23 -- FEMA Manufactured Housing Industry Day

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would like to extend an invitation to the Manufactured Housing Industry to meet with FEMA Housing Representatives to participate in a two (2) day round table discussion. This is not a request for proposal (RFP) and there is no guarantee that an RFP will result from these discussions. On April 16, 2007 from 9:00AM to 4:00PM, FEMA will present the specifications for the three (3) bedroom/one (1) bath UFAS and Non- UFAS manufactured homes. The purpose of the discussion is to address the feasibility of certain design concepts in advance of potential Request for Proposals (RFP) and give industry the opportunity to comment and address any concerns relating to the constructability of the concept designs.
