Single Family New Construction - Spring Street

Greenville County, on behalf of the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority, is requesting proposals for the design, permitting, and construction of two detached single-family homes on Lots 12 and 13, Spring Street, in the City of Greer, South Carolina, with proposals due November 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The project is funded with HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is subject to all applicable federal requirements. No Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply because the project contains fewer than twelve HOME-assisted units.

GCRA will accept proposals for either modular or site-built construction methods and will evaluate both approaches on identical criteria with no preference given to either construction type. Offerors must submit their own floor plans, elevations, and construction methodologies meeting minimum standards: 900 to 1,400 heated square feet, two to three bedrooms, 1.5 to 2 bathrooms, crawlspace or slab-on-grade foundations, and ENERGY STAR certification or equivalent. All utility tap fees, capacity fees, and impact fees must be included in pricing. Each home must comply with HOME property standards under 24 CFR 92.251, current South Carolina building codes, and City of Greer permitting requirements. Contractors must hold appropriate South Carolina licenses, comply with E-Verify requirements, and provide certificates of current insurance ($1 million per occurrence general liability and automobile liability, statutory workers' compensation, and builder's risk at full replacement value).

GCRA intends to award one contract covering both homes but reserves the right to award each lot separately. Offerors may propose for either lot individually or both lots combined. Proposals must be firm fixed-price with separate pricing for each home. A 5% bid bond or certified check is required if the total proposed price exceeds $350,000. If awarded, contractors must furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract price before notice to proceed, issued by a South Carolina-licensed surety with minimum "A" A.M. Best rating listed in U.S. Treasury Circular 570.

Evaluation criteria are price (30%), design and floor plan (20%), experience with comparable residential construction (15%), capacity and schedule (10%), past performance on public-funded projects (10%), quality and energy efficiency approach (10%), and subcontracting and local outreach plan (5%). The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit will be held October 15, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Questions are due October 22, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Contract award is tentatively scheduled for December 1, 2026, with notice to proceed by December 18, 2026.
