Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this Request for Development Proposal (the “RFDP”) is to provide interested developer(s) and/or real estate professional(s) (collectively, “Developers”, and in the singular, a “Developer”) with information to enable them to prepare and submit a proposal for the purchase and development of a Site located within the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, (the “Site”) and to enable the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny RAAC (“RAAC”) to select a qualified and experienced Developer or Developers to purchase and develop the Site. The Shuman Juvenile Detention Center opened in December 1974. Designed to house up to 120 residents, the facility and its staff provided services to juveniles in their custody, including education (provided by Allegheny Intermediate Unit), health services, social services, religious services, and recreation. The County ceased housing juveniles at the Shuman Center in September 2021, however, has maintained the utilities and mechanical systems in the building. A strong preference will be given to a developer/operator who intends to redevelop the site for the continued operation of a juvenile detention facility.
