Mixed Housing Project

Jackson County, Missouri is seeking a qualified development team to execute a Mixed Housing Project through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 25-045. The project requires a comprehensive affordable housing initiative focusing on pre-development planning, site development analysis, architectural design, financing acquisition, construction management, property management, and community engagement. Proposing firms must demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience in affordable housing development and provide municipal contract references. The evaluation committee will score submissions across several categories: responsiveness (5%), general background (25%), organizational capacity (10%), experience (25%), qualifications (25%), and resumes (10%). Critical procurement dates include a Question Response Deadline of December 16, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time, and a proposal submission deadline of December 23, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. All submissions must be made electronically through the Jackson County Bonfire Portal, with the successful respondent expected to complete the project by May 2026.

The procurement appears open to all qualified developers, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. Potential financing sources for the project include Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), HOME and CDBG Funds, State and Local Housing Trust Funds, and private equity and debt financing. Respondents must submit a Certificate of Insurance, W-9 Form, proof of current federal, state, and local occupational licenses, and two dedicated email addresses within ten business days of award notification. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Commercial Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), Workers Compensation at statutory limits, and Excess/Umbrella Liability ($1,000,000). While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the complexity of the project and required insurance coverage suggest a substantial investment in affordable housing development for Jackson County.
