Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this solicitation is to select a qualified firm(s) to perform RAD Physical Condition Assessments (RPCAs) of the properties designated by PHA, as well as Section 18 Obsolescence Physical Condition Assessments needed for potential Section 18 demolition/disposition projects. The RPCAs will consist of a physical inspection of a sampling of identified properties listed in the chart under section 2: Background of this RFQ. The selected Contractor will provide a full range of services including evaluating the existing conditions of the housing stock including a random selection of units, common areas, offices, and program areas. The assessment will identify energy conservation measures and the cost savings that result from implementing the measures, and thereby reduce operating costs. All identified physical improvements will meet or exceed the HUD mandatory standards, and those established by local health, safety, and building codes. At a minimum, the goal of the RPCAs is to identify and provide a description of all physical improvements that will be required to bring the property back to and maintain a level comparable with “as built,” to the degree reasonably possible based on available components and building age. The effort should provide the PHA with the information necessary to ensure long term physical viability and in a manner suitable for planning and budgeting purposes. Data shall be in a format suitable for HUD reporting requirements.
