Rice Creek Commons Solicitation – AMENDED February 29, 2016 Page 1 <br /> <br />SOL-TCAAP-2-2016 <br />Master Developer Solicitation <br />Rice Creek Commons – Responses to Questions - AMENDED <br /> <br />Answer to Question 13 is amended: <br />(Reason: Initial version stated an amendment to this question would be posted on 2/29/2016) <br />Q: What is required for stormwater management and wetland impact mitigation? The solicitation <br />documents provided indicate that some of the stormwater management is being handled within <br />the natural resources corridor but what will the selected developer be required to address? <br />A: County construction of the water resources corridor will meet Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) <br />requirements for rate and volume control for public infrastructure and will generally meet rate <br />control requirements for development sites with the exception of the need for the developer to <br />construct a few stormwater ponds outside the corridor (in the creek neighborhood and on the <br />southern portion of the site) as shown in the preliminary design report. In a few development areas <br />where infiltration has been deemed feasible, the developer will be required to meet volume control <br />requirements through implementation of on-site BMPs such as rain gardens, pervious pavements, <br />water reuse, etc. <br /> <br /> Details regarding requirements and responsibilities for stormwater/wetland mitigation can be found <br />in the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (CSMP) approved by the Rice Creek Watershed <br />District in 2015. The CSMP can be accessed from the RCC website under For Developers/Due <br />diligence documents/Resources/Documents/Infrastructure development documents. <br /> <br /> <br />Responses to Solicitation Questions: <br /> <br />Q: Wondering if Kimley Horn is eligible to team on the project due to their past and current work and <br />if the consultants for the Resiliency Framework can as well; Burns & McDonnell, Ever Green and <br />Fresh Energy. <br />A: Firms that have done work on the site whether for the City, County, Army or other entity or person <br />relating to the site are not excluded. Firms are required to comply with the Conflict of Interest <br />provision on page 21 of the solicitation. <br /> <br />Q: Does the TRC (TCAAP Redevelopment Code) include a floorplate limit for commercial or retail <br />buildings. <br />A: TRC does not include any specific limits on the floorplates for commercial or retail buildings. <br /> <br />Q: General question regarding the Rice Creek Commons Master Developer Solicitation. Could <br />changes in land use changes be made to the master plan? <br />A: The adoption of the Master Plan was intended to offer insight into the City and County’s vision for <br />the site and to provide an expedited approval process for those portions of the development that <br />meet the Master Plan guidelines. The City and JDA anticipate requests for variation from the Master <br />Plan. Changes to the Master Plan require City Council approval. The JDA process flowchart in the <br />Appendix of the Solicitation lays out processes for projects that meet or do not meet the Master Plan
