Re-Bid City of Newton - Lead Based Paint Abatement

The City of Newton, North Carolina, in coordination with the Western Piedmont Council of Governments (WPCOG), is soliciting proposals from certified lead-based paint abatement contractors for a residential rehabilitation project funded through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Scattered Site Housing Project. The procurement focuses on lead-based paint abatement services for a single-family home located on N. Rankin Avenue, with specific work requirements including the abatement of 14 windows, an exterior door, exterior walls, and minor additional areas. Contractors must be currently certified in lead-based paint abatement and prepared to coordinate closely with the rehabilitation contractor, particularly regarding window work. The project requires comprehensive cleaning of surrounding areas to ensure successful abatement clearance testing. Proposals must be submitted by 2:00 PM on December 8, 2025, through email to laurie.powell@wpcog.org, fax to 828-322-5991, or mailed/hand-delivered to WPCOG at 1880 Second Avenue NW, Hickory, NC 28601. Site visits are the contractor's responsibility and must be arranged directly with the homeowner, with no pre-bid or mandatory meetings scheduled.

The City of Newton explicitly encourages small and minority-owned businesses to submit proposals and reserves the right to reject any submissions or waive informalities as permitted by law. While no specific set-aside percentages are detailed, the procurement language suggests a preference for diverse business participation. Contractors must provide all required documentation to qualify for the project, which is funded through a CDBG grant. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the procurement documents. The re-bid nature of this solicitation indicates that the initial bid opening on November 20, 2025, resulted in only one proposal, prompting this renewed solicitation. All questions regarding the bid documents must be submitted in writing to laurie.powell@wpcog.org, and interested contractors are responsible for obtaining and reviewing all relevant documentation prior to submission.
