Income Monitoring and Compliance Services

Livingston County Land Bank Corporation is requesting proposals for income verification and compliance monitoring services supporting the New York State Vacant Rental Program and Mobile and Manufactured Home Replacement Program, with proposals due July 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM. MBE and WBE participation goals of 20% and 10% respectively apply as conditions of Housing Trust Fund Corporation funding.

The scope encompasses initial and turnover income eligibility verification for tenants, annual compliance re-certification, rent limit compliance monitoring, site visit inspections (minimum 20% of units annually), owner income verification spot-checks, record-keeping, and reporting. The consultant will serve approximately 40 VRP-assisted rental units and 4 MMHR homeowner units, with expectation to support the ten-year regulatory periods associated with both programs and expand for future housing programs through contract amendments or task orders.

The estimated funding base is $2.5 million for VRP and $500,000 for MMHR. The initial contract term is three years from execution, with annual renewal options. Proposers may structure pricing as per-verification fees, per-unit annual monitoring fees, per-inspection fees, hourly rates, annual flat fees by program, or combinations thereof.

The consultant must maintain workers' compensation insurance and obtain commercial general liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), automobile liability ($1 million combined single limit), and professional errors and omissions insurance ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate). The Land Bank reserves the right to make an award based solely on written proposals without conducting interviews. Interviews are tentatively scheduled for July 16, 2026.
