SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP) issues the following Request for
Proposals (RFP) from qualified firms or individuals to provide professional real estate
appraisal services and/or market study services (together, the Services) on an
agency-wide, as-needed basis.
The HACP intends to establish a pool of qualified professionals to support its ongoing
and upcoming development projects and homeownership efforts on an agency-wide, as-
needed basis. Professionals deemed qualified through this process will be eligible to
receive future task orders issued by the HACP during the term of the contract.
The Services will be paid from the HACP's funds provided by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and, therefore, all work performed must be in
compliance with all rules and regulations of this program and all other applicable Federal
regulations including but not limited to, Handicap Accessibility (Section 504), Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA), Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), Davis-
Bacon wage requirements, Environmental Protection Agency rules and regulations,
HUD's Modernization Design Standards and Federal procurement requirements. In
addition to the Federal laws and regulations, all work must also be performed in
compliance with all Commonwealth of Pennsylvania laws and regulations, and local
building codes.
Selection into the vendor pool does not guarantee the award of any task order, and future
task orders may be issued to one or more qualified professionals through additional
competitive requests or direct selection, as permitted by applicable procurement
regulations.
The Authority is contemplating the award of a professional service contract, or
contracts, (Attachment A) to qualified professionals for an initial Term of three (3)
years, with two (2), one-year extension options for a maximum term of five (5)
years. Services will be authorized through individual task orders and may vary in
scope, size, location, and source of funding.
If submitting alterations to the HACP contract for review and acceptance by the HACP,
please submit an electronic version in MS Word format with your proposal. If submitting
your company contract for review and acceptance by the HACP, please submit an
electronic version in MS Word format with your proposal. If your contract is not included

information and the HACP discovers it thereafter, then the HACP may terminate the
contract.
