RFQ for Architectural and/or Design-Build Services:
Winder Housing Authority Residential Construction Project
The Winder Housing Authority is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFQ) to architecture and/or design-build firms experienced in the development of architecture plans, construction documents, bid documents, and construction management for new construction of single-family housing. The Winder Housing Authority Construction Project includes the construction of between five and eight single-family units that will be sold to low- and moderate-income home buyers. These single-family housing units will either be configured as townhomes or as a “pocket neighborhood” of small single-family cottages. Responding firms should be technically qualified and licensed to provide these services and experienced in the preparation of plans for federally funded projects. Services provided will include preparation of a Preliminary Architectural Report and further design services if a Community HOME Investment Program (CHIP) grant, or other Federal or State funding, is awarded.
