Housing Rehabilitation Contractors Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) and METEC Resource Center (METEC) are requesting statements of qualifications (RFQs) from qualified Contractors to provide housing rehabilitation services to address and remediate health and safety issues that pose a likelihood of harm to the occupant's health Question Deadline 06/16/2023 at 3:30 PM CT Project Description METEC and the Village of Peoria Heights HUD Healthy Homes Program will work with low- to moderate-income persons in the Peoria area to bring homes deficient in housing safety to remediation. Home hazard remediation priority will be given to residents and homes in zip codes 61603, 61604, 61605 and 61616. Each home will be inspected by our program, receive mandatory radon testing, and provide guidance and assistance on maintaining a healthy home. The purpose of the program is to address and remediate health and safety issues that pose a likelihood of harm to the occupant's health if not addressed. This maintains the standards of the Eight Healthy Homes Principles: 1) Keep it Dry, 2) Keep it Clean, 3) Keep it Safe, 4) Keep it Well-Ventilated, 5) Keep it Pest-Free, 6) Keep it Contaminant-Free, 7) Keep your home Maintained, and 8) Thermally Controlled. The health and safety upgrades conducted by this program will be tied directly to one of the above eight principles. The program will focus on nine of the 29 Housing Hazards common to properties in the program's service area: radon; damp and mold growth; excess cold; carbon monoxide and fuel combustion products; entry by intruders; domestic hygiene, pests, and refuse; falling on level surfaces; falling on stairs, etc.; and lead. Within these hazards, the Healthy Homes program will test and remediate enrolled homes that exhibit any of these deficiencies. 1. Radon: Homes will receive air and water-soluble testing for radiation/radon. Those housing units exhibiting a radiation rate of more than 1.3 pCi/L will receive remediation to bring levels into normal range. 2. Damp and Mold Growth: Each room will be tested for spore levels. Any room showing more than 1,500 mold spores will receive remediation
