Elmwood Avenue Shelter Community Construction Contractor

The City of Burlington is seeking proposals for a highly motivated and qualified Construction Contractor to support the City in constructing a new Temporary Emergency Shelter Community (Shelter Community). The Shelter Community will include 30 individual shelter units to be used for a dedicated, safe, equitable, temporary shelter space for persons experiencing homelessness as well as a custom designed prefabricated bathhouse and Community Resource Center (CRC). The City has applied for a zoning permit to locate the facility on an existing City-owned, surface parking lot located here(open pdf document to access link). All shelters and community buildings will be served by municipal power. The two community buildings will also be served by municipal water and sewer. The City has applied for a State Water/Wastewater permit. This is considered an emergency pre-housing and temporary solution. The project is responding to housing and homelessness impacts of the public health emergency. For more information about the project please see the Shelter Community FAQs here(open pdf document to access link). Proposals must be submitted no later than 12 noon on July 18, 2022 in electronic form to: CEDO Assistant Director for Community Works, Samantha Dunn at SDunn@burlingtonvt.gov
