Midtown_Procurement_Outreach.pdf

This is a Procurement Industry Outreach notice issued by the City of Santa Fe Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency to solicit input from general contractors and subcontractors with experience in horizontal infrastructure development. The City is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) in advance of a future competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for Phase One horizontal infrastructure improvements at the Midtown Redevelopment Site, formerly the Santa Fe University of Art and Design and the College of Santa Fe. The site is planned as a high-density, mixed-use development supporting commercial and residential uses consistent with the adopted Midtown Master Plan. An Industry Outreach Event is scheduled for September 17, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at 1600 St. Michael's Drive, Midtown Southwest Annex, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Attendance is not mandatory but is strongly encouraged. A procurement library containing approximately 90 percent of design drawings is provided for informational purposes, though these drawings remain under review by the infrastructure design team, City staff, and utility partners and may be revised before the formal solicitation is issued.

The RFI is issued solely for acquiring industry feedback and market research to help refine project scope, procurement strategy, contract requirements, construction phasing, and risk allocation prior to the future RFP. No cost information shall be included in responses, and responses will not be evaluated as proposals or offers. Presentation materials, questions received, and responses provided during the September 17th Industry Outreach Event will be documented and incorporated into the procurement library for reference during the future solicitation process. All City of Santa Fe procurements may be found on OpenGov. The RFI does not establish pricing terms, set-asides, or award timelines, as this is a pre-solicitation market research phase.
