2. INTRODUCTION

The City of Tolleson is issuing this Request for Information (“RFI”) to gather industry feedback, development concepts, and expressions of interest related to potential residential infill development on City-owned parcels identified in this RFI.

This RFI is intended for information-gathering purposes only. Responses will assist the City in evaluating market interest, development feasibility, potential housing types, affordability opportunities, partnership structures, and other considerations that may inform a future procurement or development process.

Respondents may propose for one site, both sites, or all parcels together.

The City is interested in concepts that may:

• Introduce new residential infill housing that complements the surrounding neighborhood;

• Support attainable, workforce, senior, mixed-income, or other housing opportunities;

• Promote high-quality, durable, and energy-efficient construction; and

• Demonstrate financial, organizational, and technical feasibility.

The City may use information received through this RFI to determine whether to proceed with a future formal solicitation, which may include a Request for Proposals, Invitation for Bids, development agreement process, property disposition process, or other procurement method consistent with City policies and applicable law.

Submission of a response to this RFI does not guarantee selection, award, negotiation, property conveyance, or participation in any future solicitation. The City reserves the right to use, reject, modify, or discontinue any concept or process at its sole discretion.

All inquiries regarding this RFI must be submitted through the OpenGov Procurement Portal.
