Residential Rental License Inspection Program

The Village of Schaumburg, Illinois, is soliciting proposals for its Residential Rental License Inspection Program through the Community Development Department. The selected contractor will be responsible for conducting interior and exterior inspections of approximately 12,000 single-family detached rental properties to ensure compliance with Building, Fire, Zoning, and Life Safety codes. All inspection personnel must be ICC-certified as Property Maintenance Housing Inspectors. The contract features an initial one-year term with the option for three one-year extensions, and the Village maintains the right to terminate the agreement with 30 days' written notice. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by February 21, 2025, at 10:00 am. Evaluation is based on a trade-off analysis where cost is weighted equally with technical factors, including the contractor's understanding of the project, qualifications, approach, and references. Required submission materials include a cover letter, a project understanding statement, resumes of key personnel, and a completed pricing sheet for an estimated 400 hours of service. Awardees must comply with various Illinois state laws, including the Human Rights Act and the Employment of Illinois Workers on Public Works Act, and must maintain insurance with an A.M. Best rating of A- or better.
