9.C. - Page 4 RFP Mandatory Requirements The Bradford Site was acquired with former Redwood City Redevelopment Agency Low Mod Set Aside funds and the residential development on the site must comply with both the City and Housing Successor Agency's affordable housing requirements. These requirements include a minimum percentage of units that would be made to very low and/or very-low and low to moderate income households, as defined in the California Health and Safety Code. The City expects as substantial amount of affordable units onsite, which would most likely be delivered in a 100% affordable development. Beyond the City's affordable housing requirements, developers who respond to the RFP would describe the affordability ratios for each income level. In addition to the affordability requirements, developers (and their contractors and sub- contractors) would be subject to prevailing wage regulations, which would be regularly monitored by the City. Non-discrimination provisions would also apply to the project. These provisions require that nondiscrimination and non-segregation clauses shall be included in all deeds, leases, and contracts relating to the subject development or property transactions. Request for Proposal Details The RFP represents the initial step in the development of the Site. Responses to the RFP would demonstrate the developer's understanding of the City's goals and specific expertise in developing high quality mixed use projects. Respondents must disclose financial capability to undertake the proposed development. A thorough narrative of the development concept with a description of the respondents' approach to urban design and architecture that will meet the goals of the RFP is required. The draft RFP includes information for pre-submittal discussions with City staff, submittal deadlines, and submittal requirements such as: • Description of the development entity and team members including architects, engineers, legal representatives and property managers and brokers; • Overview of the development entities experience and qualifications, including examples of projects completed by the entity; • Conceptual design of the project, including a project summary containing the total number of units, the affordability ratios, site plan, floor plans, section drawings, elevation sketches, parking plan, sustainable design and building features, parking strategies and any expected deviations from the Guidelines of the DTPP;
