Neighborhood Stabilization Program Design-Build Contractor

The City of Kissimmee is soliciting Requests for Proposals (RFP2025-012) for a Neighborhood Stabilization Program Design-Build Contractor to construct a single-family residential unit at 219 Randolph Avenue. The project requires a design-build contractor to develop and construct a one-story home approximately 1,800 square feet with three or four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Contractors must provide comprehensive services including conceptual and as-built design drawings, permit acquisition, full construction, and project closeout. Evaluation criteria will assess professional experience (20 points), federal/state experience (15 points), project accomplishment plan (20 points), references (10 points), and price proposal (35 points). Key project dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid workshop on August 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM, proposal submissions due by 2:00 PM on August 26, 2025, with a public bid opening at 3:00 PM the same day, and an anticipated contract award on September 16, 2025. The project is funded through HUD's Neighborhood Stabilization Program and requires compliance with specific federal regulations including Energy Star standards, Davis-Bacon wage rates, Section 3 hiring requirements, and Build America Buy America (BABA) provisions.

The contract has a total estimated project cost of approximately $250,000 and does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in residential design and construction, with specific experience in HUD-funded projects. The project requires strict adherence to federal regulations, including designing the home to meet Energy Star Qualified New Homes standards and complying with federal labor and procurement guidelines. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified in the documentation. The project represents an opportunity for design-build contractors with experience in residential construction and federal housing program compliance to participate in a neighborhood stabilization initiative. Interested contractors must be capable of managing the entire project lifecycle, from initial design through final certification of occupancy, and demonstrate the technical and administrative capabilities to successfully complete a federally funded residential construction project.
