The City of Hayward is soliciting sealed proposals through Request for Proposals 26-031 for leasehold interest and land value appraisals of two city-owned properties located at 22631-22852 Foothill Boulevard (Assessor Parcel Numbers 428-0066-085-00 and 428-0066-086-00), commonly known as Cinema Place and Cinema Place Parking Garage. The procurement requires an independent, well-supported appraisal that provides an objective and defensible basis for evaluating ground lease value and land value to support the City's informed decision-making. Deliverables include a kick-off meeting, review of existing documents including land use controls and site plans, preparation of a draft appraisal report with City staff review and revision cycles, and delivery of a final comprehensive report in both bound paper and PDF formats. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the City's OpenGov Procurement portal by 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, with a deadline for questions established as January 27, 2026, contractor selection scheduled for February 11, 2026, and subsequent City Council contract approval to follow. Proposals will be evaluated on six equally weighted criteria at 16.7 percent each: project management (10 points), project understanding (10 points), approach (10 points), qualifications of firm and team (10 points), responsiveness (10 points), and appropriateness of cost (10 points). Qualified proposing firms must demonstrate relevant appraisal experience, maintain appropriate professional licenses, identify key personnel, and submit proposals organized into nine specified sections including firm qualifications, staffing details, project approach, workplan, schedule, and cost proposal on a not-to-exceed basis with clearly identified labor rates and professional staff designations.
