Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Campus Redevelopment

The City of Dallas Office of Housing and Community Empowerment is soliciting qualification proposals for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Campus Redevelopment, solicitation number BHZ26-00031290. This project seeks a Texas-registered nonprofit or for-profit consultant and design team to provide comprehensive master planning and multidisciplinary design concepts for the 10.5-acre campus located at 2922 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Funded through a Congressional Project Grant, the scope includes the potential rehabilitation or reconstruction of the existing community center and the integration of affordable housing opportunities. The contract is structured as a one-year professional services agreement on a cost-reimbursement basis, with one optional one-year renewal at the City's discretion. The selection process is based on the most advantageous proposal, evaluating the lead firm and team's qualifications, past project experience, project management capabilities, and demonstrated success in community and stakeholder engagement. Key deliverables are divided into three phases: project initiation, community engagement, and the assessment of existing conditions, including ADA compliance. Awardees must adhere to strict compliance standards, including non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity clauses, the MIT Living Wage floor for general service contracts over 50,000 dollars, and certification that they are not suspended or debarred from HUD-funded contracts. Administrative requirements include monthly invoicing via Electronic Funds Transfer with a 30-calendar-day payment term. Consultants are required to maintain specific liability insurance and comply with the Texas Public Information Act. Proposals must be submitted electronically as separate PDF files for the primary proposal and fee proposal by the specified deadline. Preference is given to products made of recycled materials if the price does not exceed comparable non-recycled products by more than 10 percent.
