Overview
The goals of the Healthy Homes Saint Paul Pre-weatherization program are to repair homes of low- and moderate-income households that need basic life and safety improvements. These types of repairs enhance comfort, well-being, and safety while also reducing energy bills.
The City of Saint Paul is seeking a Program Administrator to provide eligible homeowners and property owners with allowable pre-weatherization repairs that position the homes to be eligible for future weatherization improvements.
The program administrator(s) will be responsible for implementing a program model designed to pre-weatherize single-unit residential and multi-unit (i.e., 2-4 unit) residential properties. Pre-weatherization is the remediation of health and safety issues that would prevent weatherization.
Low- and moderate-income households in Saint Paul were disproportionately impacted by COVID through higher infection and death rates and economically via impacts on low‐wage jobs, and these families will be the focus of the Healthy Homes Saint Paul Program. Living in a home that needs basic repairs and uses excess energy is a source of added stress and financial strain and can put families at greater health and safety risks.
Applicants to the request for proposals (RFP) must meet the following criteria to be eligible:
- Hold an active business license with the State of Minnesota
- Business is classified as 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Services
- Hold a federal Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) with SAM.gov, and have registration in good standing
- Have experience weatherizing and pre-weatherizing one-to-four-unit owner-occupied and rental properties
- Have adequate resources and capacity to weatherize each property that receives pre-weatherization services through the program
The City of Saint Paul expects to select one or two program administrators. The total available funding to apply for through this RFP is $984,633.
