Housing Related Research, Analysis and Reporting Services
RI Housing
Providence, RI
Earlier this year, RIHousing released a Request for Proposals ("RFP") for qualified vendors to provide a range of Communication Services including services for Industry/ Market Analyses and business planning. RIHousing did not receive a sufficient number of applications from qualified vendors to provide Industry/ Market Analyses and business planning and has also identified a need for broader research and analysis services. Therefore, the Corporation is releasing a new RFP that encompasses the full range of research related services we anticipate a need for vendors to assist with.
Through this RFP, RIHousing seeks to create a list of qualified vendors that can be retained on an as needed basis to provide one or more of the below services:
- Production of plans and reports required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in conjunction with office of Community Planning and Development programs including, but not limited to: Consolidated Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, Annual Action Plan, Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
- Industry/Market Analyses/Business Planning
- Housing related research, analysis and policy recommendations
These services are set forth more fully in the Scope of Work Attachments A through C, attached hereto.
Selected vendors will be placed on a Bidder List for a term of three (3) years, with two (2) one-year extensions at the sole option of RIHousing. As the projects have not yet been identified, vendors selected to participate in the Bidder List will enter into an "on-call" style agreement. There is no guarantee of any level of spending activity to a vendor or vendors selected for this Bidder List.
Vendors may bid on one, multiple, or all services listed in this Bidder List.
Electronic submissions of the proposal should be submitted to Christine Hunsinger, Assistant Deputy Director for Policy and Research at chunsinger@rihousing.com. Proposals should be concise and include all attachments and work samples. Please submit only project summaries or hyperlinks to full reports or projects. Do not attach copies of entire reports or projects.
Proposals must be received no later than 5:00 EST p.m. on Friday, October 12, 2018.
