The RFQ
The City of Hutto is requesting qualified submittals from a master development team to assist in the planning and development of land owned by the City. The City seeks to develop a partnership with an interested and qualified development team to assist in the realization of the City’s long-term vision for the redevelopment of the former industrial site known as The Hutto Co-op District.
A small portion of the site will be used for a new Municipal complex and a park area, while the majority of the remaining land will be offered for private mixed-use development. The City shall require the selected development partner to work within the guidelines set forth in the Master Plan for the Co-op District (2009), as well as the Master Plan for Old Town Hutto (2007). This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is the first part of a two-part selection process.
Phase I
The issuance of this RFQ in Phase I is intended to establish a short list of qualified development teams. Once this short list has been established from the initial respondents, the selected firms will be invited to submit proposals in response to a more fully developed and specified Scope of Work.
Phase II
Phase II will involve the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select firms identified through evaluation in Phase I. Participation in Phase II of the process will be limited to firms recommended by City staff and their consultant’s after completion of Phase I. During this scope refinement process, the prospective development partners will be asked to include design, build, finance, leasing and management components in their proposal. Please refer to the full RFQ for complete details
