RFQ for Uniontown Blight Inventory and Plan

Project Description: Uniontown's city requests proposals from consultants to establish a Blight Remediation Plan. The City of Uniontown has been awarded the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development's Community Finance Agency (CFA) program funds to prepare a Blight Remediation Plan. As the City of Uniontown continues to improve and seeks to address blight, City officials will need access to helpful information regarding blighted properties. In order to develop a comprehensive strategy to address blight, its nature and extent will be understood through a citywide inventory of blighted properties.
A comprehensive inventory of blight will be created using the powerful iWorq management software. This software, with its blight inventory/condition assessment connected to an online mapping and management tool, will empower municipal officials to access the blight inventory at any time. With the iWorq software, users will have the ability to access information online with the potential option to query to review a properties condition history and filter map data as questions arise, or as needs and circumstances change.
Due to the grant spending deadline, the project timeline is aggressive. Proposals are due November 15, 2024, and the project is expected to begin within two to three weeks of consultant selection and end within six (6) months. To provide more explanation of the project, and answer questions, a mandatory Pre-Proposal Meeting will be held virtually on Monday, November 4 at 10 AM
Register for the Pre-Proposal Meeting, by Friday, November 1, 2024, at 4:00 PM at director@uniontownredevelopment.com or call 724-438-7968 If a consultant does not attend the meeting, they will not be invited to submit a proposal.
