Parker House Architect RFP Notice.pdf

This is a Notice for Designer/Architect Services issued by the Newton Housing Authority (NHA) in Massachusetts seeking proposals for architectural services related to the redevelopment of Parker House, a 33-unit public housing development located in Newton Centre. The NHA intends to redevelop the site to better accommodate current residents' needs while increasing the number of affordable housing units on the property. The scope of work includes designing community spaces (both indoor and outdoor), parking facilities, programming areas, and support services. The NHA will utilize a RAD/Section 18 blend financing structure to demolish the existing public housing units and replace them with project-based voucher housing. A site visit is scheduled for September 3, 2026 at 11:00 am, with attendance encouraged for all interested respondents. Proposals must be submitted via email to Hannah Cross at hcross@newtonhousing.org by September 24, 2026 at 5:00 pm. All questions from prospective respondents must be submitted in writing to the same contact and received no later than September 9, 2026 at 5:00 pm.

The notice does not provide specific pricing terms, budget allocations, or funding source information. No incumbent contractor is identified, and no set-aside provisions are mentioned in the available documentation. The Request for Proposals document itself is available upon request from the NHA contact, which may contain additional details regarding compensation, contract terms, evaluation criteria, and other requirements not specified in this notice.
