Development Feasibility Advisory Services for Redevelopment of Baptist Hospital Legacy Campus

Due to the large size of the file, the RFP document cannot be accessed on this site. It must be accessed at the City of Pensacola website: www.cityofpensacola.com/bids.aspx. GOAL The City of Pensacola, and its Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), (jointly, the "City") are issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) for Real Estate Feasibility and Development Advisory Services related to the redevelopment of the Baptist Hospital Legacy Campus into a thriving, mixed-income, mixed-use community. This property, located at 1000 W Moreno St, Pensacola, Florida, represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform a roughly 50-acre site into a sustainable neighborhood that honors the site's history and the surrounding community's long-established character while delivering modern housing, commercial, and community amenities for current and future residents. We invite qualified firms with demonstrated experience in real estate feasibility analysis, financial modeling, and mixed-income master planning and development advisory services to submit proposals. The selected firm will serve as the City's prime planning and financial feasibility consultant and shall be responsible for securing a qualified Community Engagement Lead and Community Benefits Lead as part of their project team. The Community Engagement Lead shall guide, execute, and document the community input process, with that input serving as a governing framework for all planning scenarios, financial models, and final recommendations produced by the Development Feasibility Advisor. The Community Benefits Lead shall assist the City and DFA in identifying community benefit priorities and principles and defining implementation strategies to ensure the redevelopment benefits local residents in accordance with their defined principles and prevents displacement. This solicitation represents Phases 1 and 2 of the City's three-phase approach to the redevelopment of the Baptist Hospital Legacy Campus. Phase 1: Community Engagement and Phase 2: Development Feasibility Advisory Services are both procured through this solicitation and will commence in Fall 2026. Community input gathered in Phase 1 will serve as the governing framework for the Development Feasibility Advisor in Phase 2, who will translate that input into financially sound development scenarios to directly inform the subsequent solicitation of a Master Developer in Phase 3. The City is committed to a deliberate, community-first process, one in which the voices of residents shape what is built, and the financial reality of the market determines what is possible. The term for this contract will be for one year, with the option to extend. The firm may be procured under this contract to perform continuing services for the purposes of consistency review and other redevelopment advisory services during subsequent phases of the development process, as determined necessary by the City and CRA to support implementation of the redevelopment vision and related initiatives within the campus area and surrounding vicinity. SCOPE OF WORK The City of Pensacola seeks a qualified Development Feasibility Advisor to assess the financial viability of redeveloping the Baptist Hospital Legacy Campus, as depicted in Attachment A. The Development Feasibility Advisor shall serve as the City's prime master planning and financial feasibility consultant for the Baptist Hospital Legacy Campus and shall be responsible for evaluating site conditions, surrounding land uses, applicable zoning and regulatory constraints, infrastructure and access considerations, market demand, financial feasibility, and redevelopment opportunities in order to produce an implementable master plan with supporting financial framework for the property. The Development Feasibility Advisor shall work in direct and ongoing coordination with the Community Engagement Lead and Community Benefits Lead retained as part of the project team and shall incorporate documented public input, stakeholder feedback, and City policy direction as foundational inputs into all planning scenarios, financial models, and final recommendations. Community engagement findings shall not be treated as advisory, they shall serve as governing parameters that shape and constrain the development program.
