ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP) The Invitation for Bids for alterations to Ashe Manor closed on April 21, 2026. The Invitation for Bids for alterations to Pinecroft closed on May 1, 2026. The Request for Proposal for Pre-Management & Occupancy Review closed on May 4, 2026. Pinecroft Elevator Services The Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority has identified a critical need to address ongoing elevator reliability concerns at Pinecroft senior housing property. Over the years, the passenger elevator has experienced frequent malfunctions and increasing maintenance concerns, impacting residents’ accessibility and overall quality of life. In response, NNRHA is actively engaging multiple qualified vendors to conduct site visits and provide detailed proposals, including cost estimates for both modernization of the existing passenger elevator and full replacement options. This evaluation will allow the Authority to determine the most effective and sustainable solution moving forward. Following resolution of the passenger elevator, NNRHA anticipates evaluating the future replacement of the freight elevator as part of its long-term capital improvement strategy. Marshall Courts Camera Project The Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority is implementing the installation of security cameras at Marshall Courts to enhance the safety and well-being of residents, staff, and visitors. This initiative will assist in security measures, limit unauthorized activity and improve the monitoring of common areas. The addition of cameras will provide greater visibility, support incident documentation, and serve as a deterrent to criminal behavior. This proactive measure aligns with NNRHA’s commitment to maintaining a secure living environment while also assisting law enforcement, when necessary, in addressing incidents efficiently and effectively. Pinecroft Mechanical Room Upgrades The NNRHA is undertaking upgrades to the mechanical room at the Pinecroft property to improve the reliability, organization, and overall performance of its technology infrastructure. This partially involves running cables from the roof down to the first floor. Over time, existing cabling has become disorganized and outdated, making troubleshooting and maintenance more time- consuming and increasing the risk of service disruptions. By rewiring network lines and implementing a standardized color-coding system, NNRHA will enhance system efficiency, reduce downtime, and allow for quicker identification of connections during maintenance or repairs. This project supports a more resilient and scalable IT environment, ensuring that critical systems serving residents and staff operate more effectively. 17
