The City of McPherson has received a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of which $300,000 has been earmarked for Housing Rehabilitation roughly between Avenue A and Avenue F and between Main Street and both sides of Locust Street (see Target Area Map). The City of McPherson is in the process of identifying and qualifying all potential contractors that are interested in bidding and working on this project. This is the fourth Community Development Block Grant for Housing Rehabilitation that the City of McPherson has received and worked on since 2016. There will be approximately 12 residential units being rehabilitated. Construction will need to be completed on all units prior to mid-January of 2024.
All contracting firms submitting bids must carry liability insurance and must have a current KDHE renovator’s license (RRP certification). Everyone working on the project sites must have a Lead Safe Work Practices certification. Information on these certifications can be obtained by going to: www.kshealthyhomes.org. Additionally, if renovation work involves roofing, all general contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the Attorney General's office. Contractor Eligibility and Requirements can be found on the 2022 CDBG Contractor Guidelines. For more information about contractor bidding and approval, visit 2022 CDBG Contractor Guidelines.
The City of McPherson will be holding a Contractor Information Meeting both in person and on-line via ZOOM June 1, 2022 at 4:00 pm (see attached zoom instructions). The physical meeting will be located in the City Commission Meeting Room located at the Municipal Building at 400 E. Kansas Avenue. Firms that respond and meet qualifications will be put on a list to receive notice when a group of homes is released for bidding. It is recommended that if you do not currently meet these requirements that you obtain the necessary training prior to bidding.
