"HUD-compliant Best Value Services Procurement: Focus on a Construction IFB"
DESCRIPTION: Except for a few exceptions, HUD typically requires housing agencies to utilize the Invitation for Bids (IFB) competitive solicitation process when retaining contractors for construction projects. IFB's are a low cost award in that the housing agency is required to complete an award to the responsive and responsible bidder that submits the lowest cost. This session will focus on how to issue a HUD-compliant IFB that encourages bidders to respond by cutting down the paperwork that all bidders must submit.

This session includes access to sample forms that will help agencies document these important requirements.
