Public notice of receipt of an unsolicited ppea proposal

Roanoke County is soliciting unsolicited proposals through a Public-Private Educational Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA) procurement for the Hollins Library redevelopment project located at 6624 Peters Creek Road. The project involves a comprehensive library facility renovation or potential reconstruction, with G&H Contracting, Inc. submitting the initial unsolicited proposal. Interested parties are invited to submit competing proposals that comply with PPEA guidelines and county specifications. Proposal submissions must be delivered to the Roanoke County Finance Department Purchasing Division by February 25, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., requiring one original document, seven physical copies, and one redacted electronic copy. Each proposer must include a mandatory $5,000 processing fee payable to the Treasurer of Roanoke County, and conceptual design drawings and programming documents are available upon request. The county will thoroughly evaluate all submissions based on their alignment with project goals, technical feasibility, financial viability, and potential community impact.

The procurement opportunity demonstrates a commitment to inclusive participation, actively soliciting engagement from minority-owned businesses throughout the proposal process. Proposers can access non-proprietary sections of the original G&H Contracting proposal through the County website or eVA procurement portal, with the complete proposal available for public inspection at the Purchasing Office in the County Administration Center. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of a library redevelopment project suggests significant potential investment. The PPEA framework allows for flexible public-private partnerships, potentially enabling innovative financing and development approaches. Interested firms should carefully review the county's PPEA guidelines and be prepared to demonstrate technical expertise, financial stability, and a clear understanding of the project's community and infrastructural requirements.
