Request For Qualifications For Residential Inspectors For Rehabilitation On Residential Property Und

The City of Newnan, through the Newnan Urban Redevelopment Agency (NURA), has initiated a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking licensed Residential Inspectors to support a $4.6 million housing rehabilitation and new construction program funded by a Congressionally Directed Spending Request in the FY2023 Federal Budget. This program focuses on rehabilitating owner-occupied homes and constructing new residences on City-owned properties within Newnan, Georgia. The RFQ is intended to establish a qualified pool of inspectors who are experienced, timely, and cost-effective in performing detailed property inspections, identifying necessary repairs that ensure compliance with local, state, and national building codes, and providing accurate cost estimates for rehabilitation efforts. Inspectors must be licensed in Georgia, demonstrate financial stability, maintain appropriate insurance, and comply with federal and state regulations including HUD program requirements, E-Verify work authorization laws under Georgia legislation (O.C.G.A. § 13-10-91), and Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act. Selection will be based on a best-value trade-off evaluation system that scores candidates on experience, timeliness, compensation rates, familiarity with HUD programs, and other relevant attributes, weighing experience, timeliness, and cost most heavily. The solicitation is open-ended without a fixed response deadline and requires submission of comprehensive qualification documents including licenses, insurance evidence, professional references, and certification forms related to debarment status and employment eligibility verification. Compliance with Georgia’s E-Verify mandates and federal HUD debarment rules is mandatory, with execution of notarized affidavits required at multiple subcontractor levels. Inspections will be performed on-site at residential properties, and acceptance will be administered through NURA with final administrative acceptance located at City offices. While no detailed pricing or contract period has been defined, the overall contract is managed under the authority of the City of Newnan and NURA, with Andrew Moody serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and submissions. The contract documentation emphasizes regulatory compliance, including state-specific contractor and subcontractor affidavits, but does not specify conventional federal acquisition clauses or impose packaging, preservation, or FOB terms.
