POWER DISTRICT VISION & POTENTIAL

POWER DISTRICT PROGRAMMING

POWER DISTRICT VISION & POTENTIAL

MARKET INTEREST Over the past several years we have received numerous inquires from local and national parties such as developers, companies, businesses, entrepreneurs, retailers, and organizations interested in the Power District

A PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP VIA A RFQ/RFP SOLICITATION WILL IDENTIFY DEVELOPMENT DRIVEN INVESTMENTS SUCH AS… planning, design, engineering building improvements/demo streetscapes & public spaces uti l i ty relocations/upgrades environmental remediation recruitment & economic incentives

THE APPROACH 1. The Solicitation process will include two consecutive stages. The first stage is the

advertisement of an RFQ to determine a shortlist of Respondent(s) that have the qualifications required and are able to demonstrate a general conceptual approach and understanding of the goals and objectives for the Power District.

2. The second stage occurs once a shortlist selection of qualified developers has been made via this RFQ. Based on the feedback received as a result of this RFQ process subsequent RFP(s) will be crafted and advertised that will trigger the initial phases of development and land transfers.

3. The purpose of this RFQ is to advertise the Power District to the development sector.

4. The RFQ will solicit statements of qualifications from developers and/or teams of developers for the acquisition and development of the Power District.

5. Only pre-qualified developers or developer teams selected during this process will be allowed to participate in subsequent RFP solicitations. (this does not apply to independent sub-

developers, contractors, or vendors that will be participating in the implementation process as part of a development team)

WE BELIEVE THIS APPROACH WILL…

1. DEFINE MARKET INTEREST, PHASING, & DEVELOPMENT DRIVEN INVESTMENTS 2. BALANCE “HIGHEST AND BEST USE” WITH.. 3. HONORING THE 2013 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN

THAT INCLUDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL, DIVERSE, AND INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS
