Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City Kansas (UG) is seeking to facilitate the redevelopment of three (3) county-owned properties. To this end, the UG is seeking responses from this Sub Consultants/Contractors Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for firms who may be interested in providing ancillary services—those that would support the eventual development of any of the sites—to a lead developer. Examples of services that could be provided by sub contractors/consultants include, but are in no way limited to, architecture, engineering, accounting, legal, cost estimating, brokerage, non-profit partners, community engagement specialists, and others. The three (3) chosen areas are distinctly unique in size, location, and the types and scale of development that could be achieved. A large parcel—formerly the Indian Springs Mall—offers opportunities for the potential of a new, mixed use development. The Triangle parcel location could become a defining gateway of dense, urban development at one of the main entrances to downtown Kansas City, Kansas. And finally, the 18th Street & Quindaro Boulevard site offers needed housing, and commercial infill regeneration—specifically a grocery store—in a residential neighborhood with a rich history and active community. All projects will include a public engagement component that will ultimately inform the uses, density, amenities, infrastructure investments, and generally the overall urban design of each site and its restorative relationship with the natural site, its historic context, and the existing community.
