RFP: Brownfields Site Visualizations and Redevelopment Roadmaps

The Great Falls Development Authority, Inc. (GFDA) seeks proposals from experienced firms to assist us in selecting at least five (5) brownfields sites suitable for impactful redevelopment, put together redevelopment visualizations and redevelopment roadmaps for these sites, and produce marketing packages for these sites that GFDA can use to attract businesses or developers. The goal of this project is to demonstrate market-driven, financially feasible redevelopment concepts for at least five (5) sites in Cascade County that we can use to attract private investment in impactful redevelopment. In particular, we are interested in visualizations and roadmaps for redevelopments that would attract private investors to produce market-rate housing, a conference hotel, and an events center, and other uses of vacant spaces or parking lots – properties that have been hindered by potential contamination. Hazardous materials brownfields phase 1 and phase 2 assessments ARE NOT PART OF THE SCOPE OF THIS RFP. We have already selected several qualified environmental professional firms to provide assessments. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM MST on Friday, March 21, 2025.
