New Construction - Spring Street Single Family Homes (Federal Funding)

Greenville County Procurement Services Division, on behalf of the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority (GCRA), is requesting proposals for the design, permitting, and construction of two detached single-family homes on Lots 12 and 13 on Spring Street in Greer, South Carolina under RFP #27018, with proposals due November 5, 2026, and a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit scheduled for October 19, 2026. The project is federally funded through HUD's HOME Investment Partnerships Program and subjects all work to federal requirements including civil rights provisions, debarment and suspension rules, the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment for contracts exceeding $100,000, and HOME property standards at 24 CFR 92.251.

GCRA seeks proposals from qualified residential builders, general contractors, and modular home providers and will accept either modular homes built to South Carolina modular standards or conventional site-built homes with no stated preference between methods. Offerors may propose for both lots; GCRA intends to award a single contract covering both homes but reserves the right to award each lot separately. The scope includes move-in-ready affordable homeownership units with separate pricing for each home. No work or cost reimbursement is permitted before GCRA issues a written Notice to Proceed, contingent on availability of HOME funds and completion of HUD environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58.

The contract is firm fixed-price with progress payments based on work completed and inspected, retainage held per GCRA contract terms and South Carolina law. Bid bonds equal to 5% of the bid price are required if total proposed price exceeds $350,000; performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of contract price must be furnished before Notice to Proceed. Nonresident contractors face 2% withholding unless they provide a South Carolina Nonresident Taxpayer Registration Affidavit.

Evaluation is weighted: price (30%), design and floor plan (20%), comparable residential and affordable-housing construction experience (15%), capacity and schedule (10%), past performance on public-funded projects (10%), quality, warranty, and energy efficiency (10%), and subcontracting and local outreach plan (5%). Questions are due October 22, 2026. The tentative award date is December 1, 2026, followed by contract negotiations through December 18, 2026.
