Update on the Request for Qualifications No. 2019-003 Redevelopment of the Former H.D. King Plant Site and selection of shortlist to enter the Request for Proposals phase.

The City of Fort Pierce and Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency has embarked upon a two-phase solicitation process -- Request for Qualifications and Request for Proposals -- for the redevelopment of the former H.D. King Plant Site.
The first step of the process is the Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The RFQ is used as a screening step to establish a qualified pool of firms who are eligible to submit responses to a Request for Proposals (RFP).  In this two-step process, the response to the RFQ describes the company or individual's general qualifications to redevelop the property.
The RFQ was issued on November 14, 2018 with a response deadline of January 23, 2019. The City of Fort Pierce and Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency received five (5) responses to the Request for Qualifications: Audubon Development, BH3 Management, Jeanne Arias, Marina View Partners Holding, and Virgin Trains USA.

FPRA Board to identify short listed candidates to enter into request for proposals phase for this redevelopment opportunity.

Staff will proceed as directed by the FPRA Board.
