Prequalification for the Renovate Norfolk Owner Occupied Single Family, Multi Family Homes Rehabilitation

Solicitation 7698-R8-2019/KJO is a re-issuance by the City of Norfolk's Housing and Community Development agency to expand its pool of pre-qualified general contractors for the Renovate Norfolk program. The program provides interior and exterior rehabilitation services for owner-occupied single-family and multi-family residential properties, as well as rental rehab projects. These efforts are funded under the HUD Community Development Block Grant, with an estimated annual volume of 12 to 16 homes. Typical project awards are approximately 25,000 dollars, with a maximum cap of 50,000 dollars per home. Qualified contractors will be eligible to compete for individual projects for a period of up to four years. To be deemed qualified, applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial resources, facilities, and a satisfactory past performance history. Key requirements include holding DPOR-issued Lead Abatement licenses for lead-based paint work and ensuring all asbestos abatement is performed by certified personnel. All work must adhere to federal, state, and local codes, and contractors must provide a one-year guarantee following final acceptance. The City requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability and automobile policies that name the City of Norfolk as an additional insured. Applications must be submitted electronically via the designated procurement portal by August 1, 2027, though the City encourages early submissions for rolling review.
