Attachment_A_-_Proposal_Submittal_Checklist.pdf

This document is Attachment A - Proposal Submittal Check List for the City of Tampa's Home Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Program Request for Proposals (RFP). The checklist provides a comprehensive guide for proposers to ensure they submit all required documentation for the affordable rental housing development opportunity. The checklist outlines 13 mandatory tabs/sections that proposers must complete, including sections for addenda, Florida Public Records Law, conflict of interest, references, operational plans, sub-contracting forms, compensation, and proposer affidavits. Critically, the document emphasizes that failure to submit all required forms may result in the bid being deemed "non-responsive".

The proposal specifically targets non-profit and for-profit developers capable of supplying, acquiring, rehabilitating, constructing, and managing affordable housing for qualifying populations, including those experiencing homelessness. The document highlights specific requirements such as criminal history screening practices and compliance with "ban the box" requirements. Sub-contracting forms (MBD 10 and MBD 20) are mandatory, and their absence will automatically disqualify a proposal. The checklist is designed to ensure comprehensive and thorough proposal submissions that meet the City of Tampa's stringent evaluation criteria for affordable housing development using HOME-ARP funds.
