Housing Development Consultant - Litchfield Housing Authority

The Litchfield Housing Authority (LHA) is seeking proposals from housing development consultants for a comprehensive project planning and funding application preparation initiative in Litchfield, Connecticut. The procurement (Solicitation #15998) aims to secure consulting services for developing approximately 8 affordable rental housing units on a recently purchased 1.26-acre vacant parcel located at 176 East Street. The selected consultant will be responsible for project planning, preparing funding applications, and supporting the development of this affordable housing project, which is adjacent to the existing Wells Run Apartments development. The solicitation opened on June 2, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT and will close on June 23, 2023, at 4:00 PM EDT, with proposals to be submitted during this timeframe. The site has confirmed access to public sewer and water utilities, which will be critical for the development. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the consultant will likely be assessed on their expertise in affordable housing development, funding application preparation, and project planning capabilities. The procurement contact for any questions is Jim Simoncelli Jr. at the Litchfield Housing Authority.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit references to disadvantaged enterprise requirements. The documents do not specify an estimated total contract value or budget range for the consulting services. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms, indicating flexibility in potential contractor arrangements. The site's location adjacent to an existing affordable housing development and its utility access suggest a relatively straightforward development environment. No specific infrastructure or technology integration requirements are outlined in the solicitation documents. Interested consultants are encouraged to review the full Request for Proposals (RFP) document and contact Jim Simoncelli Jr. for any additional information or clarification regarding the project.
