Conceptual_Land_Use_Plan.pdf

This is a Conceptual Land Use Plan document prepared by the City of Tucson for the Amphi Housing Resource Center (HRC) Design Build project, involving the adaptive reuse of the former Fire Station #8 located at 250 West King Road in Ward 2. The project encompasses 1.05 acres (Parcel 106-02-225A) and proposes the transformation of the existing vacant residential-zoned property into a Village Housing District through a Planned Area Development (PAD) rezoning. The facility will provide 50 to 100 adult bed spaces within a low-barrier shelter environment, including congregate and non-congregate shelter areas with supporting amenities such as restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, storage, pet-friendly zones, and meal preparation spaces. The design specifies a maximum building height of 30 feet with setbacks ranging from 10 to 20 feet depending on adjacent zoning classifications, a 5-foot masonry and wrought iron screening requirement, and 10-foot landscape borders on designated property lines. A pre-submittal meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. at the project site, with statements of qualifications due on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Arizona local time. The project requires comprehensive design-build services including structural rehabilitation, roofing, electrical and plumbing upgrades, site development, MEP systems design, environmental mitigation for PFAS-impacted soils, and hazardous materials removal.

The estimated project cost is $2,800,000, funded through an Economic Development Initiative grant and HUD-related funding sources, with the project subject to federal compliance requirements including Buy America/Build America provisions and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards. Contractors must comply with Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program provisions, achieving good faith efforts to include SBEs and complying with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act, which mandates that at least 25 percent of labor hours be performed by Section 3 workers and 5 percent by Targeted Section 3 workers. The City of Tucson Procurement Division will evaluate proposals using a one-step selection process across five criteria: Team Qualifications and Experience (40 points), Technical Approach and Methodology (35 points), Schedule Management (15 points), References and Past Performance (5 points), and Subcontractor Selection Plan (5 points). Successful contractors must obtain a City of Tucson Business License, provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the negotiated construction value, maintain specified insurance coverage, and achieve Substantial Completion within an agreed-upon timeframe, with liquidated damages assessed for delays beyond the contract completion date.
