Board Selection The Board convenes publicly and selects a winning Proposal. Following contract award, the selected proposer shall enter into an Exclusive Negotiation Period with AHFC. Both parties shall diligently pursue contract negotiations within the Exclusive Negotiation Period with the intent of executing an agreement to develop the property prior to the end of the calendar year. AHFC recognizes that proposals submitted for this solicitation reflect tentative plans that may require additional negotiation, consideration, and adjustment before being finalized. However, terms proposed by each proposer such as number of affordable units or minimum ground lease payment among others shall generally be considered the minimum required terms under any future agreement entered into by AHFC and the selected proposer (i.e. minimum thresholds). These minimum thresholds may only be amended by mutual agreement of both the selected proposer and AHFC during the Exclusive Negotiation Period, and shall be amended as a result of new information learned not previously known prior to the close of this solicitation. |
