The Property Redevelopment Committee of St. John's | San Juan Episcopal Church has created a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select a qualified consultant to lead the church in a study of property redevelopment options for the church’s property in Olympia, Washington. We hope to identify an experienced and proven development consultant to guide us in this process, which we anticipate will include significant dialogue with government and community stakeholders. We expect the final work product to be a comprehensive report addressing development approaches, partnership opportunities, public Essential Outcomes 1) Evaluate the costs, benefits, and risks of alternative options for mixed use development, with consideration for construction costs, zoning, ADA access, environmental constraints, historic preservation, and neighborhood impacts. 2) Identify potential redevelopment partners in the areas of affordable housing, early childhood care, or community service, combined with a review and analysis of potential funding instruments and opportunities. 3) Identify and chronologically outline key steps and milestones in the redevelopment process, with a view to creating direct engagement opportunities for our congregation and community stakeholders. 4) Develop a close, collaborative working relationship with representatives of the church’s Property Redevelopment Committee and Vestry (board of directors), as well as with residents of the South Capitol Neighborhood, the City of Olympia, and other critical government and community stakeholders, so as to assess suitability of site redevelopment and additional uses. 5) A final report by October 1, 2022.
