NYCHA, by issuing this RFP for Professional Services, seeks proposals (“Proposals”) from qualified financial institutions or lenders (the “Proposers” or “Lenders”) to provide NYCHA with financing for the aforementioned Projects, as detailed more fully within Section II of this RFP (collectively, the “Services”). Through this RFP, NYCHA presently estimates borrowing approximately $130 million in total for financing the four (4) Projects listed above, for a period not to exceed 20 years (for each EPC financed) or the useful life of the financed ECMs. The loan proceeds will be used to finance all Project costs, including acquisition of equipment to be installed and other soft costs under the Projects, and reimbursement of funds expended by NYCHA in advance of the closing to cover legal and other related expenses. As required by HUD regulation in Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”), Part 990.185, the loan will be repaid from the value of measured energy savings to be generated after the installation of the ECMs.

The release date of this RFP is December 2, 2024 (the “Release Date”).
