The Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA or Authority) is seeking to hire a verifier for single-family and multi-family new housing projects funded and being built to the National Green Building Standard (NGBS). The selected verifier will provide technical assistance to the Authority, subrecipient cities and counties, and developers, and will verify that the new housing units comply with the applicable NGBS level. The initial contract term is 2 years with a possible 1-year extension, for a total of 3 years. Proposals are due by 4:00 PM local time in Des Moines, IA on May 31, 2024, and the Authority anticipates issuing a Notice of Intent to Award on June 21, 2024, with the contract to start on July 1, 2024. The Authority will evaluate proposals based on criteria such as the contractor's demonstrated ability to enhance the effectiveness of the Authority, cost of services, past performance, professional experience, financial stability, and ability to comply with the RFP and contract terms. The successful contractor must employ staff with active NGBS Green Verifier accreditation for the duration of the contract.
This contract opportunity is funded through the Community Development Block Grant program, and the Authority reserves the right to award one contract for all scope of work or multiple contracts, whichever is deemed in the best interest of the Authority. The RFP does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the RFP does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP also does not specify a possible award value or budget range.
