CDBG-NR-03 - Owner-Occupied Home Rehabilitation

The state and local contract opportunity is a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Neighborhood Revitalization project for owner-occupied home rehabilitation, specifically targeting a property located at 919 2nd Street in Spencer, North Carolina. The procurement is being administered by the Salisbury Community Development Corporation (CDC) on behalf of the Town of Spencer and Rowan County, with funding from the North Carolina Department of Commerce's Rural Economic Development Division. The project requires a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive home renovations, including accessibility modifications, lead paint abatement, electrical and plumbing updates, flooring replacement, and interior/exterior repairs. Key deliverables include enlarging doorways for handicap accessibility, installing new flooring, replacing electrical and plumbing fixtures, painting, repairing foundation and siding, constructing handicap ramps, and updating the kitchen and bathroom. Contractors must be licensed in North Carolina, possess a Renovate, Repair, & Paint (RRP) certification, and provide proof of insurance. The bid is scheduled for release on Thursday, June 5, 2025, with bids due on Monday, June 30, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize compliance with EPA and HUD lead hazard control guidelines and the ability to execute comprehensive rehabilitation services.

The project appears to be part of a broader affordable housing initiative without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The total project is funded through a $750,000 CDBG grant, which suggests a substantial budget for rehabilitation work. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in lead-safe renovation practices, as a comprehensive lead inspection report is included in the bid documents. The project targets scattered-site homeowner rehabilitation, indicating potential for multiple similar projects in the future. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly listed, the involvement of the Salisbury CDC suggests a structured approach to community development. The rehabilitation will focus on a single-family residential property, with an emphasis on improving accessibility and overall housing conditions for low-income homeowners. Prospective contractors should be prepared to work within strict regulatory frameworks and demonstrate a commitment to comprehensive, high-quality home restoration services.
