Horry County, South Carolina is soliciting bids for a single-family home rehabilitation project located at 2330 Old Chesterfield Road in Longs, SC 29568, under Bid #2025-02-028. The project is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CDBG) and the USDA Section 533 Housing Preservation Grant, focusing on comprehensive rehabilitation of an approximately 786 square foot single-family home. Contractors must possess an active South Carolina General Contractor's License and be prepared to complete 100% of the work within a sixty (60) calendar day contract term, with a requirement to self-perform at least 60% of the work. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the project site, with electronic bid submissions due by February 28, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. through Horry County's bid software. Key project considerations include addressing lead-based paint hazards identified in the lead inspection report, which documented elevated lead concentrations on exterior wood window frames and front porch columns. Bidders must submit a comprehensive packet of required forms, including non-collusion affidavits, legal litigation statements, and various federal and state compliance certifications.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the comprehensive bid forms suggest a commitment to inclusive and transparent bidding practices. Liquidated damages of $200 per calendar day will be assessed for delays beyond the specified completion timeframe, and contractors will be paid net thirty (30) days upon receipt of a correct invoice. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, bidders must include local sales tax (8% for Horry County, 9% within Myrtle Beach city limits) in their unit pricing. The project involves rehabilitation of a metal-roofed, vinyl-sided home with wood-framed windows and mixed wall coverings, requiring careful attention to lead-based paint mitigation. Contractors will need to provide proof of insurance, active business licenses, and comply with drug-free workplace policies and anti-lobbying regulations. The solicitation indicates a focus on local contractors with the capability to comprehensively rehabilitate the residential property while adhering to federal housing and environmental standards.
