RFP 12-677T
BARON’S SOUTH PROJECT
The Town of Westport is requesting proposals from interested development partners to plan, design, construct, manage and operate the first phase of an anticipated two phased Senior Residential Community on property known as Baron’s South. The first phase requires the construction of an independent living facility (ILF) which this RFP addresses. The second phase would be the anticipated development of a full care living facility (FCLF) at a future date.
With phase one joining the Westport Center for Senior Activities (WCSA), the Town will move closer to achieving the following core objectives for the Senior Residential Community:
Provide opportunities for the community’s seniors to live with the maximum level of independence, thereby allowing residents to age in place and offering residents who require little or no care the opportunity to live alongside residents who may require increasing levels of care.
Address a community need to increase the available inventory of below market rate housing and enhance the types of housing choices offered to Westport seniors.
Phase 1
The Town requests proposals for the construction of a multi-unit senior housing development (ILF) built in close proximity to the WCSA incorporating universal design so that residents may comfortably age in place. Residents must have access to optional health related and supportive services including health and wellness services, personal care, home care, housekeeping, social activities and transportation. Access to these services would be through a part or full time coordinator with an office within the complex. The coordinator will be expected to act as a resource for residents and to collaborate and liaison with providers, the Town’s Department of Human Services and WCSA.
The development is expected to consist of up to one hundred one and two bedroom rental units, the majority of which would be affordable under Statute 8-30g. Proposals must include a community gathering space, including a kitchen similar to those in local houses of worship suitable either initially or at a future time for meal preparation and service.
Preference will be given to proposals that provide for the care and maintenance of the remaining minimally developed acreage of Baron’s South in a manner consistent with a passive public recreation area.
The Town expects that preferences for access to the Senior Residential Community will be given to residents of the Town to the extent allowed by law.
Phase 2
Phase 2 would address the third core objective for the Senior Residential Community: Meet a growing community need for skilled nursing beds for short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, including advanced dementia and hospice care.
This RFP does not address Phase 2. However interested parties are invited to include their vision of the second phase, a full care living facility (FCLF) which would offer long-term care and short-term rehabilitation services. The small house model should be considered.
Financial
The Senior Residential Community should be planned, designed, constructed, managed and operated without financial contribution from the Town. All funding is the sole responsibility of the successful bidder(s). The Town will provide use of the land but anticipates retaining ownership of the land and entering into a long term ground lease or similar arrangement with the developer, manager or operator of the Senior Residential Community.
Proposals must provide for a revenue stream and/or an initial capital payment to the Town. Preference will be given to proposals that indicate the highest and most dependable revenue stream and/or initial capital payment while satisfying the Core Objectives.
