The Naugatuck Valley Health District received a $2.48 million, three-year grant in renewed funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to protect children from lead-poisoning by making homes lead-safe.
As a result, NVHD’s lead-hazards repair program, the Naugatuck Valley Emends Lead Hazards (NauVEL) project, is currently seeking Licensed – RRP Certified Contractors preferably based in the Valley to pre-qualify to bid on upcoming repair projects estimated below $5,000 per housing unit. Contractors who participate in these projects must work lead-safe and meet all state and federal standards for lead-safe dust containment, worker and resident safety, and obtain dust-wipe clearance testing by a certified lab.
Detailed information about the NVHD and the NauVEL program are available online at: http://www.nvhd.org/nauvel/ .
By visiting the website, interested contractors are able to review and print specifications including the Contractor Application 2012, the Contractors Manual 2012, and the Receipt for Contractors Manual 2012 posted in the Downloads section. Applications from Contractors are accepted on an ongoing basis, but must be completed and received before a bid can be accepted from a construction company.
To receive an application to pre-qualify for bidding, call the NauVEL office, 203-828-9925.
Open bidding opportunities are posted online when available. Examples of past lead-safe renovation projects are also available online in the Gallery of Completed Projects.
