Comprehensive Needs Assessment

The Stanford Housing Authority (SHA) is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Physical Needs Assessment (PNA) of approximately 50 public housing units in Stanford, Lincoln County, Kentucky. The primary objective is to identify immediate health-and-safety concerns and lifecycle replacement needs to develop a prioritized capital improvement program, featuring a five-year project schedule and a 20-year needs projection. Key deliverables include an inspection protocol and reconciled inventory due within 15 business days of the notice to proceed, prompt notification of imminent safety concerns within one business day of identification, a draft PNA report, and a final report and presentation. The project is expected to be completed within 90 calendar days of the notice to proceed. This is a firm-fixed-price professional services contract. Proposals must be submitted in two parts: a technical PDF proposal and a separate pricing schedule by December 18, 2026. The technical proposal must include firm background, key personnel, a technical methodology, and at least three comparable references. Award decisions will be based on a weighted scoring system evaluated by an appointed committee, and the lowest-priced offer is not guaranteed to win. The contract requires compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 and HUD rules, and the selected consultant must maintain general liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability insurance. Optional services, such as energy audits meeting 24 CFR 965.302 standards, accessibility surveys, and RAD screening, may be requested but will not affect the base-price score.
