RFQ 2023-05 Downtown Mixed Use Facility

The Perry Downtown Development Authority, in coordination with the City of Perry, Georgia, is soliciting responses from qualified developers for RFQ 2023-05 to plan, develop, and deliver a mixed-use facility on a 1.4-acre site in Downtown Perry at 718 Carroll Street between Carroll Street and Main Street, with proposals due January 13, 2023.

The project requires a combination of public and private uses. The City of Perry must occupy office space as a perpetual lessee with square footage to be determined by the City. Complementary private uses should address market needs in Downtown Perry and include retail, restaurants, office space, and residential components positioned to leverage the site's density potential and drive downtown patronage and visibility. Respondents must demonstrate capability to deliver the development independently, timely, professionally, and comprehensively. The RFQ includes site survey, photographs, and demographic analysis as Exhibits A and C.

Evaluation uses a 100-point rubric across six weighted categories: Project Concept and Proposed Uses (40 points), Demonstrated Experience with Similar Projects (15 points), Development Team Experience (15 points), Project Methodology (10 points), Financial Standing (10 points), and Other (10 points). Scoring ranges from 0 points for absent or inadequate submissions to 10 points for very clear, specific, or extensive demonstrations of capability. Pricing accounts for 30 percent of evaluation criteria; proposals exceeding a tentative budget of $50,000 incur point deductions.

Questions were received November 30 and December 2, 2022. The source does not specify a pre-bid meeting or site visit, contract term, funding sources, or incumbent information.
