Peekskill council authorizes RFQ process for on-call affordable-housing consultant
Summary
Council voted to issue a request for qualifications to retain an on-call affordable-housing consultant to advise on state programs, financing, payment-in-lieu proposals and project-level analysis; staff says the contract will be broader than the prior Housing Action Council engagement.
The Peekskill Common Council voted unanimously on Aug. 17 to authorize staff to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) to retain an on-call affordable-housing consultant. The consultant will advise the city on state programs, financing options and payment-in-lieu arrangements and provide project-level analyses for planning and entitlement work.
Carol Samuel, the staff presenter introduced by the city manager, said the city previously had a contract with a housing-action group that expired and that the new RFQ is intended to be broader. "We would like to issue a request for qualifications, for an affordable housing and a housing consultant," Samuel said. She told councilors the contract is expected to support roughly "3 to 7 projects" a year and that the RFQ will include modest local-preference language and options for developer-paid, project-specific work. The resolution directing the RFQ passed as Resolution J-10.
