RFP: Housing Development Feasibility Study

The Town of Hancock in Vermont is seeking proposals for a comprehensive housing development feasibility study focused on constructing affordable workforce housing on an undeveloped Town-owned property located near VT-100 and Taylor Meadow. The primary objective of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to select a single firm or team of firms capable of conducting an in-depth feasibility assessment for potential housing development. Complementary evaluations of well/septic systems, archaeological sites, floodplain characteristics, and historic architectural elements will be conducted by separate contractors to support this study. The RFP was posted on August 6, 2025, with proposals due by October 2, 2025, providing potential respondents approximately eight weeks to prepare and submit their comprehensive feasibility study proposals. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the available documentation, the scope suggests that respondents will need to demonstrate expertise in housing development, land use assessment, and affordable workforce housing strategies.

Unfortunately, due to the inaccessibility of the attached RFP.pdf file, specific details regarding set-aside designations, vendor restrictions, incumbent contractors, or precise budget ranges cannot be definitively confirmed. The procurement appears to be located within Addison County, Vermont, with a focus on local community development needs. Without the complete RFP document, it is not possible to specify exact qualifications, integration requirements, or potential award values. Interested firms would be advised to directly contact the Town of Hancock for comprehensive details about submission requirements, potential funding sources, and specific evaluation metrics for this housing development feasibility study project.
