Services Pursuant to Redevelopment of City Hall Site
A consultant will be hired to:
identify potential alternative locations for City Hall, assess the viability of these sites and provide
cost estimates for development, redevelopment or rehabilitation. A potential alternative for
consideration will be a new City Hall at the present location, which will incorporate the mixed use
development, new park and underground parking.
assess options and provide guidance to the City on retaining or transferring ownership of some or
all of the Project Area and the potential public/private partnerships that could be established for
redevelopment of the Project Area.
prepare site information needed to develop a Request for Qualifications for redevelopment of the
private elements of the Project Area. Information will include the preparation of a strategy for the
redevelopment of the site in the context of the surrounding downtown and waterfront areas, design
guidelines, a conceptual site plan for the new park and mixed-use structures, and guidance
describing how these facilities will link with Riverfront Park.
develop a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the selection of a preferred developer for the
mixed-use structure, manage the issuance of the RFQ, and assist the City in the selection of a
private developer.
assist the City in coordination and oversight of the preferred developer in the design and
construction of the expansion of Riverfront Park and parking garage as part of the mixed use
redevelopment of the Project Area. Please be advised that a separate RFP will be issued for the
redesign of the entirety of Riverfront Park. Conceivably, a single consultant could be selected in
response to this RFP and the forthcoming Riverfront Park redesign RFP. At a minimum, the
consultant selected in response to this RFP will work closely with the Riverfront Park redesign
consultant.
