About this opportunity

Seminole County has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ-4888-23) seeking a private partner to redevelop the Rosenwald School Property located at 1096 Merritt Street in Altamonte Springs, Florida. The procurement seeks a developer to implement Hybrid Concept B, which involves renovating buildings #1, #2, and #5 while demolishing other existing structures on the site. The comprehensive redevelopment project aims to create a multi-purpose community asset that includes affordable multi-family housing, a new 12,500 square foot community center, a Sheriff's Department substation, a heritage center and museum, urban farming plots, memorial plazas, and outdoor recreation spaces. Qualified respondents must demonstrate capabilities in engineering, design, renovation, and construction, with the ability to develop permanent, deed-restricted affordable housing. The RFQ was released on February 8, 2023, with questions due by February 26, 2023, and final responses required to be submitted electronically by March 8, 2023, at 2:00 pm. Seminole County will support the project by processing zoning changes at no cost, demolishing non-retained buildings using ARPA funds, and potentially providing additional grant funding.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. Seminole County will provide several key support mechanisms for the selected developer, including full demolition of non-retained buildings and potential financial contributions from grant funding. The private partner will be authorized to develop affordable multi-family housing and retain 100% of the income generated from that use. While no specific budget range is detailed, the county will conduct a cost-benefit analysis to maximize efficient use of taxpayer funds. The project anticipates coordination between Seminole County Leisure Services and Community Services Departments for future programming and space utilization. The redevelopment aims to create a sustainable neighborhood asset that serves current and future residents of the Winwood/East Altamonte community, with the county managing operations of the renovated buildings and community center, though alternative operational proposals will be considered.
