Request for Proposals - Consultant Services

Redevelopment Project
The Lake Worth Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), Florida
Submittal Deadline: November 13, 2007

The Lake Worth Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) does hereby invite
proposals from private redevelopers or any person(s) interested in
undertaking a mixed use / workforce housing redevelopment project
pursuant to the Lake Worth Community Redevelopment Plan.

The Project Area is generally located at the southeast intersection of
6th Avenue South and South "F" Street. Proposals shall be in compliance
with and further the purposes of the Community Redevelopment Plan in
which the Project Area is located. Copies of the plan may be obtained
from or reviewed at the office of CRA. Proposals should be for the
redevelopment of the Project Area consisting of a signature mixed use /
workforce housing development. The mix of uses allowed shall be in
accordance with the current Gateways Zoning District. The redevelopment
shall also take into account the housing and commercial needs of the
population in Lake Worth, keeping in the bounds of the current zoning.

The successful Proposer will furnish a conceptual Master Development
Plan that most closely meets the needs of the community. In the event of
a tie in the evaluation of the development proposals, bonus points will
be given for the Master Development Plan that best meets the criteria
set forth in the RFP and furthers the goals and objectives of the
redevelopment plan and zoning for the Gateways Zoning District.

The Proposer's Master Development Plan must include, at a minimum: a
preliminary site plan; tabular data on parking, open space, building
height, density, unit mix and sizes; a narrative on the square footage
and floor area ratio of proposed improvements in the Project Area; and
the potential cost of proposed improvements (public and private) in the
Project Area. Submittal of development proposals will meet the detailed
criteria contained in the RFP document available.

The CRA currently holds an option to purchase on the site, a copy of
which is available upon request. The CRA gives no assurances that
parcels not owned by the CRA will be owned by them in the future. The
CRA may however; pursuant to the terms of a development agreement,
convey any property rights that accrue to the CRA following negotiations
with public landowners to the successful Proposer under this RFP.

Proposals by those interested in such undertaking shall be filed within
thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this notice, which is
October 14, 2007. Submission of one (1) signed original (signed in blue
ink), one electronic version (PDF file is acceptable), and ten (10)

*	A Letter of Commitment to Provide a Detailed Development
Proposal, if Required; 
*	An RFP Negotiation Fee in the amount of $10,000; and 
*	A Letter of Intent to Enter into Negotiations in Good Faith. 

Proposals shall be filed at the City of Lake Worth Purchasing Office
located at:

1900 North 2nd Avenue 
Lake Worth, FL 33461 
Attention: Purchasing Administrator

Persons interested in submitting a proposal should immediately obtain
additional information concerning the Project Area, the desired
