62nd St - Rolling RFP

The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URA) is seeking developers and/or development teams to submit a proposal for the purchase and redevelopment of 6111 Butler St, a 14.21-acre brownfield site located in the Upper Lawrenceville Neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh. The goal of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to select a Developer presenting a response that optimizes for Lawrenceville neighborhood planning goals, building density, job creation, ecological design, green facility operations, and/or incorporates the relocation of the Lawrenceville neighborhood’s heavy industry and warehouses from residentially intensive areas to this site in effort to reduce truck traffic in the commercial district. Key aspects of the project include: • The site is zoned RIV-GI (Riverfront General Industrial Subdistrict) and has undergone significant remediation and site preparation. • The URA encourages innovative and creative responses to this RFP, and the selected Developer will be required to comply with the URA’s Disposition Process. • The URA requires that all respondents demonstrate a good faith effort to obtain minority and women-owned business participation in work performed in connection with URA initiatives. • The URA also requires that all respondents demonstrate and document a good faith effort to meet or exceed the City’s 12% minority workforce inclusion goal for all URA projects with total project costs of $500,000 or more.
