Affordable Housing Development At 635 S. Hwy 101

The City of Solana Beach is soliciting proposals to redevelop its 1.08-acre property at 635 S. Hwy 101, currently housing City Hall, into a horizontal mixed-use development that includes approximately 17 very low- or low-income rental housing units and a new City Hall facility. The City retains ownership of the site and will provide financial support specifically for the City Hall component, which may be constructed on the same parcel or relocated to another acceptable location within the city. The development must include a shared parking structure to serve both residential and municipal needs, and all units must be rental-only, with no for-sale housing permitted. The project is expected to meet or exceed zero net energy standards and maintain or expand electric vehicle charging stations, aligning with the City’s sustainability goals. Proposals must demonstrate compliance with local planning and zoning regulations and include conceptual architectural drawings, a preliminary project timeline and cost proforma, team qualifications, résumés of key personnel, and three references. The submission must be delivered in hard copy by November 1, 2026, to the City Planner’s office. Evaluation of proposals will be based on a trade-off approach, weighing project team capability, relevant prior experience, interviews, and the feasibility of the proposed timeline and budget without assigning numerical weights to factors. The City may negotiate with the top-ranked proposer and then proceed to alternatives if necessary, indicating that technical merit and overall value are prioritized over cost alone. Submission requirements include specific page limits for each section, with no electronic submission method specified—only physical delivery is acknowledged. No set-asides, socioeconomic preferences, UEI or CAGE codes, federal funding codes, or formal contract administration roles such as COR or COTR are specified. The City reserves the right to reject all proposals, and no contractual options or termination provisions are outlined. Attachment materials, including aerial site maps, survey documents, and existing site plans, are provided to support proposer understanding of the project context and site constraints.
