About this file
This is a Statement of Qualifications Requirements document issued by the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, establishing a qualified contractor pool for residential single-family property rehabilitation projects. The City seeks to qualify multiple plumbers, roofing contractors, building contractors, residential contractors, and general contractors to support City-administered home rehabilitation programs, including the Affordable Single-Family Homeownership Program and the Affordable Single-Family Residential Facade Improvement Program. Qualified contractors will perform interior and exterior building repairs including window replacement, painting, tiling, carpet installation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof replacement, and fence repairs. The RFQ remains open through March 15, 2029, with vendors able to submit responses at any time during the solicitation period and submittals reviewed on an ongoing basis. Mandatory pre-bid meetings are required before contractors can submit bids for individual homeowner projects. Upon selection by a homeowner, a contractor will enter into a Rehabilitation Agreement directly with the homeowner to complete approved work, with project completion timeframes ranging from 10 to 90 days.
Proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale weighted as follows: Qualifications and Experience of Firm and Staff (45 points), Project Approach (40 points), and Business Enterprise Program Outreach and Utilization (15 points). Required qualifications include a minimum of two years of experience in the relevant trade and current Florida state licensure as a Building, General, or Residential Contractor. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, commercial automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation insurance as required by Florida law. Payment is provided by the City upon inspection and written approval by both the homeowner and City, with 5 percent retainage withheld at each construction stage and disbursed after final completion. Qualified contractors remain eligible for five years provided they maintain valid Florida state licenses. The RFQ does not impose set-asides restricting responses to specific organization types; however, the City encourages proactive engagement with small business enterprises, minority-owned businesses, and women-owned businesses as subcontractors, though participation goals are voluntary and not required for award consideration.
