Town of Macclesfield Request for Qualifications for Housing Services FY22 CDBG-NR Neighborhood Revitalization Project

The Town of Macclesfield, North Carolina, in Davie County, is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for technical housing services to support the FY2022 Community Development Block Grant-Neighborhood Revitalization (CDBG-NR) project funded with $930,000 from the NC Department of Commerce, Rural Economic Development Division. The procurement seeks a qualified housing services firm to provide comprehensive technical services for residential rehabilitation, reconstruction, demolition with asbestos removal, and temporary relocation activities affecting nine housing units total. Required deliverables and services include client case file processing, preparation of housing and clearance specifications, bid process management and contract document preparation, pre-construction and final inspections, change order processing, relocation housing assistance coordination, moving allowance calculations, and maintenance of beneficiary records in full compliance with CDBG-NR regulations. Evaluation will be based on capability and understanding of CDBG housing programs (25 points), project approach and timeline adherence (20 points), prior experience with state and federally funded housing programs (20 points), qualifications of key staff (10 points), project team location (10 points), responsiveness and availability (10 points), and preference for small, minority-owned, and Section 3 firms (5 points). Statements of Qualifications must be submitted by 5 pm on Monday, May 4, 2026, either as a PDF via email or as two hard copies to the Town Administrator. Critical project milestones include obligation of all funds by September 28, 2026, expenditure completion by December 28, 2026, and project closeout by March 28, 2027.

The RFQ includes preferential consideration for small, minority-owned, and Section 3 firms, though no strict set-asides are mandated. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in this procurement. The selected firm must demonstrate compliance with all North Carolina CDBG-NR program regulations, applicable federal and state statutes, 24 CFR Part 85 procurement procedures, and federal labor standards as established in the Grant Agreement between the NC Department of Commerce and the Town of Macclesfield. Fee schedules will be reviewed during the selection process but are not the primary evaluation criterion; instead, the Town will negotiate fair and reasonable compensation with the selected firm and establish a final lump sum price. One hundred percent of technical housing services costs will be funded through the 2022 CDBG-NR allocation of $930,000, making the full budget available for the selected housing services provider.
