LCRA Revitalization Corporation II (LCRARCII) is requesting bids from qualified contractors to oversee the demolition of existing buildings and construction of public improvement and site improvement work at Preservation Square Phase IV. The services to be provided through this RFB will be funded by The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund allocated to LCRARCII and passed through via a grant from the Missouri Department of Economic Development. All Supplementary Conditions in the attached Exhibit A shall be incorporated into any contract or sub-contact awarded pursuant to this RFB. To the extent any terms in this RFB conflict with the Supplementary Conditions in Exhibit A, the Supplementary Conditions shall control.

Preservation Square IV will result in the creation of approximately 91 new residential units located on the northeast side of the Preservation Square development (see map below and attached drawings). In 2016, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the City of Saint Louis (the City) a Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) Implementation Grant, which among various efforts within the Near North Side of St. Louis, supports the physical transformation of Preservation Square. The City selected McCormack Baron Salazar, Inc. (MBS) as the lead developer of the multi-family rental housing redevelopment. MBS is a Missouri Corporation specializing in the redevelopment of urban neighborhoods. Preservation Square I, which consists of 131 units, was completed in October 2022. Phase IIA (137 units) and Phase IIB (85 units) are under construction and expected to be complete in Fall 2024. In total, after five phases of construction, there will be 575 renovated and new construction units at Preservation Square. Phase IIB also includes a new on-site management office, community room and meeting rooms that will be available to all residents of the redeveloped Preservation Square. Preservation Square Phase IV includes the removal of existing residential buildings on site and the new construction of 12 townhome- and garden-style apartment buildings, totaling 91 units. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT Preservation Square Phase IV is the second to last proposed phase in the redevelopment of Preservation Square. The scope of work for Preservation Square Phase IV will consist of 12 new townhomes and garden-style apartments constructed on the existing site. Existing project amenities consist of a green space and recreational areas with tot lots for young children. In-unit amenities include energy-conserving fixtures and energy-efficient appliances, dishwashers, washers, and dryers. All the buildings will be slab-on-grade with CMU foundations on concrete spread footings. Exterior walls will be wood framed with pre-engineered wood floor and roof trusses. Exterior wall finishes will include brick veneer, fiber-cement siding and fiber-cement panels. Roofs are both pitched with architectural grade asphalt shingles and flat, with a TPO membrane. The entire development, regardless of income requirements, will be constructed to a market-rate quality using sustainable materials compliant with the National Green Building Standard's bronze certification and any additional requirements as a result of HUD Green Resilient Retrofit Funding. For this to commence, the existing structures and improvements will need to be demolished and rebuilt. III.
