SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION

2.1 BACKGROUND AND SPECIAL CONCERNS:

The City of McKinney is located approximately 30 miles north of Dallas, Texas. The MHFC is a quasi-public instrumentality of the City of McKinney formed in 1980 under Chapter 394 of the Texas Local Government Code to implement strategic solutions to increase affordable housing in McKinney. The MHFC facilitates the development and preservation of affordable housing for low-to-moderate income residents. The MHFC finances the cost of residential ownership and development on behalf of the City to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing for City residents at affordable prices.

MHFC was designated by the City Council to operate as a Community Land Trust (“CLT”). In addition, the City Council executed a Special Warranty Deed to convey a City-owned property to the MHFC for its first CLT development project; which may include approximately 20 affordable townhomes with two small pocket parks. There is currently $1,000,000 appropriated from the City’s General Fund to the CLT to support the CLT’s various efforts.

A CLT is a housing ownership structure whereby a designated non-profit maintains ownership of the land, sells the home to an income-eligible household, and leases the underlying land to the homeowner. This ownership model significantly reduces the property taxes paid by the homeowner and provides for long-term affordability of the homes located in the CLT. The CLT will set the terms for the ground lease(s) (usually 99 years) and options for resale to maintain affordability.

2.2 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS:

The MHFC invites developers experienced with Community Land Trusts to submit qualifications for the development of 20 affordable attached single-family townhomes with two small pocket parks (the “Project”) on the designated MHFC property within the boundaries more particularly described on Exhibit D, attached hereto ( the “Project Site”).

The MHFC is seeking an experienced professional development team (the "Developer") that includes a developer/project manager, architect, engineer, and contractor/builder to partner with the MHFC for the purpose of developing the Project on the Project Site. The townhomes will be sold by the MHFC as long-term affordable owner-occupied housing held within the CLT. The affordability mix for the Project should include units ranging from 60 to 120% of the Area Median Income to expand pathways to homeownership for families in McKinney.

Before the commencement of any pre-development activities, the MHFC and the Developer will enter into a mutually agreeable Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU" or “Agreement”) setting forth the terms and conditions for the Project, which will be subject to the approval of the MHFC Board. The executed MOU will contain provisions outlining the selected Developer and MHFC’s obligations for the proposed Project and each other, and include milestones related to the design, phasing, and funding of the Project. The selected Developer should anticipate coordinating with MHFC as the Owner to design the Project so the development can be constructed in phases and efficiently sold by MHFC to income-eligible homebuyers.

City of McKinney, Texas – RFQ No. 26-43RFQ Page 11 of 22

The selected Developer shall be solely responsible for securing the financing necessary to fully fund and develop the Project.

Additional points will be awarded to developers with a proven ability to finance affordable housing. Evaluation will prioritize experience with permanent affordability mechanisms including, but not limited to, Community Land Trusts or deed-restricted homeownership.

2.3 PROJECT SITE INFORMATION:

The Project Site, located on the southwest corner of North Lake Forest Drive and Summit View Drive, contains approximately 3.6 acres of vacant land located just outside the Summit View Lake neighborhood in northwest McKinney. The Project Site is owned by the MHFC. The property currently has a Planned Development District (“PD”) zoning designation that was approved in 2025, which allows for townhomes.

The existing zoning regulations permit the development of no more than twenty (20) dwelling units on this property.

2.4 DEVELOPERS ROLE:

The following is a representative list of the Developer’s expected responsibilities. The following list is not inclusive of all duties. Such duties will ultimately be set forth in the MOU between the MHFC and selected Developer.

B. Provide regular reports to the MHFC on the progress of the development efforts including work completed, associated costs, schedule and budgetary requirements;

C. Prepare any financing applications as necessary to ensure overall Project feasibility;

D. Develop a construction strategy and implementation schedule;

“HUD Act”) and Women Business Enterprise (“WBE”) and Minority Business Enterprise (“MBE”) compliance.

2.6 SELECTION PROCESS:

An Evaluation Committee comprised of MHFC board members and designated City Staff will review the timely submitted responses. Eligible Respondents will receive a letter acknowledging receipt of their submission.

All qualifications will be considered as they are construed by the Evaluation Committee reserving the right to reject any or all materials and the right to request oral presentations of all or some of the Respondents. The MHFC requests that information be succinct. After reviewing the qualifications, additional information may be requested by the Evaluation Committee.

The Evaluation Committee shall be the sole judge as to evaluation and ranking of responses. Based on the evaluation and ranking, interviews may be conducted with selected Respondents. No Respondent's conference is anticipated for this RFQ. All submissions MUST meet the minimum threshold of seventy (70) points to be considered. The MHFC urges all interested Developers to carefully review the requirements of this RFQ.

The MHFC intends to negotiate an MOU with the selected Developer that submits a response offering the best value for the MHFC on the basis of the published evaluation factors and on its ranking evaluations. If the parties cannot negotiate a successful MOU, the MHFC will terminate negotiations with the first-ranked Respondent and commence negotiations with the second-ranked Respondent in the same manner. If an Agreement is not reached, the MHFC will proceed with this process, in order of ranking, until an Agreement is reached, or all submittals are rejected. The MHFC reserves the right to reject any and all submittals.
