This is a Price Form document for the City of Cleveland, Department of Community Development, supporting a professional services contract for HOME Program and URA Property Standards Inspections. The contract seeks vendors to perform federally-mandated housing inspections on residential structures with 1-4 bedrooms, including single-family homes, duplexes, and multi-family units. Vendors must be bonded and state-certified building inspectors in Ohio. The inspections cover two primary areas: HOME Investment Partnership Program follow-up inspections on previously completed housing units per 24 CFR 92.504(d)(1), and Uniform Relocation Act inspections for households affected by federally-assisted rehabilitation projects per 49 CFR 24.2(a)(8). Selected vendors must comply with NSPIRE (National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate), HUD's consolidated inspection protocol that is replacing previous Decent, Safe, and Sanitary standards interpreted through UPCS and HQS.

The pricing form establishes the rate structure for inspection services to be provided under the contract. Contractors must submit pricing that reflects the costs associated with conducting property inspections in compliance with federal requirements and NSPIRE standards. The form serves as the mechanism for vendors to present their fee schedules for individual inspections and any associated administrative or travel costs. Pricing submissions are critical to the vendor selection process and must demonstrate reasonable costs for performing thorough housing inspections on Cleveland residential properties.
