RFP 26-917 | Housing-Focused Development | Issue Date: June 25, 2026

Background

The City is facing a housing shortage and is pursuing several strategies to encourage the

development of more housing, including developing housing on City and TPS-owned properties.

The City and TPS wish to sell certain properties while retaining ownership of the other to negotiate

long-term lease agreements with Developers who agree to construct and manage/operate

Developments that include housing and other appropriate uses.

The City will consider the uses, architectural designs, construction materials, affordability, price (for

some parcels), attention to the public realm, neighborhood engagement, and neighborhood

compatibility when choosing prevailing respondents.

Following receipt of proposals, Tulsa Public Schools may conduct additional due diligence,

negotiations, legal review, and Board consideration before any transaction is finalized.

Housing & Affordability

Housing will be required on all of the City-owned sites included in this RFP and is encouraged on

the TPS-owned sites. Proposals are encouraged to include neighborhood-serving retail and/or

amenities appropriate to each site, where zoning allows.

Of the housing proposed on the City-owned sites, at least one quarter (1/4) of all housing units

shall be affordable for 2.34-person households earning at or below one hundred twenty percent

(120%) of the Area Median Income (AMI) and at least one quarter (1/4) of all housing units shall be

affordable for 2.34-person households earning at or below sixty percent (60%) of the Area Median

Income (AMI).

These affordability levels equate to sales prices at or below $285,228 (120% AMI) and $142,614

(60% AMI) and monthly rentals at or below $2,380 (120% AMI) and $1,190 (60% AMI).

Two-Step RFP Process for City-owned sites: Initial Concepts First

In order to make this opportunity more accessible and give the City more potential development

options, only concepts and basic sketches/renderings will be required initially. Proposals should

include a narrative description of developments and Developer’s experience in completing similar

projects, along with a sketch or initial rendering. The narrative description should include, at a

minimum, the type of development proposed (housing, retail, mixed-use, etc.), number of housing

units proposed, number of and approximate size of building(s), and intended uses. If there are

multiple proposals for any site, the City anticipates working with the top two (2) or three (3)

proposals to then further develop and finalize plans before making an award.

RFP Process for TPS-owned sites:

TPS will conduct a more traditional, one-step process for TPS-owned sites. Any proposed sale

remains subject to TPS Board approval and TPS reserves the right to accept or reject any proposal

related to TPS-owned sites. Respondents should specifically describe their intended

use/redevelopment concept for the TPS-owned sites.
