RFQ GHA 7.14.25_Jan_28_26_solicitation_doc.pdf

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) solicitation document issued by the Housing Authority of the Town of Groton, Connecticut, seeking qualified co-developers and development teams for the redevelopment and rehabilitation of multiple housing authority sites. The RFQ invites proposals from qualified individuals, firms, or development teams capable of undertaking comprehensive redevelopment and rehabilitation projects. Proposals must be submitted by January 28, 2026, with evaluation and selection of qualified proposers to follow. The solicitation establishes a competitive process whereby the Groton Housing Authority will evaluate all submissions received and select one or more development partners based on qualifications, experience, financial capacity, development expertise, and proposed approach to project delivery.

The RFQ establishes a development partnership framework rather than a traditional procurement with fixed pricing. Qualified proposers will be selected based on competitive evaluation criteria, which typically include development experience, track record, financial strength, team qualifications, and proposed development strategy. The partnership structure allows for negotiation of terms, financial arrangements, and project-specific conditions following selection of qualified proposers. This solicitation represents an opportunity for experienced developers to participate in public housing redevelopment projects in Connecticut, with the potential for long-term partnership and multiple project engagements with the Groton Housing Authority.
