The City of Burlington is seeking proposals for a highly motivated and qualified Site
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(link can be found in pdf).
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(link can be found in pdf).
Proposals must be submitted no later than 12 noon on July 12, 2022 in electronic form to:
CEDO Assistant Director for Community Works, Samantha Dunn at
SDunn@burlingtonvt.gov.
