Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether there was any thought of using modern prefab modules to speed construction along and reduce cost without compromising quality. The HADHC Director responded in the affirmative; stated the project has a fair amount of opportunity for production type construction; costs keep increasing; the unit size of the project is standardized, which is a benefit of production influence; the Housing Authority has engaged a green building consultant to get most cost effective utilities in the building. The HADHC Director continued the presentation. Vice Mayor Vella concurred with Councilmember Matarrese regarding modular construction; stated a number of facilities are 100% signed with labor at Mare Island and Lathrop, which produced units for $50,000 each; the Phoenix Project in Oakland is producing 1,000 modular units which can be configured to be 250 square foot or more living space; the benefit of the modular units is that they can be mass-produced without weather delays and there is no disruptions to and from the community; different module designs, with green components, have value; it is important to get the most bang for the buck.
