50 percent (6 target buildings divided by 

12 previously unselected buildings). 

The overall probability of any one of the 

20 single-family units being selected 

during either Phase 1 or Phase 2 is 

calculated as follows: 

Element Protocol Calculation 

Phase 1 Single-family Unit Building Selection ................. 8 of 20 buildings .............................................................. 8/20 = .40. 

Phase 2 Single-family Unit Building Selection ................. 6 of 12 buildings .............................................................. 6/12 = .50. 

Overall Possibility of Single-family Unit Building Selection During Phase 2.100% minus the 40% already selected during Phase 1 

and multiplied by the 50% chance of being selected 

during Phase 2.

(1.00 ¥ .40) x .50 = .30. 

Overall Probability of a Single-family Unit Building Selection.Probability from Phase 1 added to probability from 

Phase 2.

.40 + .30 = .70.

15. Accessibility Questions 

HUD reviews particular elements 

during the physical inspection to 

determine possible indications of 

noncompliance with the Fair Housing 

Act (42 U.S.C. 3601–3619) and section 

504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 

U.S.C. 794). More specifically, during 

the physical inspection, the inspector 

will record if: (1) There is a wheelchairaccessible route to and from the main 

ground floor entrance of the buildings 

inspected; (2) the main entrance for 

every building inspected is at least 32 

inches wide, measured between the 

door and the opposite door jamb; (3) 

there is an accessible route to all 

exterior common areas; and (4) for 

multi-story buildings that are inspected, 

the interior hallways to all inspected 

units and common areas are at least 36 

inches wide. These items are recorded, 

but do not affect the score.

properties located throughout the 

United States. A listing of the Mortgage 

Loans will be included in the due

servicing released. HUD will offer 

qualified bidders an opportunity to bid 

competitively on the Mortgage Loans. 

The Bidding Process 

The BIP will describe in detail the 

procedure for bidding in SFLS 2011–1. 

The BIP will also include a standardized 

non-negotiable Conveyance, Assignment 

and Assumption Agreement (CAA

Deposits are calculated based upon each 

bidder’s aggregate bid price. 

HUD will evaluate the bids submitted 

and determine the successful bid, in

sole and absolute discretion. If a bidder 

is successful, the bidder’s deposit will
