Sale and Development of 15 Douglas St

The Town of Bloomfield, Connecticut is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP No. 1111) seeking qualified and experienced firms or individuals to purchase and develop a municipally owned property located at 15 Douglas Street in Bloomfield, Hartford County. The procurement is specifically designed to solicit comprehensive proposals for the sale and subsequent development of this property, with the primary objective of identifying a vendor capable of transforming the site through strategic real estate development. The solicitation was initially posted on November 21, 2021, with proposals due by January 12, 2022 at 1:00 PM EST, and included a vendor question and answer period running from November 21, 2021 to January 7, 2022 at 4:00 PM EST. Potential respondents are expected to demonstrate expertise in property acquisition, development planning, and potential construction or renovation capabilities. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documents, vendors will likely be assessed on their development vision, financial capacity, proposed property use, and overall qualifications. The primary point of contact for this opportunity is Nancy Haynes, who can be reached at 860-769-3534 or nhaynes@bloomfieldct.org.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations permitted to respond, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, including private developers, real estate firms, construction companies, and individual investors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no apparent limitations based on business size, ownership structure, or minority/disadvantaged enterprise status. The solicitation includes three attached documents: the main RFP and two addenda, though the specific contents of these additional documents are not detailed. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms, and the RFP has been designated as having no specific line items. Notably, no estimated total value or budget range is provided for the property or potential development, which suggests the Town is seeking proposals that will be evaluated based on their individual merits and potential community impact rather than a predetermined financial threshold.
