The City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department is soliciting proposals under RFP-2026-0013 for a composite price structured Master Contract Agreement to provide rehabilitation and reconstruction services for eligible low-to-moderate owner-occupied single-family residences. The contract aims to establish multiple qualified contractors for an initial three-year term, with two optional one-year renewals. The scope of work includes structural repairs, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and site improvements for homes typically exceeding 1,200 square feet, with individual project budgets capped at 100,000 dollars for rehabilitation and 300,000 dollars for reconstruction. Performance is measured by a 90-day construction schedule and mobilization within 30 days of award, with final acceptance based on on-site inspections and the completion of a government-verified punch list. Award selection is based on a best-value trade-off method, heavily weighting technical competence at 80 points, price at 20 points, and offering up to 5 bonus points for local preference. Mandatory threshold criteria include responsiveness, financial stability, and M/WBE participation. Contractors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management and comply with stringent federal and local regulations, including HUD Section 3, the Disaster Recovery Act of 2018, ADA accessibility guidelines, and lead-based paint abatement standards. The agreement requires 100 percent payment and performance bonds for individual task agreements, as well as comprehensive builder's risk and general liability insurance. Proposals must be submitted electronically by August 27, 2026, following a strict tabbed format including certifications for debarment, anti-lobbying, and M/WBE participation.
