The City of South Bend, Indiana is soliciting responses to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from qualified roof contractors for the South Bend Home Repair Program, with work covering up to approximately 50-70 houses at various addresses throughout the city. Contractors must meet minimum specifications (e.g., one-year warranty, compliance with St. Joseph County/City of South Bend building permits) and submit the Contractor Application along with proof of insurance and St. Joseph County Building Department registration by email to homerepair@southbendin.gov with the subject line 'Home Repair Program Pre-Qualified Contractors RFQ'. This is not a grant program; it is an open RFQ for a registry of pre-qualified roof contractors that the City solicits for pricing and work as eligible homes are approved, and the registry is re-issued at least once every six months.
