2.) Provides the highest competitive bid above the appraised value of the property being $2,520,000.00.
3.) Proposes a project that includes in part, commercial uses including but not limited to retail, office, hospitality, etc. However, projects that provide 100% workforce or affordable housing shall also be considered even if they do not meet all of the above factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How will proposals be evaluated, and would a fully market-rate project be considered?
A: All proposals will be reviewed by a staff evaluation team, which will make a recommendation to City Council. City Council will then determine whether to accept any of the submitted proposals. While mixed-use development is identified as a preference in the RFP, we acknowledge that this site presents challenges for mixed-use given it is not located along a retail or commercial corridor.
Proposals that are 100% market-rate will receive full and equal consideration alongside proposals that are 100% affordable or workforce housing. Ultimately, proposals will be evaluated based on their anticipated economic and social benefits to the community.
Q: Why did the June 2024 RFP ended up being cancelled after the two responses were received?
A: The CRA did not move forward with either response because both responses yielded a significant funding gap unless the project was reduced in scale and the structured parking component was removed. That RFP called for structured parking
and 175 (approx.) units.
