywhere in the United States;
design consideration must be given to the site elements listed below
which will vary among locations.

1. Prototype Sites

Approximately eight prototype sites will be selected by HUD and
brought under Government control prior to the realease of the Phase I
design contracts. The prototypes are to serve as test and consumer
acceptance models. Systems selected for prototype construction may
have one or more models of each housing type built on each site
where the climate is appropriate. The number of models and the final
selection of sites will be determined by HUD based on recommendations
by the Proposer as to the number required for proper system evaluation.

While the prototype sites will be identified in the design contracts, the specific areas on the site to be assigned to a particular system will be the subject of negotiation and design integration during Phase I. Master

planning for the prototype sites will be performed during Phase I by consultants working for HUD in cooperation with the Contractors' planners. Data provided in the proposals, including innovative concepts for the use of land and environment, may be used by HUD in its selection of these planning consultants.

2. Climate

To permit proper test of housing systems in various climates, the prototype sites will be located to provide the maximum possible climatic variation.

The Proposal is to indicate the climatic region(s) considered as appropriate locations for the proposed system. The proposed system must be designed to withstand conditions of the indicated region(s) including temperatures, humidity, rainfall, wind, hail, and snow accumulation.

3. Geologic and Soil Conditions

Systems are expected to be usable on sites consisting of natural, stable, well drained soils. In addition, proposed construction systems will be evaluated on the degree to which they are adaptable to one or more of the commonly encountered marginal soil conditions. These marginal soil conditions include:

Special engineering evaluations should be made where critical problems of earthquakes, landslides or sinkholes are potential or known to exist.

Site topography may vary as follows (note applicability of the proposed system):

6.

Production sites may be of such size as to constitute single unit lots, small multiple unit lots, and large tracts. The applicability of the proposed system to this range of site sizes or varying densities should be stated.

Site Situation

Production sites may be situated in urban, suburban, or rural areas, and may be large, open tracts or located between the boundaries of
