The County of Placer has launched a request for qualifications (RFQ) from interested companies to develop a mix of facilities and infrastructure at the Placer County Government Center (PCGC) in North Auburn, California.

The County seeks a master developer capable of facilitating a potential long-term public-private partnership arrangement with the County for the design, building, financing, operation and maintenance of potential government buildings and privately owned and operated projects as envisioned in the Draft Placer County Government Center Master Plan Update (Master Plan). Privately owned facility concepts include a potential mix of workforce/affordable and market-rate multifamily housing, commercial space, public market, community/events center and hotel. The project may include associated roadway and infrastructure, including possible utility improvements as indicated in the Master Plan. 

The master developer is envisioned to provide integration of technical, economic and contractual expertise across asset and market classes for public and private sectors. The County may potentially enter into an agreement with a single developer team, but if there is expertise specific to either private or public projects, the County may possibly consider separate developers for the two sector types. Team configurations for equity, construction, design, legal, finance, management and operations can vary and will be up to the individual team to provide their proposed best approach.

The deadline for the submission of tender documents is on April 30, 2019.
