RFQ Land Bank Home Repair Program

Allegany County Land Bank Corporation is requesting qualifications from residential rehabilitation contractors for inclusion on its Home Repair Program Approved Contractor List with a deadline of October 1, 2026. This is a continuous, open solicitation for project-specific competitive bidding; qualification does not guarantee work assignments.

The scope encompasses roofing, structural repairs, foundation repairs, electrical work, plumbing, heating and mechanical systems, windows and doors, exterior repairs, accessibility improvements, health and safety improvements, and general residential rehabilitation on New York properties. Contractors must demonstrate appropriate experience and capacity for requested work types and comply with all applicable local requirements and codes. EPA RRP certification is required where applicable for pre-1978 properties.

Minimum qualifications include general liability insurance of at least $1 million with a $2 million umbrella policy, required workers' compensation coverage, and submission of a Contractor Qualification Application with insurance and qualification documentation. Contractors must disclose actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest and comply with Home Repair Program requirements.

The procurement operates in two steps: Step 1 establishes the Approved Contractor List based on qualification review; Step 2 involves project-specific competitive solicitation when individual projects are ready for bidding. No specific contract value or pricing terms are stated. Property owners may identify preferred contractors for consideration, though qualification does not guarantee selection; ACLBC may award projects to the lowest responsible bidder subject to program and procurement requirements.

MWBEs and SDVOBs are strongly encouraged to apply. No incumbent contractors are identified. Contractors should submit applications to Allegany County Land Bank at 6087 State Route 19N, Suite 300, Belmont, NY 14813, via phone (585) 268-7472 ext. 7, or email alleganycountylandbank@gmail.com.
