Rehabilitation with lead based paint 615 kelly ST (RE-bid)

The City of Bossier City's Community Development Department is seeking a qualified contractor for a comprehensive rehabilitation project located at 615 Kelly Street, with a specific focus on lead-based paint hazard mitigation. This procurement is a Community Development Block Grant (CFDA 14.218) funded project requiring extensive home renovation, including exterior siding replacement, door installations, roof repairs, and interior renovations. Contractors must possess mandatory certification from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and hold a valid State of Louisiana Lead Contracting License. The project has a strict timeline of 60 calendar days from the notice to proceed, with a bid due date of June 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. A mandatory walk-through is scheduled for May 29, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., during which prospective bidders can inspect the property. Evaluation criteria will likely include contractor qualifications, lead-based paint certification, insurance coverage, and compliance with HUD guidelines and local building codes. Contractors must submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating their ability to safely manage lead hazard mitigation and complete the rehabilitation project.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the contract appears to have significant compliance requirements that may limit potential bidders. The project will impose liquidated damages of $25 per day for project delays, and payment terms include 90% of the contract price paid upon satisfactory completion with a 10% retainage held for 30 days after final acceptance. The contract includes a provision for potential pro-rata repayment if the property is sold or refinanced within five years of rehabilitation. Though a specific budget range was not provided, the comprehensive nature of the rehabilitation and the required lead-based paint remediation suggest a substantial investment. Contractors will need to demonstrate robust environmental safety protocols, technical expertise in lead hazard management, and the capability to complete a full residential rehabilitation within the specified timeframe. Insurance requirements will include specific coverage for lead-based work, further emphasizing the project's complex environmental and safety considerations.
