Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice

The City of Green Bay Economic Development is seeking a consultant to conduct an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice, which is a HUD-mandated study for the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership funds. The selected vendor will be responsible for comprehensively reviewing laws, regulations, administrative policies, and practices affecting housing location, availability, and accessibility in Brown County, Wisconsin. Key deliverables include conducting public meetings, gathering demographic and housing data, reviewing fair housing activities, examining private market housing issues, evaluating public policies, and identifying prioritized impediments with proposed corrective actions. The proposal requires a consultant with at least five years of experience and relevant certifications. Evaluation criteria will include Organizational Capabilities (30 points), Staff Qualifications (25 points), Proposal Requirements (15 points), Price (20 points), and References (10 points). The proposal is due on October 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with no pre-proposal conference required. The consultant must provide a detailed work breakdown schedule and deliver a draft AI report for City Council review before submitting the final document.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, the City will evaluate proposals based on the most advantageous bid and reserves the right to negotiate contract terms with the highest-scoring proposer. Consultants must submit three references from similar projects completed within the past two years and provide an all-inclusive pricing structure covering both direct and indirect expenses. The City is tax-exempt, and the proposal should be comprehensive in addressing all aspects of fair housing analysis. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the proposal suggests the City is seeking a detailed, comprehensive analysis that will require significant research, data collection, and reporting capabilities from the selected consultant.
