Consulting Services for Evaluation of Sports Stadium Development Proposals

The City of Green Bay, Wisconsin, has issued Request for Information RFI-002-2026 to gather insights from qualified consulting firms with expertise in advising public agencies on the evaluation of sports stadium and sports-anchored mixed-use development proposals. This RFI is purely informational and does not constitute a solicitation, nor will it result in a contract award; its purpose is to inform the future development of a Request for Qualifications or Request for Proposals. Respondents are expected to submit a single PDF document not exceeding ten pages, excluding resumes and supporting materials, detailing their firm overview, relevant experience, proposed project team structure, and estimated cost approach. The submission deadline is June 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM CDT, and responses must be sent electronically to the City’s Purchasing Department. The RFI emphasizes the need for consultants to demonstrate independence, requiring full disclosure of any prior engagements with sports organizations or developers over the past five years and outlining measures to ensure impartiality throughout assessments. Evaluation considerations focus on the ability to independently review financial models, including attendance projections, revenue and cost estimates, tax increment financing scenarios, infrastructure exposure, fiscal impact analysis, site feasibility, negotiation strategy support, and governance structures for public-private partnerships. While no formal evaluation factors, weighting criteria, or contract clauses are defined, the City anticipates using these responses to shape future procurement requirements and selection standards. Consultants are encouraged, though not required, to highlight the involvement of disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned businesses. No physical packaging, marking, inspection, acceptance, or delivery terms are specified, as this request pertains solely to professional advisory services. The City has not established a contract value, accounting codes, invoicing methods, or designated contracting officers, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses apply due to the municipal and pre-solicitation nature of the document.
