RFP to Develop Affordable Housing - 20 Brigantine Drive

The Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts, located in Barnstable County, is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop an affordable housing project on a 0.65-acre Town-owned parcel at 20 Brigantine Drive. The procurement seeks qualified developers with demonstrated experience in developing and managing affordable housing and related subsidy programs to construct a detached single-family dwelling. Key project requirements include constructing improvements on the property, with all developed assets remaining under the developer's ownership entity. The RFP will be available on the Town's procurement website starting November 5, 2025, with a mandatory site briefing session scheduled for November 19, 2025, at 1:30 PM at Falmouth Town Hall. Proposals must be submitted by 4:00 PM on January 5, 2026, to the Town Manager's Office, with all submissions required to remain valid for a minimum of 90 days. The Town Manager, serving as the Awarding Authority, reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals and waive procurement informalities as permitted by law.

The procurement is subject to the Uniform Procurement Act (G.L. c. 30B) and requires developers to comply with applicable state and federal laws, including specific Massachusetts General Law chapters. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly detailed in the legal advertisement. The property will be conveyed in "as is" condition with a fee simple title transfer. While no specific award value or budget range was provided, the RFP indicates that the Town reserves the right to cancel the procurement entirely or in part, reject all proposals, or extend the due date if deemed in the Town's best interest. Potential developers should note that the procurement process is comprehensive, requiring strict adherence to legal requirements and demonstrating substantial experience in affordable housing development and management.
