CDBG - Lead Based Paint Inspection and Risk Assessment - 2026-001ER - CLHI

The City of Lubbock's Community Development Department is seeking qualified vendors to conduct a lead-based paint inspection and risk assessment for a single-family residential home through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2026-001ER. This procurement is funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and specifically targets comprehensive lead-based paint hazard identification services. The project requires vendors to perform a detailed visual inspection, environmental testing, and risk assessment documentation in strict accordance with EPA and HUD guidelines. Qualified bidders must demonstrate relevant certifications and extensive experience with residential lead inspections. Sealed bids must be submitted either by mail or placed in the Community Development drop box located at 1708 Crickets Ave., Lubbock, TX 79401, with the submission deadline set for January 20, 2026. The evaluation will focus on identifying the lowest qualified and responsive bidder who meets all technical and compliance requirements specified in the ITB document.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions are explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the procurement appears open to professional environmental inspection firms with appropriate lead-based paint assessment credentials. The project is geographically linked to Henderson County, Texas, though the bid is being processed through the City of Lubbock's Community Development Department. The contract will be awarded as a lump-sum fee for complete inspection and assessment services, with pricing to be competitively determined through the bidding process. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements are identified in the current documentation. The scope suggests this is a targeted, single-property assessment project, implying a relatively modest contract value typical of CDBG-funded residential hazard mitigation initiatives. Potential bidders are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review all scope requirements and supporting documentation before submitting their proposals.
