RFQC 2026_0520_01.pdf

This is a Request for Qualifications and Capabilities (RFQC) document issued by the DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority (DRLBA), a public authority established through an intergovernmental agreement between DeKalb County Government and the City of Lithonia, Georgia. The RFQC seeks Statements of Qualifications from qualified builders, developers, and development teams to participate in the redevelopment and construction of residential and community-serving projects on properties acquired by DRLBA. The scope of work includes redevelopment of land bank properties into affordable single-family housing, workforce housing, rehabilitation of existing residential structures, mixed-use development, and neighborhood-scale commercial or community facilities. Both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, including Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), are encouraged to submit qualifications. The RFQC establishes a qualified pool of developers and builders from which DRLBA will select partners for specific projects as opportunities arise.

The document outlines evaluation criteria for developer and builder qualifications but does not specify a single contract award amount, as this RFQC creates a pre-qualified vendor pool rather than funding a single project. Submissions will be evaluated based on organizational experience, financial capacity, past performance, team qualifications, and commitment to affordable housing and community development goals. There are no set-asides specified in the document. Funding for individual projects undertaken through this qualified pool will derive from various sources including public funding, grants, and private investment, with specific amounts and sources to be determined on a project-by-project basis as DRLBA identifies and pursues redevelopment opportunities on its acquired properties.
