The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) is issuing this Request for Quotes (RFQ) to solicit quotes for a Contract with an appropriately California Licensed, insured and bonded General Contractor who can provide single family construction rehabilitation services to perform home accessibility modifications and deferred maintenance needed to increase the mobility, functionality, and health and safety of eligible seniors’ citizens. Bidders are advised that this RFQ is an informal solicitation and should not be construed as engaging in a formal competitive bidding pursuant to any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation. The Senior Grant Program assists with mobility and habitability repairs to help low to moderate income senior citizens (62 years or older) remain in their homes and age in place. Senior citizens must reside within the unincorporated areas (UA) of Los Angeles County Supervisorial Districts 1, 2, 4, and 5, and must own the home, which needs home modifications and repairs. Examples of modifications include wheelchair ramps, grab bars, widened doorways, non-slip floor covering, or conversions from tubs to roll-in showers. Additionally, the Program will finance deferred maintenance repairs such as roofing, plumbing, electrical, or heating that are necessary to improve the structural integrity, safety, efficiency, functionality, of the home and prolong the home’s useful age.
