Request for Quotations: Housing Inspection Services

Williamsport City Council proposes to use a recently approved Community Development Block Grant to undertake a residential housing rehabilitation program. The following narrative outlines the major responsibilities of the Housing Inspector proposers, from initial to final inspection for projects initiated with the city’s annual Community Development Block Grant allocations from January 2026 through December 2030. Any housing inspection services contracts awarded during this period of performance
are expected to be fulfilled through individual project completion regardless of if an individual project’s timeline extends beyond December 2030. It should be recognized by all proposers that the Scope of Services included herewith might exclude some minor, incidental housing inspection and construction management responsibilities that are not currently identifiable. The Housing Inspector must provide a list of sub consultants, if applicable, for approval by City Council with their Standard Housing Inspection
Estimate form submission.
