Overview

Summary

The City of Aurora is seeking qualified contractors to participate in its CDBG-CV funded Healthy Houses Program, also known as the Aurora Rental HVAC Replacement Program. This initiative is funded through the Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) Program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

• Phase I: Inspection & Condition Assessment The selected Proposer will conduct professional on-site inspections of residential HVAC systems to determine if units are beyond their usable life due to age, mechanical failure, or safety risks. Proposers must evaluate system performance, ventilation safety and overall conditions.

  For each property inspected, the contractor must prepare and submit a formal Condition Assessment Report documenting system condition and providing a professional determination as to whether the system remains serviceable or requires replacement. These reports will be used by the City to determine eligibility for federally funded assistance under the Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) Program.

• Phase II: System Modernization & Replacement For HVAC systems identified in Phase I as requiring replacement, the selected Proposer will perform full-service removal, disposal, and installation of new, high-efficiency HVAC systems. All work must comply with City of Aurora building codes and U.S. HUD CDBG-CV regulations, focusing on enhancing ventilation and air filtration to meet public health objectives.

Proposers must clearly indicate in their submission which phase or phases they are proposing to perform. The City reserves the right to award these phases to a single contractor or to separate contractors based on the expertise, capacity, and qualifications demonstrated in the response. Proposers must clearly indicate in their submission which phase(s) they are bidding on.

Background

The Healthy Houses Grant Program preserves landlord-owned rental properties (up to six units) for low- and moderate-income (LMI) tenants by funding the complete replacement of aging HVAC systems—including the furnace, AC condenser, evaporator coil, and all necessary electrical, plumbing, and venting components. Standalone repairs are ineligible for this program, which aims to modernize 100–150 units with energy-efficient systems to improve indoor air quality, reduce tenant utility costs, and enhance pandemic preparedness. To qualify, at least 51% of a property's units must be occupied by LMI households (earning no more than $95,900/year for a family of four), ensuring the City’s investment directly supports housing stability and health for its most vulnerable residents.

This program’s overall goal is to provide ventilation for the City’s low and moderate income residents which will assist in further preparing its residents if another coronavirus or similar pandemic were to occur, the outcome of which would be improved air quality and reduction of the disease transmission.
