The primary objectives include temporary relocation services for up to 250 units and property management of 3 safe houses, supporting lead abatement efforts in owner-occupied single-family structures and rental properties up to 4 units. The contract will run from March 15, 2025, through March 15, 2029, with a 30-day cancellation option for the City.

The evaluation process will assess proposals based on organizational capacity (30 points), experience relocating families (40 points), management plan (20 points), and budget (10 points), with the City selecting the most responsive and responsible proposal. Eligible agencies must be located in Akron or Summit County and possess at least 5 years of experience with federally funded housing rehabilitation programs. The contract includes specific financial provisions, such as $500 per unit for relocation services, a $500 gift card incentive for residents relocating with family or friends, and up to $2,700 per month per safe house for utilities and services, plus a $300 monthly maintenance fee. Proposers must be registered in the federal System for Award Management and comply with the City's Affirmative Action Program, submitting a completed Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Report. The successful bidder will be required to provide insurance certificates, including Worker's Compensation, General Liability ($1,000,000 limits), and Auto Liability Insurance, with the City named as an additional insured.
