To . determine the best offer, the Agency initiated a process of developing a RFP. An element of the consultant' s work program was to conduct a market assessment. Because the real estate market has been soft, initial market assessments required a significantly more in-depth market analysis. The subsequent market analysis indicated that there was sufficient strength in the local real estate market to warrant marketing the property with specified conditions . Among the conditions suggested was a Request for Qualifications, prior to requesting developer proposals. The additional $16, 800 associated with this First Amendment to Contract will significantly improve the Agency' s ability to specify development criteria, assess developer capacity, and choose a developer and project concept that will be economically viable.
