Request for Proposals/Bids #1- Cactus Corner Duplexes, Eads, CO

The Southeast Colorado Regional Housing Authority (SECRHA) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) #1 for the Cactus Corner Duplexes project located in Eads, Colorado, seeking qualified contractors to complete urgent construction tasks for three partially constructed duplex housing units. The procurement focuses on specific construction deliverables, including completing the roof on the west duplex, finishing stucco work on the west and center duplexes, repairing the center duplex's porch roof support, and installing foundation and attic vents in all three units. Contractors must submit comprehensive documentation, including business information, itemized costs, proof of insurance, entity registrations, and a Section 3 Business Self-Certification Worksheet. The RFP requires contractors to adhere to HUD's Section 3 program guidelines and aims to provide rental housing for low-to-moderate income residents. Proposals are due by April 30, 2025, with contractor selection expected prior to May 7, 2025, and a preferred completion date of June 15, 2025.

The project is designated as a Section 3 Project, which provides employment, training, and contracting opportunities to low-income individuals, with potential restrictions favoring local and disadvantaged businesses. The three duplexes will total six apartments (featuring 2 and 3 bedroom units, including one ADA-accessible unit), with each unit measuring approximately 29ft x 76ft. Partial funding comes from revolved Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding through the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Division of Housing. The project will be owned and managed by Southeast Colorado Enterprise Development, Inc., with an emphasis on local economic development. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the project represents a significant infrastructure investment in affordable housing for the Eads community, with potential contract values reflecting the comprehensive construction requirements outlined in the RFP.
