Request for Proposal (Re-release) Chesapeake Court/Schoolhouse Lane Development
The City of Cambridge Department of Development, Housing Division is soliciting proposals from qualified Developers, Builders, and Contractors for the construction of fourteen new single-family homes to include four on School House Lane (section 1) sold at market rate (120% AMI), and ten on Chesapeake Court (sections 2 and 3) sold at (80% AMI) in the Pine Street Historic District. Sections will require private developer/builder financing. However, the city will utilize program income from prior Homeownership Works (HOW) constructed Homes at Douglas Street to create builder incentives and offset preconstruction costs. The Developer can choose to bid on the project as two individual separate sections or as a whole. A successful respondent will demonstrate experience building and selling quality affordable single-family homes in revitalizing communities. A demonstrated capacity for working successfully with local and state stakeholders on comparable initiatives will be a material consideration in the selection process. Notice: Proposals that fail to meet the applicant qualifications section of the RFP will be deemed non-compliant and will not be considered for scoring. In addition, it is procurement violation to solicit the endorsement of any city staff, city official or sitting commissioner for favorable consideration of work that will be reviewed by said person. This presents an undue influence and is grounds for disqualification. The City Manager reserves the right at any time to amend or addend or cancel the RFP prior to the date of proposal submission and during the evaluation period with cause. Amendments will be posted to the City's procurement website. It is the responsibility of the prospective offeror to monitor the site for updates.
