Environmental Services

The City of Raleigh's Housing & Neighborhoods Department is seeking a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive environmental services for residential rehabilitation projects through RFP#_274-HN-2025-7-CD. The procurement focuses on environmental testing and assessment services for single-family and multi-family residences, with specific requirements for mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, and radon testing. The department anticipates rehabilitating approximately 30 units annually, with the contract structured for an initial three-year term and potential renewals for up to two additional one-year periods. Proposals are due by April 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, with services to be priced per dwelling unit and including line items for inspections, risk assessments, site meetings, project design, clearance reporting, and project management. For properties built before 1978 and utilizing federal funds, lead-based paint and asbestos testing are mandatory, with laboratory testing fees to be billed separately from the primary service costs.

The procurement includes specific Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation goals, with clear requirements for compliance with federal, state, and local guidelines. The contract will be funded through public funds and requires strict adherence to environmental and safety standards, with particular attention to conflict of interest and non-discrimination policies. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the multi-year contract structure suggests a substantial and ongoing procurement opportunity. The geographical scope encompasses Wake County and specifically includes Biscoe Town, indicating a regional focus for the environmental services. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate expertise in environmental testing, familiarity with rehabilitation project requirements, and the ability to meet comprehensive testing and reporting standards across residential property types.
