RFP Vacant Unit Turn Services

Lake County Housing Authority is requesting bids for vacant unit turn services at five residential properties across Illinois, with proposals due August 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST. Work must comply with the Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage Act and Illinois state law; all projects over $2,000 require Davis-Bacon wage determinations and certified payroll submissions under General Decision Number IL20260008.

The scope covers turnover renovations and repairs at Shiloh Towers in Zion (studio, approximately 400 sq ft), Millview Manor in Antioch (one bedroom, approximately 550 sq ft), two units at Orchard Manor in Antioch (one bedroom, approximately 550 sq ft and 450 sq ft), and John Kuester Manor in Wauconda (one bedroom, approximately 450 sq ft). Each project includes comprehensive work in entry and common areas, general interior, living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and mechanical systems checks. Contractors must submit detailed proposals with separate line items for materials, labor, and permits.

LCHA will award contracts to the most responsive and responsible contractor offering the lowest cost per individual unit rather than the lowest aggregate total, and retains the right to reject any quote that does not meet budget requirements. Contractors must submit HUD forms HUD-5370-EZ or HUD-5370, HUD-5370-C, HUD-2530, and HUD-5369-A through HUD-5369-C along with the Davis-Bacon wage determination. Change orders require written documentation signed by both parties and submission within 10 business days; increases may require approval by the LCHA Executive Director or Board.

Building tours are scheduled for August 14, 2026. Questions are due between August 10–21, 2026. Contractors must dispose of waste materials in compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines and ensure customer satisfaction and highest standards of workmanship.
