Cost_Formula-reward_average_cost_for_RFP.docx

This is a Request for Proposals document from the City of New Haven's Office of Economic Development seeking proposals for the adaptive reuse and activation of a former CT Transit information booth located on the Chapel Street side of the New Haven Green in Connecticut. The Site, positioned between Church Street and Temple Street, is a highly visible, transit-oriented location that the City aims to transform into an active and welcoming community asset. Proposals may include small-format retail or convenience uses, arts and cultural programming, tourism-oriented services, or community service providers. The City prioritizes Respondents demonstrating operational feasibility, a clear business or programming model, and the ability to maintain an attractive and well-managed presence at the Site. Particular emphasis is placed on uses that enhance pedestrian experience, support transit riders, and contribute to the vibrancy and safety of the New Haven Green.

The document does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder's meetings, or award dates. Rental terms are negotiable, and the City is open to flexible arrangements that support successful activation while ensuring long-term sustainability. No specific pricing structure, set-asides, incumbents, funding sources, or contract term information is provided in the available materials. The evaluation methodology referenced in the cost formula document indicates that proposals will be scored using cost-based evaluation methods; however, specific scoring weights, evaluation criteria beyond feasibility and operational viability, and detailed pricing terms are not detailed in the materials provided.
