RFSQ On-Call Housing Rehabilitation

The City of Avondale is accepting Contractor Applications on an ongoing basis to establish a prequalified contractors list for professional home rehabilitation and maintenance services, with applications due by 5:00 p.m. on March 31, 2027. Work is funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program administered by the Maricopa HOME Consortium, and City of Avondale general funds.

Applicants must hold Arizona Registrar of Contractors licensing with classifications B, B-3, B-4, KB-1, or KB-2; be registered with the Federal System for Award Management; carry bonding and liability and workers' compensation insurance; and score a minimum of 75 points out of 100 to qualify for the prequalified list. Services encompass professional home rehabilitation and maintenance for single-family dwellings, including minor repairs, major or substantial repairs, and maintenance. Rehabilitation projects must comply with HUD Housing Quality Standards, HUD National Standards for Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE), Maricopa HOME Consortium Housing Rehabilitation Standards, Arizona Rehabilitation Standards, Energy Star, the International Energy Conservation Code (2021 edition or better), and Arizona Governor's Office of Energy Policy Weatherization Standards. Maintenance projects may include diagnostic evaluations, cleaning, protective measures, and component replacements subject to normal wear and tear.

Evaluation of applications is weighted as follows: general information (10 points), experience and qualifications including current licensing and active SAM.gov status (50 points), and personnel qualifications with preference for Building Performance Institute (BPI) certified personnel (40 points). The City will determine short-listed firms within 21 calendar days after receipt of submittals. Once included on the Prequalified Contractors List, contractors become eligible to submit quotations on specific projects and are required to attend mandatory walk-throughs, with contractors arriving more than five minutes late ineligible to participate. Contractors should submit one PDF copy of the application to ProcurementOffice@avondaleaz.gov.
