Public Safety Center - Market Sounding Survey

The City of Hayward is conducting a market‑sounding survey to gather industry feedback on a proposed Public Safety Center (PSC) that would consolidate police headquarters, jail, shooting range, animal services, youth services, and related facilities. The RFI seeks input on feasibility, delivery options (especially public‑private partnership), financing, risk allocation, and pre‑development activities. Respondents may submit written responses and optionally request a one‑on‑one virtual or in‑person meeting with the City to discuss their ideas. The City will use the information to shape a future pre‑development procurement but this RFI does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of award. • Scope: feasibility study, market feedback, potential P3 delivery models, financing structures, risk mitigation, and pre‑development cost contributions. • Deliverables: written response (max 10 pages) to Section 13 questions, firm profile, planned role, and willingness to invest in pre‑development. • Timeline: Questions due Oct 28 2026; written responses due Nov 13 2026; optional meetings Dec 14‑18 2026; review Dec 11 2026; interview Dec 14 2026. • Target participants: equity investors, developers, lead contractors, and other private‑sector firms with interest in large‑scale civic infrastructure projects. • No award is guaranteed; the City may later issue RFQs/RFPs based on the insights gathered.
