RFP20230303 - RFP20230303 Construction Management/General Contractor Services

A. Background
The Housing Authority of the City of Aurora (AHA) is distributing this request for qualifications (RFQ) for the solicitation of proposals
from qualified firms to provide construction management and general contracting services for the renovation and expansion of the
existing 68 Units at Willow Park Apartments.
AHA was established in 1975 and owns and manages over 800 units at ten sites throughout the City of Aurora. The mission of the
Housing Authority is to develop and promote quality housing while supporting and encouraging economic opportunities leading to
self-sufficiency and independence.
B. Site and Program
The 68 apartments at Willow Park were built in 1980 and had limited renovations in 2002. The Aurora Housing Authority (AHA) plans
to renovate 64 of the 68 units and demolish and replace 4 nonconforming ADA units with a new building that includes 6 fullyaccessible
units (4 two-bdrm/2 three-bdrm), 14 non-ADA units (8 two-bdrm and 6 three-bdrm), a clubhouse for residents, and staff
offices. There is currently no clubhouse or community gathering space at Willow Park.
AHA will apply to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) for Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) by mid-May 2023.
This application process is noncompetitive and AHA fully expects to be awarded the requested LIHTC. Other sources of funding are
pending but AHA fully expects to receive funding for this project by Fall 2023. There are current and anticipated multiple sources of
federal funding (HUD) therefore Davis Bacon and Section 3 will be included in this project.
