Rehabilitation of a Single-Family Home

Genesee County is soliciting bids through Invitation to Bid (ITB) #25-449 for the comprehensive rehabilitation of a single-family home located at G-3477 Camden Avenue in Burton, Michigan. The project, administered by the Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission (GCMPC) and funded through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, seeks to fully renovate a vacant residential property to meet Section 8 Housing Quality Standards and Michigan residential code requirements. Contractors must be pre-qualified through a separate Request for Qualifications (RFQ 25-421) process and obtain a Contractor Approval Letter from GCMPC. A mandatory walk-through inspection is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with sealed bids due by 2:00 PM (EST) on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. The rehabilitation scope includes extensive exterior and interior improvements, such as vinyl siding replacement, roof renovation, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical and plumbing system overhauls, HVAC improvements, and installation of energy-efficient appliances and windows.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but contractors must meet rigorous qualification standards and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and builders' risk insurance. Contractors will be subject to prevailing wage requirements under the federal Davis-Bacon Act and Genesee County's Prevailing Wage Policy. The successful bidder must provide a 5% bid bond or cashier's check and will be required to submit performance and payment bonds covering 95% of the total contract sum. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves full rehabilitation of a single-family home, suggesting a substantial investment. Payment will be progressive, with invoices submitted by the contractor and remittance made within 60 days upon approval. The project leverages federal funding through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, indicating a focus on improving vacant residential properties in Genesee County.
