The South Carolina State Housing Authority is seeking professional assessment services for the Ware Shoals Apartments, a historic 23-unit property located in Greenville County. The Request for Quote (RFQ) requires comprehensive evaluations across five distinct assessment categories: Accessibility Compliance Report, Capital Needs Assessment, Physical Needs Assessment, Lead Hazard Risk Assessment, and Asbestos Evaluation Report. Specific qualifications include EPA & HUD certification for lead hazard assessors and DHEC licensing for asbestos building inspectors. The solicitation requires bidders to submit separate pricing for each assessment component, with a focus on evaluating the vacant property's rehabilitation potential. Critical procurement dates include a question submission deadline of February 27, 2025, proposal due date of March 4, 2025 at 15:00:00, and an award posting scheduled for March 6, 2025. The contract period is defined as March 15, 2025 to June 15, 2025, covering a thorough examination of the 3-story apartment building originally constructed in 1923 and converted to apartments in 2008. The RFQ includes provisions for South Carolina resident contractor and subcontractor preferences, potentially creating opportunities for local businesses. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation appears to encourage local participation. The property consists of 14 one-bedroom and 9 two-bedroom units and has been vacant for several years, suggesting a significant rehabilitation project may follow these initial assessments. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the solicitation documents. The assessment will be critical for understanding the property's current condition, potential renovation needs, and compliance with accessibility and environmental safety standards. Bidders will need to demonstrate technical expertise in conducting comprehensive property assessments, with a particular focus on historical building evaluation, accessibility compliance, and environmental risk mitigation.
