Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Bloomington seeks a Request for Quote from qualified Sustainability Consultants for the re-development of Hopewell, a new mixed-use neighborhood targeting development of 1000+ housing units that will increase affordability, showcase design excellence, and create a sustainable neighborhood to serve all. The overall 24-acre Hopewell Neighborhood, the location of the former Bloomington Hospital, was acquired by the City in 2018 to address critical citywide housing needs. From the start of his service in 2016, Mayor Hamilton and his administration have focused on Bloomington’s significant affordable housing challenges and the need to address sustainability and design excellence. The Hopewell Neighborhood offers a crucial opportunity to significantly expand Bloomington’s housing supply with quality, diverse, and mixed-income units while also exemplifying new neighborhood development and connectivity for Bloomington. To date, the Bloomington Redevelopment Commission has committed $30M in TIF funding to support the property purchase and initial infrastructure projects. Our project vision: Bloomington must diversify and expand opportunities for all. Hopewell should be an inclusive neighborhood where people from all walks of life, ages, incomes, abilities, and backgrounds can thrive. Bloomington must create sustainable neighborhoods to advance toward a zero-carbon future. Hopewell should exhibit best practices in sustainable redevelopment as a blueprint for a more equitable, livable, and resilient Bloomington. Bloomington must continue to be a place of beauty and excellent design for all. Hopewell should be an inspiring neighborhood of excellent design and public and private amenities.
