General contractors are encouraged to visit OPAL Community Land Trust’s web page (www.opalclt.org/news) so they may submit a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for OPAL’s next new construction project.
It will include new construction and associated site work for 30 units of mixed income rental housing consisting of seven residential buildings and one commons building. There are four building types. Units will range from 384 square feet to 1274 square feet and 15 will be ADA accessible. The largest units will be three bedrooms. The 3.7-acre site is located across from Children’s House on North Beach Road.
“We are making steady progress on these residences,” says Jeanne Beck, OPAL’s project manager. “This is the phase where not much activity is taking place at the site, so it is not obvious to the community. It’s time for a general contractor to be selected, and I encourage any qualified contractor to submit an application. The RFQ document at opalclt.org/news will provide an overview, a timeline, selection criteria and more.”
The RFQ is posted at www.opalclt.org/news or call OPAL Community Land Trust at 360-376-3191. OPAL Community Land Trust is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer.
