Active SLED Opportunity · MICHIGAN · CITY OF ANN ARBOR
AI Summary
Ann Arbor seeks technical assistance services to support landlords and property managers in complying with its Green Rental Housing Ordinance, focusing on health, comfort, and energy efficiency for renters. The RFP requires about 16-20 hours weekly of support over 50 weeks.
In 2025, Ann Arbor City Council adopted a Green Rental Housing Ordinance with the aim of ensuring renters get a minimum baseline of health, comfort, and energy efficiency. At its core, the Ordinance is a consumer protection ordinance, helping ensure renters have information about potential future rentals and are, therefore, able to make informed choices about where to live. With over 55% of Ann Arbor’s residents being renters, the Ordinance is an important part of keeping rental units safe, healthy, and sustainable. The Ordinance officially went into effect in January of 2026 and since that time, staff in the Ann Arbor Office of Sustainability and Innovations (OSI) have identified a series of challenges ranging from education and outreach to heavy administrative workloads, to technical support barriers and compliance hurdles. The purpose of this request for proposals is to identify firms capable of aiding the City in lessening these challenges, specifically as it relates to technical assistance. In total, OSI is seeking support in one workstream: around 16-20 hours a week across 50 weeks a year in technical assistance support for landlords and property managers working to come into compliance with the Ordinance. More details about the specific needs can be found in the Scope of Services section, below. **Solicitation Type**: RFP - Request for Proposal (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.1188.C19441876 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 05/14/2026 10:00 AM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: No **Bid Submission Type**: Physical Bid Submission **Solicitation Number**: 26-33 **Reference Number**: 0000423264 **Pre-Bidding Events**: Event Type: Prebid Conference | Attendance: Recommended | Event date: 05/12/2026 01:00 PM EDT | Location: See Event Note | Event Note: WHEN: May 12, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. WHERE: This meeting will be held virtually through Microsoft Teams.
