HousingStudy RFP Legal Notice 9.3.2026.docx

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) legal notice issued by the City of Geneva, New York, for a City-Owned Property Redevelopment & Housing Readiness Study. The City seeks qualified planning, housing, engineering, economic development, and redevelopment consultants to conduct an implementation-focused initiative that identifies, evaluates, and prepares publicly-owned parcels for near-term housing and mixed-use redevelopment opportunities. The project scope extends beyond a traditional land inventory study and requires deliverables including actionable redevelopment strategies, conceptual site planning, feasibility analysis, and developer-ready materials to position Geneva to advance housing production. The City anticipates that this effort will be conducted concurrently and in coordination with a separately procured Comprehensive Plan update, and proposers are encouraged to consider submitting proposals for both projects given the significant overlap in scope. The proposal submission deadline is October 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with proposals to be submitted via the City's website at https://cityofgenevany.gov/Bids.aspx.

The City has received funding through the New York State Pro-Housing Communities Technical Assistance to Grow (TAG) Program to support this initiative and will comply with all applicable requirements under the TAG Program and New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) guidelines. The RFP includes contracting goals for Minority/Women Business Enterprises (MWBE) at 30 percent and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) enterprises at 6 percent. M/WBE and Section 3 firms are strongly encouraged to respond. No business enterprises have been awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years, indicating this is a new initiative for the City.
