This is a Subcontractor Utilization Plan form issued by the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, for the Rehabilitation of Residential Single-Family Properties RFQ, which seeks to establish a qualified contractor pool for plumbers, roofing contractors, building contractors, residential contractors, and general contractors. The RFQ, issued on March 16, 2026, remains open through March 15, 2029, allowing vendors to submit responses at any time during the solicitation period for ongoing evaluation and qualification. Qualified contractors will perform interior and exterior building repairs including window replacement, painting, tiling, carpet installation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof replacement, and fence repairs on City-administered home rehabilitation programs such as the Affordable Single-Family Homeownership Program and the Affordable Single-Family Residential Facade Improvement Program. Proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale with weightings for Qualifications and Experience of Firm and Staff (45 points), Project Approach (40 points), and Business Enterprise Program Outreach and Utilization (15 points). Selected contractors must maintain valid Florida state licenses for a five-year eligibility period and will enter into Rehabilitation Agreements directly with individual homeowners, with work completion timeframes ranging from 10 to 90 days.

The Subcontractor Utilization Plan requires proposers to demonstrate intent to use small business enterprises, women-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and minority-owned businesses in the Tampa Bay Region, describing engagement efforts and barrier reduction strategies; however, participation goals are voluntary and not required for award consideration, and proposers will not be considered non-responsive for zero small/veteran/diverse business participation amounts. Contractors must obtain 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, along with a public construction bond equal to the full contract amount. Payment is provided by the City upon homeowner and City inspection and written approval, with 5 percent retainage withheld at each construction stage and disbursed after final completion, and any increase in contract price is limited to a maximum of 20 percent. No specific aggregate budget or individual contract award values are disclosed in the RFQ documentation.
