The selection of a qualified firm shall be made to the consultant(s) whose proposal is deemed to be the most advantageous to the City, with due consideration for, among other things, the financial terms offered, the quality of the services offered, the experience of the consultant and the qualifications presented. 4. All other requirements associated with this matter are set forth in a "Request for Qualifications" package and said requirements must be adhered to in order for any proposal to be considered.

1. The portion of the site intended for the parking garage is approximately 0.8 acres and has vehicle
access to Springwood Avenue, as well as, an internal access drive. The City seeks to redevelop the
existing surface parking lot with a municipal parking garage.
The City is seeking qualified consultants or individual(s) to design and construct the parking
garage as part of a public private partnership, in which the City will enter into an agreement with a
selected developerthat would assume the financial and administrative responsibility for the development,
construction, operation and maintenance ofthe parking garage for a pre-determined amount oftime. The
parking garage will be financed in whole, or in part, by the developer but ownership will be maintained
by the City. The details and terms ofthe public private partnership will be negotiated with the selected
developer.
The site is located adjacent to a NJ Transit train platform and associated surface parking lot, as
well as, City Hall. The site is located between the Central Business District and the Springwood Avenue
corridor/southwest quadrant of Asbury Park, and is intended to unify proposed transit-oriented
development west ofthe railroad tracks and the Central Business District into a single, larger downtown
core. In addition, the proposed parking garage is intended to be architecturally stimulating in its own
accord, incorporating art, music, historic elements, local and regional materials, and an appropriate
representation of the Asbury Park community. Additional residential, mixed-use and institutional
development is planned or under construction in the proximate area along Memorial Avenue.
The City previously engaged a Study ofthe site to evaluate the location and design ofthe parking
garage. This Study, completed in 2020, is attached to this RFQ as Exhibit 1. Since the publication ofthat
Study, the City has determined, that Area "C", identified therein shall be utilized for the parking gara
