RFP for PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OF MALONGA CASQUELOURD CENTER RESIDENTIAL UNITS

Oakland Parks, Recreation, & Youth Development is requesting proposals for property management services at the Malonga Casquelourd Center residential units, a 74-unit single-room occupancy facility at 1428 Alice Street in Downtown Oakland, with proposals due August 28, 2026. Addendum 1 modifies original RFP terms; prospective bidders must review both documents together.

The scope encompasses full property management operations of the residential component within this historic arts center, including tenant relations, lease administration, maintenance coordination, and facility oversight. Individual unit sizes range from 143 to 272 square feet across the fourth through sixth floors of the building. The property management company will operate under an existing lease structure governing rent payment, security deposits, tenant conduct, lease renewal, and compliance with California housing codes and Oakland municipal ordinances.

The RFP establishes pricing and cost-structure proposals as a required submission element. The contract term and renewal options depend on satisfactory performance and mutual agreement. Oakland's procurement policies may include local business enterprise (LBE) set-aside or community-benefit requirements; the source does not specify whether this procurement carries a formal set-aside or preference program.

Evaluation criteria include management experience, financial stability, community engagement approach, and operational capability to maintain the residential units while supporting the Malonga Casquelourd Center's mission as a mixed-use cultural and residential facility. The selected firm will assume responsibility for housing regulation compliance, lease administration, and coordination with ongoing capital improvements documented in the facility feasibility study, which identified phased renovation work designed to maintain occupancy during construction. No contract value, incumbent contractor, or detailed timeline for questions, site visits, or award is provided in the source.
