REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS

The City of Shamokin is seeking quotations for the services of a consultant (or team of consultants) to undertake a Comprehensive Plan and to update the current Zoning Ordinance to ensure compliance. Additionally, the firm must then overhaul and develop a complete and sound Zoning Ordinance in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan must meet the requirements of Article III of the PA MPC and utilize the Department of Community and Economic Development’s implementable plan approach. The plan will be strategic and will outline workable action plans, means of financing, and capacity to implement.

This project is being financed in part by the Economic Development and Community Development Initiatives grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Department of Community Economic Development. Required proposal format details may be obtained by contacting:

Housing rehabilitation work offers opportunity for general contractors for City of Shamokin

Posted on November 2, 2021 by DNS Admin

Contractor work may include structural, roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating/furnace, window replacement, radon mitigation, energy-related improvements, and, if they have certain certifications, lead-based paint mitigation.

Housing rehabilitation bids typically range from $20,000 to $65,000, with timely payment to contractors.

The City of Shamokin and SEDA-COG strive to work with local contractors to invest in the local economy, said Teri Provost, director of SEDA-COG’s Housing Rehabilitation program.

“Not only do these grant awards benefit the community and homeowners, but the local economy as we seek to work with local general contractors to perform this work,” Provost said.

This means work flexibility for contractors, Provost said.

“Contractors can choose where they want to work, so there’s tremendous work flexibility,” Provost said. “Additionally, our work is year-round, so we offer a steady flow of projects. And if they don’t want to perform lead-based paint mitigation, we don’t require that certification for lead-free homes.”

Interested contractors also have the option of meeting one-on-one with SEDA-COG to answer any questions they may have. SEDA-COG streamlines the process for contractors with a rehabilitation specialist assigned to each community.
