The Somerset-Pulaski Economic Development Authority (SPEDA) is issuing this Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") to solicit Statements of Qualifications ("SOQ") from innovative and capable teams who are qualified to enter into a publicprivate partnership ("P3") with SPEDA to design, build, finance, operate, and/or maintain an agricultural exposition and entertainment center or alternative entertainment and recreation facilities that meet SPEDA's objectives (the "Project"). This RFQ process will be used to prequalify and shortlist companies or teams ("Private Partners" or "Respondents") who will be the only eligible entities to respond to a subsequent Request for Proposal ("RFP") to deliver the Project. SPEDA seeks to promote Somerset-Pulaski County's rich agricultural heritage and strong presence in the state's agriculture industry through the construction and operation of a facility equipped to host agricultural exposition events, among other events that generate revenue and provide entertainment or recreational opportunities for residents. A major postsecondary educational institution has also expressed interest in establishing a relationship with the Project, to include potentially leasing the facility to host school events. SPEDA desires to provide maximum flexibility to its Private Partners to develop a facility that meets SPEDA's goals in the most economically feasible manner.
