Workforce Housing Redevelopment Design & Feasibility Analysis

Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC), operating in Windham County, Vermont, is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a preliminary design and feasibility analysis for the residential conversion of six properties currently utilized for office and commercial purposes. These buildings were originally constructed as single-family homes and represent the target assets for workforce housing redevelopment. The scope of work requires consultants to develop and evaluate practical redevelopment scenarios for each property that strategically balance the maximization of housing unit yield against upfront renovation costs, with the ultimate objective of identifying the optimal use of each building to support workforce housing initiatives. The analysis will serve as a critical foundation document for future redevelopment decisions and project implementation. Deliverables will include feasibility assessments, preliminary design concepts, and cost-benefit analyses for each scenario. The Request for Proposals was posted on April 15, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of May 1, 2026. Specific details regarding proposal response requirements, site visit requirements, bidders' conferences, evaluation criteria, and contract terms are contained within the complete RFP documentation (Residential Conversion RFP.docx.pdf), though certain procedural details were unavailable for review.

The RFP documentation does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on organizational eligibility, or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises based on the information available. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed for this procurement opportunity. Similarly, no specific budget allocation or award value range is disclosed in the summarized materials. Interested consultants should review the complete RFP documentation for comprehensive details regarding funding sources, contract terms, renewal options, evaluation scoring methodology, and any administrative or technical requirements that may apply to proposal submissions. Organizations considering response should confirm their qualifications in design, feasibility analysis, residential conversion planning, and workforce housing development prior to submission.
