RFP to Develop Affordable Housing - 20 Brigantine Drive

The Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) soliciting qualified developers to design, build, and manage an affordable housing project on a municipally owned 0.65-acre parcel located at 20 Brigantine Drive. The property will be conveyed in fee simple and in "as is" condition to the selected developer, who will assume ownership of all property improvements. The RFP aims to support the Town’s strategic objective of expanding affordable housing stock and mandates compliance with relevant Massachusetts statutes on municipal land use for affordable housing, including G.L. c. 30B (Uniform Procurement Act), G.L. c. 44 §63A, and G.L. c. 60 §§77A and 77B, as well as applicable state and federal housing laws. A mandatory site briefing is scheduled for November 19, 2025, and proposals must be submitted by January 5, 2026. The Town Manager, Michael Renshaw, serves as the awarding authority with sole discretion to accept, reject, or cancel proposals, emphasizing a best-value award approach based on the developer's demonstrated experience and capability in affordable housing development and management. This procurement does not include detailed federal acquisition clauses or standard contract deliverables such as pricing line items, performance metrics, or formal evaluation rubrics in the publicly available material. There is no specified contract type or invoicing methodology, nor are there clearly defined timelines for project completion beyond proposal submission deadlines. The selected developer will be responsible for all construction, compliance with quality standards, and long-term property management. Proposal submissions must remain valid for 90 days, and proposers are required to register on the Town’s procurement portal to receive updates or any addenda related to the RFP. The award will prioritize proposals that align with the Town’s goals and satisfy the regulatory requirements, with the Town Manager’s Office handling proposal receipt and contract administration. Pricing and cost information will be submitted by offerors in their proposals, as no budgetary figures are provided within the solicitation documents.
