Site work and new construction of a multi-residential development in Port Townsend, Washington. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a multi-residential development; and for site work for a multi-residential development.

Development of the Evans Vista Neighborhood, a City-owned 14-acre site in Port Townsend. The project intends to deliver 321 units in a new mixed-income, mixed-housing neighborhood. This is a two-round solicitation process starting with an RFEI for development teams to express interest and provide qualifications and conceptual development approaches. The City is conducting a two-round solicitation process. The ?rst round consists of this Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI), which is intended as a high-level, nonbinding, market-sounding process. In the RFEI stage, respondents are asked to submit quali?cations, relevant experience, and a conceptual development approach. Detailed designs, fully engineered plans, and ?nalized ?nancing commitments are not required in this ?rst round. Following evaluation of RFEI responses, the City anticipates shortlisting one or more development teams to proceed to the second round, which will consist of formal proposals. The second round will invite more detailed and re?ned proposals from the shortlisted teams, including site planning concepts, phasing strategies, funding strategies, affordability commitments, and ?nancial feasibility for construction and long-term operational sustainability. Selection through the RFEI ?rst round does not constitute project award, nor does it obligate the City to convey property or enter into a development agreement. If this two-round solicitation process is successful, ?nal ?rm selection in round two may result in a contractual agreement to deliver the project as proposed. The City seeks development ?rms with demonstrated experience in affordable and mixed-income housing, capacity to deliver phased projects, and the ability to work collaboratively with the City to meet applicable public funding requirements, long-term affordability obligations, and community goals. At a minimum, the project will require that at least 25% of the total residential units be restricted to households earning 80% of area median income (AMI) or below for a minimum of 25 years, consistent with state grant requirements. The City has developed a Master Site Plan for the Evans Vista Neighborhood that communicates the City’s vision for the project. Firms may submit expressions of interests that vary from the City’s Master Plan. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time
