Professional Environmental Review & Lead-Based Paint Services

Rockdale County is soliciting proposals from qualified environmental consulting firms to provide professional environmental review and lead-based paint services for its Repair & Revitalize Program. This program provides rehabilitation assistance to eligible owner-occupied homes using funding from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs Community HOME Investment Program. The scope of work includes environmental review support for approximately 10 to 15 homes, lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments for approximately 5 homes, and necessary clearance testing. All services must comply with federal 24 CFR Part 58 and Part 35 regulations, HOME requirements, and Georgia state laws governing lead-based paint activities, which require specific professional certifications. The contract features an initial one-year term with two optional one-year renewals. Award selection is based on a past performance, quality, and price trade-off to determine the best value. Key requirements include compliance with HUD Section 3 hiring preferences, Davis-Bacon labor standards, and the submission of E-Verify affidavits. Proposers must submit their qualifications, financial stability documentation, and professional licenses via a USB flash drive in PDF format by December 10, 2026. The County serves as the sole judge of quality and performance, and payment is contingent upon the successful documentation and authorization of all services.
