Request for Qualifications
At the conclusion of the March 14-16, 2023 charrette, the City of Vestavia Hills conducted post-charrette community feedback exercises and is presenting the plan documents for acceptance by its Planning and Zoning Commission to utilize as guidance in ongoing and future redevelopment opportunities. The collective public feedback has been positive to this point. To move these concepts forward, the City is seeking the services of a qualified master development company to enter into a “Master Development Agreement” (MDA) with the City that will accomplish the following goals:
- Provide a viable redevelopment plan that accomplishes the vision established as a result of the March 2023 charrette.
- Provide an option to purchase, on negotiated terms, for the acquisition and development of the City’s property at 1485 Montgomery Highway that will accompany potential assemblage of the four contiguous properties referenced in the RFQ exhibits. The proposing development company shall provide proposed terms for said conditional purchase agreement as a part of its submission.
- Execute the items included and proposed as Master Development Services in the Request for Qualifications.
The Request for Qualifications has been published and submissions will be accepted until Monday, July 10, 2023 at 3pm CST.
