Tiny Home Village Development

Volusia County is requesting proposals from qualified non-profit developers to design, develop, and construct a tiny home village in Orange City, Florida under RFP #26-P-89MC, with proposals due August 26, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and a mandatory pre-solicitation conference on August 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Attendance at the conference is required for proposal submission eligibility.

The scope targets affordable homeownership for veterans, seniors, and workforce housing populations across a sustainable, community-oriented tiny home village on county-designated parcels. The successful developer must deliver a minimum of 25 units within a five-year term, with the initial four units completed within three years and the remaining 21 units within four years; any units exceeding 25 must be completed within five years. Respondents must demonstrate fiscal and managerial ability, necessary capabilities, resources, and personnel to perform.

Comprehensive insurance is mandatory, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability with unspecified minimum limits, professional liability, and motor vehicle liability, with Volusia County named as additional insured on applicable policies. The County is a drug-free and smoke-free workplace and enforces compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, E-Verify requirements, public records laws, and anti-discrimination provisions.

The County will remit full payment on undisputed invoices within 45 business days of receipt, with interest accruing at one percent monthly on unpaid invoices after 30 days. Volusia County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, negotiate with competing respondents, waive informalities, and award based on best value rather than lowest price alone. Questions are due August 12, 2026 at 11:55 p.m. Proposals remain valid through November 1, 2026.
