Cdbg housing rehabilitation project

The City of Bossier City's Community Development Department is seeking bids for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing Rehabilitation Project targeting the property at 1902 Scott Street. The procurement involves a comprehensive rehabilitation of a single-family home, with specific work including painting, window installation, carpet replacement, electrical and plumbing system updates, fixture replacements, and smoke detector installation. Contractors must complete the entire rehabilitation within 60 calendar days after receiving the Notice to Proceed, with a mandatory walk-through scheduled for May 29, 2025, at 10:15 a.m. The bid submission deadline is June 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder within 15% of the itemized estimate. Required qualifications include carrying $1,000,000 in general liability coverage, $100,000 in automobile coverage, and $1,000,000 in worker's compensation insurance. Evaluation criteria will focus on compliance with federal HUD guidelines, project specifications, and the ability to meet the comprehensive rehabilitation requirements outlined in the bid packet.

The procurement appears open to general contractors with appropriate licensing, though specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The project is funded through a Community Development Block Grant with a total budget cap of $45,000.00, which includes provisions for lead-based paint mitigation. Contractors must comply with specific contractual conditions, including providing a one-year warranty on workmanship and materials, and understanding potential restrictions if the property is sold or refinanced within five years of rehabilitation. The homeowner, Evelyn Smith, will have limited input in the process, such as selecting window colors and providing property access. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project represents a targeted housing improvement initiative designed to support low-income homeowners through federal community development funding. The contract includes specific federal regulatory compliance requirements and detailed specifications for comprehensive home rehabilitation.
