DPD RFPs and RFQs
Department of Planning and Development
Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Requests for Qualifications (RFQs)
The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) uses multiple tools to encourage the development of potential opportunity sites across the city. Requests for Proposals (RFPs) encourage developer teams to pitch ideas for these sites that are then reviewed by DPD and released for public input.
Through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), the City prequalifies a limited number of developers and architects based on their financial capacity, relevant experience and demonstrated ability to complete a development of similar scale and scope. Shortlisted respondents will be invited to form developer-design teams to present themselves to the community and, upon selection, to create a vision of the site and a near-term plan to execute vertical development.
An archive of past RFP and RFQ material issued by DPD is available for review online.
Roseland-Michigan RFQ
Through three separate RFQs, DPD is seeking to revitalize a trio of underutilized sites along South Michigan Avenue. The sites include the former Gatelys Peoples Store, the Roseland Theater building and land adjacent to a planned CTA Red Line station.
