Re: Lead Paint Risk Assessment/Inspectional Services (Value: $336,000)
ACTIVITY: 1092,20.10.50 (confirm) ACCOUNT CATEGORY: 54225
LEAD HAZARD CONTROL GRANT: INSPECTION SERVICES
The City was recently awarded a new $5.7M leac-paint and healthy homes grant from HUD’s Office of Lead
Hazard Control & Healthy Homes to address lead hazards in housing occupied by low-income households.
All lead hazards must be identified by a NH licensed Risk Assessor/Lead Paint Inspector per state and
federal requirements. A RFP was issued to solicit qualified proposals io provide this service. The total # of
housing units to be inspecied, per our grant agreement with HUD, is approximately 210 over the 42-month
grant period.
The Urban Programs Department evaluated the two proposals received according to the criteria within the
RFP. The Risk Assessor recommended herein successfully completed two similar contracts for the City and
has demonstrated capacity to handle the volume of work. We base this recommendation on the combination
of experience, capacity, quality of work, and cost of services. Further this company qualifies as a Woman
Owned Business (VW/BE).
The Urban Programs Department and this Office recommend awarding the contract in a sum not-to-exceed
(NTE) $336,000 to Alchemy Lead Management. The source of funding will be the Lead Based Paini
Hazard Control Grant, which has a line item budgeted for risk assessmeniiead paint inspection services.
