Manufactured Housing Community Inventory and Study

Oswego County is seeking proposals from Planning and Housing Consultants to conduct a comprehensive analysis of existing manufactured housing community data, including windshield surveys and questionnaires, to develop an inventory and detailed study of the current MHP housing stock. This initiative is funded through a $50,000 NYS Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Planning Grant, with the goal of strengthening future applications for grants from NYS HCR and HUD. The project aims to provide valuable insights into the manufactured housing landscape within Oswego County and potentially across all New York State counties, although the contract is specifically targeted at Oswego County. The contract is expected to be completed by December 31, 2025, with a project budget ranging from $50,000 to $150,000. The solicitation encourages participation from Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB), although the set-aside for SDVOB is not specified. The procurement process emphasizes transparency and competitive bidding, with a response deadline of November 12, 2025, and a primary point of contact being Holly Carpenter, the Purchasing Director. The RFP details the submission process, project scope, and evaluation criteria, underscoring the importance of analyzing existing data to inform future housing strategies and funding opportunities. This effort represents a significant step toward understanding and improving manufactured housing options within the region, supporting Oswego County’s broader housing and community development objectives.
