Residential Rehabilitation & Home Repair Pre-Qualified Contractor Pool (Re-Bid)

The City of Lauderhill, Florida is requesting qualifications to establish a pre-qualified contractor pool for residential rehabilitation and home repair services on owner-occupied, single-family properties within the city, with responses due September 14, 2026 at 10:45 a.m. EST. Selection for the pool does not guarantee work assignments; qualified contractors will receive invitations to bid on project-specific opportunities as they arise.

Contractors must be licensed under Florida Statutes Chapter 489 and maintain Broward County registration, a Lauderhill Business Tax Receipt, and current insurance including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence minimum), Automobile Liability ($1 million combined single limit), and Pollution Liability where applicable. A local vendor preference under City Code Section 2-139 applies only to projects funded from non-federal or non-state sources.

Eligible services include roofing, electrical and plumbing repairs, HVAC replacement and repair, window and door replacement, accessibility improvements, interior and exterior rehabilitation, structural repairs, painting, flooring, kitchen and bathroom rehabilitation, energy efficiency improvements, and emergency repairs. Projects may be funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP), American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), and other state, local, or federal housing assistance programs.

Qualification responses are evaluated on a 100-point scale: relevant residential rehabilitation experience (20 points), qualifications of firm and key personnel (20 points), licensing and certifications (15 points), past performance and references (15 points), financial stability and resources (10 points), quality control and safety programs (10 points), and local vendor preference (10 points). Only respondents scoring 85 points or higher qualify for the contractor pool. The initial pool term is three years from award, with two optional one-year renewals based on continued compliance and acceptable performance. Contractors must comply with 2 CFR Part 200, debarment and suspension rules, HUD Section 3 requirements, the Lead-Safe Housing Rule for pre-1978 homes, and Davis-Bacon Act provisions when triggered. Responses are submitted electronically through the City's Procurement Portal (Ion Wave).
