- Description
- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban development (HUD) is issuing Request for Proposal Number R-CHI-00954 in support of the HUD headquarters, Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), Program Evaluation Division. One Indefinite-Quantity Contract (IQC) is expected to be awarded as a result of this solicitation for Evaluation of Office University Partnership Programs. Several of HUD's community development grant programs would benefit from in-depth evaluations. This IQC will give HUD the opportunity to conduct at least one or two of those evaluations. Community Development activities include many different programs that provide assistance to a wide variety of grantees. The aim of most such programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research regularly undertakes research relevant to community planning and development issues. A few examples are: •CDBG Formula Targeting to Community Development Need (February 2005) http://www.huduser.org/publications/commdevl/cdbgAssess.html •Public-Sector Loans to Private-Sector Businesses: An Assessment of HUD-Supported Local Economic Development Lending Activities (July 2003) http://www.huduser.org/publications/econdev/pubsec_loans.html •The Impact of CDBG Spending on Urban Neighborhoods (October 2002) http://www.huduser.org/publications/commdevl/cdbg_spending.html •An Assessment of State Brownfields Initiatives (December 1999) http://www.huduser.org/publications/econdev/assess.html •Federal Funds, Local Choices: An Evaluation of the Community Development Block Grant Program (May 1995) http://www.huduser.org/publications/commdevl/cdbg.html Most frequently, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program has been studied because it is such a large and complicated program. CDBG can benefit from further research but so can some of the smaller community development programs. This IQC contract has a duration of 156 weeks (three years) from the date of award. This procurement is unrestricted. This is a competitive negotiated acquisition in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15. All offerors are eligible to submit proposals. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541990, Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, and the size standard is $6.5 million. If the contractor awarded this contract is a large business concern, a subcontracting plan is required to be submitted with their proposal. The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) has established a 45 % small business goal for prime contractors. The solicitation package will be available on or about 15 days from this notification and proposals will be due on or 45 days from this announcement. This notice will be posted on HUD’s Internet Home Page since HUD posts all required notices of its contracting opportunity at http//www.hud.gov/offices/cpo/Index.cfm. Potential offerors who download copies of solicitation from HUD’s Home Page Contracting Opportunities or FedBizOpps will not automatically receive any amendments to those solicitations. You are advised to check back frequently to see if HUD has issued any amendments to the solicitation you have obtained. Hard copies of this solicitation may be obtained by writing to: Preston Brown, Contract Specialist, HUD Chicago Contracting Operations Branch, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Room 2517, Chicago, Illinois 60604-3507 or you may contact Preston Brown at 312.886.2760, extension 2508.
