Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City and UMD intend to redevelop a key block in downtown College Park to include a Class-A City Hall and University office building totaling approximately 85,000 SF with a connecting atrium, first floor retail, and a prominent public plaza (“Project”). A Project site map is attached as Exhibit A to this RFP. Redgate Real Estate Advisors, LLC has been engaged as the “Project Manager” to assist on this Project. The majority of the parking needs for the Project will be met in an adjoining parking garage owned by the City, however there will be some convenience parking on this site. The focus of the Project is to redevelop a prominent location with Baltimore Avenue frontage, as well as to demonstrate the cooperation and shared vision of the City and UMD for an improved college-city environment. A survey of the City Hall property and preliminary conceptual design of the Project has been prepared, as well as an analysis of the spatial needs of the City Hall building. These documents represent a starting point for the Project design, and will be further developed. The vision for College Park City Hall is a Class-A office building that is designed to meet the needs of its specialized public functions. These include: • Building lobby with service windows and information counter • City Council chambers with private conference room, state of the art audio-visual equipment, cable television recording studio, dais for nine members, staff area and public seating • City Department offices • Public meeting and conference rooms • Storage and shower facilities. The design and materials for the building should reflect civic architecture that enhances the City’s image and creates a prominent public building in a central downtown location. The adjoining Class-A office space to be owned and operated by UMD will be connected to City Hall and must be compatible with the City Hall building. The ground floor of this office space (all or part) is anticipated to be retail space. A public plaza or town green shall occupy the Baltimore Avenue frontage and be designed to include: • Programmable space • Seating and other street furniture • Landscaping • Public art
