Re-Bid City of Newton - One Home Rehabilitation

The City of Newton, in collaboration with the Western Piedmont Council of Governments (WPCOG), is conducting a re-bid solicitation for a residential home rehabilitation project funded through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Scattered Site Housing Project. The procurement seeks licensed General Contractors with Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) certification to complete comprehensive rehabilitation work on a single property located at N. Rankin Avenue in Newton, North Carolina. The project's scope encompasses multiple critical renovation elements, including tree removal, exterior girder replacement, guttering installation, new window and exterior door installation, electrical and plumbing upgrades, HVAC work, floor covering installation, interior painting, and additional carpentry work. Qualified contractors must be RRP lead-certified at both firm and individual levels and possess a valid general contractor license. Proposals must be submitted by 2:00 PM on December 8, 2025, through various submission methods including email to laurie.powell@wpcog.org, fax, mail, or hand-delivery to the WPCOG office in Hickory, NC. While no mandatory pre-bid or site visit meetings are required, contractors are expected to coordinate independent site visits with the homeowner prior to bid submission.

The City of Newton actively encourages participation from small and minority-owned businesses and reserves the right to reject any proposals and waive informalities permitted by law. The procurement process stipulates that only prime General Contractors may submit bids, with subcontractors prohibited from direct bidding. The prime contractor will bear full responsibility for any subcontractor performance. The project's anticipated cost range is between $40,000 and $72,000, though actual costs may vary. All work must be performed exclusively by the prime contractor or their licensed subcontractors, ensuring comprehensive oversight and quality control. The re-bid status indicates that the initial bid opening on November 20, 2025, received only a single proposal, prompting this renewed solicitation. Potential bidders are required to submit any questions regarding bid documents in writing via email to the designated contact, maintaining transparent and structured communication throughout the procurement process.
