I. STATEMENT OF WORK

A. INTENT

The intent of the Specifications, Terms, and Conditions section is to describe the

economic development consulting services that this RFP seeks to procure.

The RFP contains two scopes of work, one for the Economic and Civic Development

Department (ECD) and one for the Surplus Property Authority (SPA). The RFP may result

in the selection of one or multiple Proposers, with separate agreements for ECD and

SPA.

The County intends to award a 3-year contract (with the option to renew for 2 years) to

the Proposer(s) that most conform to the RFP and meet the County’s requirements.

The estimated budget for both the ECD and SPA agreements is $300,000 (2-$150,000

agreements).

B. SCOPE

ECD is seeking a Proposer to provide economic development services for the

unincorporated communities in Alameda County, specifically: Castro Valley, San

Lorenzo, Ashland, Cherryland, Sunol, and the rural winegrowing region in

unincorporated East County. Services needed will range from analyses of retail market

demand and key development projects and suggestions of innovative approaches to

post-redevelopment financing, to strengthening of efforts to support food-related

businesses and implementation of an upcoming new economic development strategic

plan. The Proposer will also assist ECD with the reuse of former Redevelopment Agency

properties, including the historic Lorenzo Theater and 20095 Mission Boulevard.

Services needed may include the review of proformas for affordable housing and other

developments.

SPA is seeking a Proposer to assist with the disposition of properties. Services needed

include market analysis, Surplus Land Act compliance, assisting in the preparation and

review of requests for proposals, and supporting the preparation of exclusive

negotiation agreements and other disposition-related documents associated with SPA-

owned properties.

Proposers may respond to the scope of work for only ECD, only SPA, or for both ECD and

SPA.
