Unit Turnover Services

The Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA) is seeking sealed bids for Unit Turnover Services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to prepare vacant public housing and midrise apartment building units across all NRHA communities in Norfolk, Virginia for immediate occupancy. The procurement encompasses comprehensive unit turnover services including deep cleaning, electrical maintenance, plumbing maintenance, flooring installation, hardware installation, HVAC work, painting, and other as-needed repairs, with NRHA anticipating approximately 15 to 30 unit turnovers per month. Bidders must submit hourly rates for eight service categories: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting, cleaning, general labor, and flooring services, with an estimated materials cost of $6,000 per unit turnover. All work must be completed within five calendar days of task order issuance, including punch list items, with work beginning within 48 hours of notification. This is a time and materials-based contract with no profit markup allowed on contractor-furnished materials, and NRHA reserves the right to make multiple awards to the lowest responsible bidders within budget constraints. Key deadlines include a questions deadline of April 1, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST, and sealed bid submission through the Bonfire Interactive Portal by April 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST. The contract period is two years with a one-year renewal option, and no pre-proposal conference will be held.

Contractors must demonstrate substantial qualifications and insurance coverage to be considered, including workers' compensation insurance, commercial general liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability of at least $500,000 per occurrence, with NRHA named as an additional insured. All bidders must comply with prevailing wage requirements as determined by HUD and pay Section 3 prevailing wages, and contractors must provide a quality control plan before contract award. There is no incumbent contractor for this effort, and no set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types are specified in the procurement documents. The contract is funded through HUD public housing assistance, with an estimated materials cost of $6,000 per unit turnover; however, no specific overall contract award value or budget range is provided in the available documentation. NRHA reserves the right to cancel or terminate any resulting contract without penalty upon 60 days' written notice, providing flexibility in contract management based on organizational needs.
