This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Lewiston, Maine. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The City of Lewiston received a Lead Hazard Reduction Grant for $8,000,000 and a supplemental $750,000 Healthy Homes grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for a 48-month Lewiston Lead Program. This Program will serve the City by eliminating childhood lead poisoning and creating safer and healthier homes. Key components include community outreach, resident education for poisoning prevention, and Lead-safe Worker training. The City will leverage grants with various programs and property owner funds to increase the number of affordable, lead-safe housing units in Lewiston. The Program will focus grant resources primarily on Lewiston's highrisk areas, such as the Tree Street neighborhood, to concentrate resources that low-income families need. This neighborhood is in the HUD-approved Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA). It is also the focus of the Choice Transformation Plan. The Lewiston Program will also coordinate lead-based paint and healthy home hazard interventions outside the downtown area, where it identifies lead-paint hazards as risk factors for low-moderate income households. Risk Assessment Updates When Risk Assessments reach a 12-month expiration before the hazard control work starts, Risk Assessment updates will be requested and billable according to description (A.) For a pre-bid meeting or consultation on any of these bid requirements, contact Travis Mills, Lewiston Lead Program Manager, 207-513-3126 ext. 3251 or tmills@lewistonmaine.gov
