The National Center for Healthy Housing has developed model requests for proposals (RFP) for affordable housing property managers. There are two RFPs: one for public housing authorities and another for private sector property managers. See below for the materials.
The materials are a starting point. You will need to modify them to fit your circumstances. View the background on the Model Request for Proposals.
You should also check out two other toolkits for IPM contracting:
Asthma Regional Council of New England's website at www.asthmaregionalcouncil.org/about/IPM.html. ARC developed a toolkit for property manager to implement IPM in their affordable housing. Click here download the outstanding toolkit.
