“The owner has determined a prequalified list of general contractors. A Request for Proposals for General Contractor is expected to be released in June 6, 2023.” A-DLC and HACA are soliciting proposals for planning services focused on HUD Section 18 Repositioning, and site redevelopment for affordable, work force housing options, in compliance with all applicable requirements under the state of Montana's CDBG program. Further implementation of Repositioning and Re-development of the project site will be sought by HACA after the HSRP is completed. The ideal firm will be able and available to assist with separate implementation work with HACA, in addition to the HSRP. CDBG regulations governing the grant require that to the greatest extent feasible, opportunities for training and employment arising in connection with this CDBG assisted project will be extended to local lower-income residents. Further, to the greatest extent feasible, business concerns located in or substantially owned by residents of the project area will be utilized. Additionally, Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) will be notified of this procurement opportunity. The intent of the HSRP is to map out redevelopment of a portion of about 30 units of the 50- unit low-income housing site of Cedar Park Homes for Section 18 Repositioning under Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and its redevelopment for mixed-income affordable, work force housing. This project requires extensive experience with HUD Repositioning and housing development. The budget for this planning project is $45,000. Further work and implementation of the plan will be sought by HACA. The selected offeror should be prepared to begin work immediately, as it is desired to complete the HSRP by May 2024. Payment terms will be negotiated with the selection of a successful offeror. Scope of Work The purpose of the proposed planning project is to help A-DLC and HACA identify the best course of redevelopment action for a portion of HACA's Cedar Park Homes site. Currently, Cedar Park Homes is a low-income housing site under HUD's Public Housing program. Redevelopment will likely require transferring a portion of the site from HUD's Public Housing platform to a non-profit platform through the very detailed process of HUD Repositioning. The HRSP should also provide a vision for redeveloped housing project, and a plan to achieve it. This will be accomplished through the professional preparation of a Housing Site Redevelopment Plan (hereafter referred to as Redevelopment Plan). Completion of the Redevelopment Plan will include: - Review of project site's current condition, community demographics, and housing needs - Gain understanding of HACA ability and limitations, and its interplay with HUD and Repositioning - Engagement with stakeholders: A-DLC, HACA, tenants, etc. - Public engagement - Recommended redevelopment strategy detailing: o HUD Repositioning plan tailored to HACA's unique situation and PHA-only status o Redevelopment concept plan and guide o Implementation steps HACA has had high vacancy rates for many years due to a large amount of Public Housing units versus the community's current population size. The population has decreased by about half since the closure of its main industry in 1980. A majority of units at HACA's Cedar Park site do not meet current community demand and preference based on size, features, and accessibility. Redevelopment of a portion of the site to help accommodate the Anaconda community's growing workforce housing need is desired. A mixed-income development is sought. The overall project will involve the major rehabilitation or demolition and rebuild of what is now 30 multifamily units on a 50-unit, 7-acre site; one or more acres of which are undeveloped. The remaining 20 units not included in the project are 1.) comprised of a majority of ground level units which provide much needed accessibility units for HACA's existing tenants, and are 2.) located in a sensitive floodplain area, where new development is likely not permitted. The Redevelopment Plan, then, may also need to consider subdivision or other ways to accommodate the repositioning of a partial asset. The outcome of the Redevelopment Plan will be the professional preparation of a guiding document that details steps to reposition the existing asset under unique circumstances, and provides a vision and roadmap to achieve a community-desired affordable workforce housing development. The successful offeror will demonstrate intimate knowledge of HUD Section 18 repositioning, the housing industry, and housing construction and development.
