Fulton County Housing Rehabilitation Program

Fulton County, Georgia is soliciting proposals from qualified public or private non-profit agencies, faith-based organizations, units of local government, and Community-Based Development Organizations to administer its Housing Rehabilitation Program on a non-exclusive basis, with proposals due September 15, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. and a pre-proposal conference on August 30, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. via Zoom.

Eligible proposers must demonstrate expertise and experience in home rehabilitation, building and safety codes, and project management. The Program Manager and other key personnel must hold a minimum of three years of work experience in housing rehabilitation within the past three years and HUD or EPA-qualified lead-based paint training. Proposers must comply with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act requirements, including E-Verify affidavits, and provide proof of insurance, financial statements, and debarment certifications prior to contract execution.

The scope encompasses general program administration, marketing, customer relations, applicant screening and qualification, project management, contractor oversight, and quarterly reporting on financial performance, program progress, and demographic data. The program provides housing rehabilitation assistance to single-family, owner-occupied homes with household incomes below area low-to-moderate income thresholds. Eligible repairs address health, safety, and structural issues; ineligible improvements include luxury items, appliances not integral to the home structure, and unnecessary physical improvements.

Fulton County has allocated approximately $374,206.03 from CDBG grant funds and $415,125.00 from HOME grant allocations. The contract will commence upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed and continue for 24 months or until funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first. The County anticipates Board of Commissioners consideration on November 2, 2022, and may conduct oral interviews and presentations with selected proposers.

Proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale: project approach (25%), qualifications of key personnel (20%), relevant project experience and past performance (35%), availability of key personnel (13%), service-disabled veterans preference (2%), and leverage of other non-County funds or in-kind donations (5%).
