[MassHistPres] Easthampton Elementary School Reuse RFP

[Jamie Webb]

Good morning,
We are very excited to release an RFP for the redevelopment of 3 elementary
schools here in Easthampton. We have been working towards this since 2018
and have been supported by two EEA Planning Assistance Grants, technical
support from MassDevelopment and Valley CDC, and consulting by Emily Innes
of Innes Associates. The project builds off our 2020 Downtown Strategic
Plan prepared by Harriman Associates and our 2021 Housing Production Plan
prepared by the Barrett Group. Follow this link to view the RFP and
supporting documents: https://easthamptonma.gov/554/Elementary-School-Reuse

The City of Easthampton seeks proposals for the disposition of one or more
of the buildings associated with the former Maple Street School at 7 Chapel
Street, Pepin School at 4 Park Street, and Center School at 9 School
Street. The purpose of this disposition is to develop affordable housing
across a range of affordability levels to address the need for such housing
needs within the city. The City anticipates disposition by sale to a
development team responsive to the criteria in this request for proposals.

Interested parties are encouraged to email Michael Owens, Procurement
Officer for the City of Easthampton, at mowens at easthamptonma.gov to request
a copy of the RFP and to formally register as a proposer to receive RFP
addendum issued by the City.

The City will conduct a mandatory in-person pre-proposal meeting at Maple
School, followed by a site visit on November 9, 2022, at 11 am. If the City
cancels the briefing and site visit because of inclement weather, the site
walk will be rescheduled to November 10, 2022, at 11 am. Please register
for the briefing and site walk by emailing Michael Owens at
mowens at easthamptonma.gov.

Questions may be sent in writing to Michael Owens by email at
mowens at easthamptonma.gov or in writing to the address below on or before
2:00 pm on November 23, 2022.

Proposals are due on or before February 16, 2023 by 11:00 am. Applicant
must submit one unbound original, two (2) bound copies, and one electronic
copy to: Michael Owens Procurement Officer City of Easthampton 50 Payson
