About this opportunity
The City of Gainesville is seeking a comprehensive development project for a grocery store site located at 2100 SE Hawthorne Road in Alachua County, Florida. The Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) solicits proposals for a multifaceted development featuring a mainstream grocery store ranging from 30,000 to 40,000 square feet, accompanied by a full-service commercial bank or credit union, and additional retail spaces including restaurants. The project is part of the Eastside Health and Economic Development Initiative (EHEDI) at Cornerstone, specifically targeting a USDA-designated food desert area. Key development objectives include creating a hiring plan that prioritizes East Gainesville residents, implementing an incumbent training program, and integrating local and small businesses into the retail components. The procurement timeline includes a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for June 11, 2025, at 2:30 PM with a site visit, questions due by June 18, 2025, and proposal submissions required by June 25, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The evaluation and selection process is anticipated during the weeks of July 7 and July 14, 2025, with potential oral presentations planned.
The solicitation encourages participation from various enterprise types, including Small Business Enterprises (SBE) and Service Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVE) certified with the City of Gainesville Department of Equity and Inclusion. Bidders must comply with multiple compliance requirements, including E-Verify employment verification, drug-free workplace policies, anti-human trafficking provisions, and restrictions on contractors from specific foreign countries of concern. Potential contractors must provide three professional references and certify their ability to meet the project's comprehensive development goals. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the City is prepared to offer incentives from the Community Reinvestment Area's (GCRA) annual budget to attract the right grocery store developer. The project emphasizes considerations for energy and water efficiency standards and aims to create a transformative development that addresses community needs in the East Gainesville area. Contractors must be prepared to navigate complex municipal contracting requirements, including provisions for public records compliance, intellectual property rights, and potential contract termination based on funding availability.
