Environmental Inspection and Reporting

The Colchester Housing Authority is soliciting proposals from licensed environmental professionals to conduct a Phase 1 Environmental Survey and a Hazardous Materials survey for Ponemah Village, a multi-unit elderly housing complex in Colchester, Connecticut. The project consists of five two-story residential buildings constructed circa 1979 and is intended to support extensive renovations, including the replacement of roofs, windows, doors, and heat pumps, as well as updates to kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical and plumbing systems. The required assessments must cover mold, lead-based paint, lead in water, radon, PCB, and asbestos-containing materials. Contract award will be based on a point system, with 60 points allocated to capacity based on prior experience with similar CDBG residential housing projects, 30 points for the lowest responsible bid price, and 10 points for businesses located within 75 miles of the site. Additional bonus points are available for registered minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, or small businesses. Proposals must be submitted by 2:00 pm on November 19, 2026, and must include a cover letter, technical qualifications, staff experience, a list of subcontractors and laboratories, professional references, and evidence of Connecticut licensure.
