About this opportunity

The City of Pembroke Pines is requesting qualifications from environmental specialist firms to conduct residential home inspections for lead and mold assessment under RFQ PL-26-01, with proposals due July 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The City intends to award contracts to approximately two to three firms for an initial two-year term with no renewal options, replacing an existing contractor pool that expires in September 2026.

This is a federally funded procurement under HUD programs (Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, and Florida Housing Finance Corporation State Housing Initiatives Partnership funds), triggering Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, Section 3 compliance obligations, and HUD debarment and suspension certifications. All contractors must submit HUD Section 3 Form 1 with their qualification statements and comply with E-Verify employment verification requirements.

The scope encompasses environmental inspections of residential properties to determine the extent of mold and lead contamination and estimate repair costs. The City has established a fixed fee schedule: lead inspections at $500, mold inspections at $650, and post-mold inspections at $600. Qualified firms must possess specialized skills in lead and mold detection and assessment with demonstrated past performance and understanding of the work scope.

Preference points are available for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (2.5 points), Minority-Owned Businesses, Woman-Owned Businesses, and other certified small business enterprises. Contractors must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, workers' compensation insurance, and automobile liability insurance. Vendors must be registered and active on SAM.gov. Questions are due July 12, 2026. Sealed electronic proposals will be publicly opened at 2:30 p.m. on July 21 by the City Clerk's Office with virtual participation available via Cisco Webex. No proposal security, payment bonds, or performance bonds are required.

Opportunity text

The City of Pembroke Pines is seeking statements of qualifications from qualified firms, hereinafter referred to as the Contractor, to acquire proposals from qualified firms with specialized skills and interest in providing professional services to conduct environmental inspection services to determine the extent of mold and lead that is present in the property and the cost for each repair, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in this solicitation.

The intent of this RFQ is to contract with approximately two (2) or three (3) Environmental Specialists to perform environmental inspections for home health hazards, such as lead and mold.

Interested firms shall submit qualification statements, performance data and other information relative to the proposed Scope of Services. Responses will be evaluated by a Selection/Evaluation Committee. Firms that do not provide the information requested, or which fail to meet the minimum qualification criteria, shall be disqualified from further consideration.

The City of Pembroke Pines receives funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through multiple programs including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). In addition, it receives State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. From time to time, it may receive similar types of funds to carry out similar activities.

The City utilizes a pool of General Contractors, Home Inspectors, and Environmental Specialists for these projects. The pool of contractors for Home Inspectors and Environmental Specialists services is set to expire in September 2026.

The City is issuing RFQ # PL-26-01 "Environmental Specialists for Residential Home Inspection" and RFQ # PL-26-02 "Residential Home Inspection and Cost Estimating Services". These solicitations will replace the existing pool of contractors. Pursuant to regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a vendor can only participate in one of the three pools of vendors; therefore, a proposer can only submit a response for one of the two RFQs.

Any vendor (including vendors currently under contract with the City) that wishes to be part of the new pool of contractors must submit a response to this solicitation.

Compliance

The work to be performed under this contract is subject to the requirements of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, and its implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 75. The purpose of Section 3 is to ensure that economic opportunities, including employment and contracting, generated by certain HUD financial assistance shall, to the greatest extent consistent with 24 CFR Part 75, be directed to low- and very low-income persons and to Section 3 business concerns.
