CITY OF HOBOKEN ADDENDUMTO RFP DOCUMENTS

RFP 20 – 04 – Request forQualifications

Professional Services – Affordable HousingDeveloper - Block 172 Lot 17 (72’x100’)

This Addendum # 1, dated September 9, 2020 isissued to modify the above mentioned RFP and is hereby made part of the RFPdocuments. Please attach this Addendum #1 to the original documents in yourpossession, and ensure same is included in your proposal.

A.      Questions and answer:

Q1. Is there a targeted amount of unitsthe City was thinking for this site?

A1. Yes, 25 units.

Q2. Would Hoboken be open to a mixed-income development on thesite?

I know the RFP says 100%affordable but I propose the question because of a multitude of factors:

·       The necessary density forfinancial and operational efficiency is at the minimum 40 units

·      In an effort to accommodate 40 units, the height will have to riseabove 4 stories given the small sizeof the lot, which then makes the project ineligible for 5 points on the QAP.

·      Given the highly competitive nature to win 9% tax credits, the need forperfect scoring projects have effectively become the standard. Losing 5 pointswould make the project unlikely to win.

A2. Yes, applicants are free to propose different developmentscenarios that would result in achievable project financing.

Q3. Can you please confirm that the City is not looking forproposals for a specific target population (i.e Family, Senior, Etc..)? Ifthere is a preference, can you please share?

A3. As stated in our RFP: “Although not required, the City willconsider proposals that serve special populations (e.g., seniors, families,formerly homeless individuals, supportive housing, veterans, etc.).” So thereis no preference, but the City certainly welcomes proposals with a specifictarget population.

B.      The City will not accept questions/RFIat this time. Submission deadline remains the same on September 22, 2020 at3:00 pm prevailing time.

This addendum will be publish inthe newspaper and posted on the City of Hoboken website to ensure compliance.

There are noother changes to the RFP documents as part of this addendum.
