Bunker Hill Planned Development Area

The City of Hayward is seeking professional appraisal services for the Bunker Hill Planned Development Area through Request for Proposal (RFP) #25-059. The project involves conducting an independent land value appraisal for approximately 37.5 acres previously acquired by Caltrans in the 1960s and 1970s, with the intent of understanding potential payments owed to Caltrans and supporting a possible amendment to a Disposition and Development Agreement with Trumark Homes. Qualified professionals must be an MAI Designated appraiser with a current California "Certified General" real estate appraiser license, following Caltrans' Right of Way Manual standards. The City will select two appraisers to complete independent land value appraisals, with the average value (if within 15% of each other) serving as the basis for a modified purchase price. Proposal evaluation will be points-based across seven criteria: qualifications and staffing (20 points), project approach and work plan (20 points), schedule (10 points), cost proposal (15 points), compliance with RFP (15 points), exceptions to the standard consultant agreement (10 points), and potential interview performance (10 points). Proposals are due by 4:00 pm on Friday, June 27, 2025, through the City's eProcurement Portal, with a tentative contract approval date of July 28, 2025.

The procurement includes several mandatory certifications for bidders, including a Non-Collusion Affidavit, Non-Involvement in Nuclear Weapons Affirmation, and a Nondiscriminatory Employment Practices and Affirmative Action Certification Statement. Contractors must comply with the City of Hayward's ordinances regarding fair employment practices, nondiscrimination policies, and environmental considerations. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability, with specific coverage minimums. Potential contractors must designate an Equal Employment Opportunity Officer and may face penalties for non-compliance, including disqualification from future bidding for up to one year. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the project involves an appraisal of 37.5 acres of land with potential for residential development, suggesting a significant scope of work. The procurement is open to professional appraisal firms that can meet the specified qualifications and comply with the city's extensive contractual requirements.
