I. STATEMENT OF WORK
A. INTENT
The intent of the Specifications, Terms, and Conditions section is to describe the
economic development consulting services that this RFP seeks to procure.
The RFP contains two scopes of work, one for the Economic and Civic Development
Department (ECD) and one for the Surplus Property Authority (SPA). The RFP may result
in the selection of one or multiple Proposers, with separate agreements for ECD and
SPA.
The County intends to award a 3-year contract (with the option to renew for 2 years) to
the Proposer(s) that most conform to the RFP and meet the County’s requirements.
The estimated budget for both the ECD and SPA agreements is $300,000 (2-$150,000
agreements).
B. SCOPE
ECD is seeking a Proposer to provide economic development services for the
unincorporated communities in Alameda County, specifically: Castro Valley, San
Lorenzo, Ashland, Cherryland, Sunol, and the rural winegrowing region in
unincorporated East County. Services needed will range from analyses of retail market
demand and key development projects and suggestions of innovative approaches to
post-redevelopment financing, to strengthening of efforts to support food-related
businesses and implementation of an upcoming new economic development strategic
plan. The Proposer will also assist ECD with the reuse of former Redevelopment Agency
properties, including the historic Lorenzo Theater and 20095 Mission Boulevard.
Services needed may include the review of proformas for affordable housing and other
developments.
SPA is seeking a Proposer to assist with the disposition of properties. Services needed
include market analysis, Surplus Land Act compliance, assisting in the preparation and
review of requests for proposals, and supporting the preparation of exclusive
negotiation agreements and other disposition-related documents associated with SPA-
owned properties.
Proposers may respond to the scope of work for only ECD, only SPA, or for both ECD and
SPA.
