Emergency Temporary Housing

The City of Phoenix is establishing a five‑year, city‑wide roster of qualified rental and leasing firms to provide emergency temporary housing for residents displaced by water‑main breaks, sewer line disruptions, or other unforeseen events for which the city is liable. Qualified firms must demonstrate at least three years of recent experience managing residential rental properties, possess appropriate Arizona real‑estate licenses, and be able to mobilize housing units quickly. The solicitation requires a detailed qualifications statement, method‑of‑approach narrative, and a pricing proposal that includes per‑unit rental rates and management fees. Offers are due electronically by October 30, 2026, and the City will evaluate based on experience, staff qualifications, licensing, and price. The contract will be awarded to one or more firms that meet the criteria and can deliver housing on an as‑needed basis throughout the five‑year term. • Scope: Provide short‑term rental housing (houses, apartments, condos) to displaced residents. • Term: 5 years, no extensions. • Minimum experience: 3 years of property‑management/rental services within the past 5 years. • Required licenses: Arizona real‑estate/landlord‑tenant permits. • Evaluation criteria: Experience, staff, licenses, pricing. • Submission: Electronic via OpenGov portal; pre‑offer conference Oct 14 2026 (non‑mandatory). • Deadline for questions: Oct 16 2026; Offer deadline: Oct 30 2026, 2 PM.
