4-BHA PBV RFP Attachment List - NOT LIHTC awarded ONLY 6.12.26.docx

This is an attachment list for a Request for Proposals issued by the Bethlehem Housing Authority for the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program, specifically for non-LIHTC (Low-Income Housing Tax Credit) awarded applicants. The RFP solicits competitive proposals from qualified developers to construct new housing units assisted through the PBV Program, with the Authority intending to award up to 25 PBVs per project subject to funding availability and HUD regulatory compliance. All proposals must be submitted electronically via PennBid no later than 5:00 PM EST on July 3, 2026, with questions due by June 27, 2026. The attachment list outlines four primary evaluation categories: Development Team (30 points), Project Feasibility (30 points), Design & Location (20 points), and Services & Program Goals (20 points). Required submissions include development team qualifications and experience, property management experience, organizational charts, enforceable site control documentation, updated development timelines demonstrating occupancy by January 2028, detailed development budgets with sources and uses statements, 20-year operating pro formas, unit mix and rent schedules with projected PBV rents, utility allowance calculations, funding letters, schematic plans, accessible unit descriptions, and community and economic impact statements, among other supporting documentation.

The submission requirements are designed to comprehensively evaluate applicant qualifications and project viability across multiple dimensions. Applicants must demonstrate financial capacity through funding commitments or letters of interest and provide complete syndication and financing information. Bridge loan financing documentation is required if applicable, as is any displacement or relocation planning and historic preservation coordination. Design submissions must include schematic plans, specifications for accessible units, and descriptions of any commercial space with tenant letters of intent or leases if applicable. Innovative design features and green building components should be highlighted where present. The RFP encourages participation from disadvantaged business enterprises and emphasizes supportive services integration, with applicants required to describe community benefits, supportive service plans if applicable, and any supportive housing set-asides for households requiring specialized services. Award decisions will be based on the cumulative scoring across all four evaluation categories, with successful applicants expected to develop projects that meet both HUD regulatory requirements and the Authority's strategic housing objectives.
