RFQ Contractors for Syracuse Lead Grant Program

The City of Syracuse is establishing a three‑year pool of EPA‑certified contractors to perform lead‑based paint (LBP) remediation on residential properties throughout the city. Qualified firms will be selected through this RFQ and, once awarded, will receive contracts to abate LBP hazards on up to 30 properties in the first half of 2027, with additional work added over the three‑year pool period. The work includes inspection coordination, hazard control (encapsulation, removal, or abatement), surface preparation, painting, debris removal, and post‑remediation clearance sampling, all in compliance with EPA RRP, OSHA, and NYDEC regulations. Contractors must hold valid EPA RPP firm and supervisor certifications, carry $1 M general liability and $1 M property damage coverage, workers’ compensation, and $2 M professional liability insurance. The contract term is four years with two optional one‑year renewals, and the city enforces equity goals for workforce diversity, local hiring, and M/WBE‑SDVOB subcontracting. • Scope: Residential lead‑paint remediation (windows, doors, trim, flooring, historic elements, etc.) • Pool size: Minimum 30 properties initially; additional work over 3‑year period • Contract length: 4 years (plus two 1‑year renewal options) • Certification required: EPA RPP firm & supervisor, insurance minimums as specified • Key dates: Issue Oct 8 2026, Questions Oct 27 2026, Submission Nov 10 2026 2:30 PM • Equity requirements: 30 % diverse workforce, 20 % local hiring, M/WBE‑SDVOB subcontracting targets • Location: City of Syracuse, NY (state‑wide residential properties)
