Rental Inspection Services

The City of Oelwein, Iowa is soliciting interested and qualified firms to submit a proposal to provide rental inspections for the City’s rental inspection program. The City’s rental inspection program started in 2019 to address serious housing issues and ensure tenants are provided safe habitable housing. The program saw much success until the pandemic started and was hit with delays. The City uses two inspectors and an administrative assistant to conduct rental inspections and an online database hosted by software Citizenserve. City Council has directed the City Administrator to work with a firm to understand the possibility of contracting out rental inspections.

Firms may drop-off proposals at Oelwein City Hall located at 20 2^nd Ave SW Oelwein, Iowa 50662, or by mailing them to the same address. In any case, submissions must be received no later than 11:00 a.m. on June 1, 2022, to be considered. Firms must submit seven (7) hard copies and one (1) digital version. All communication on the proposal should be made to:
