RFP 20273,3 Page 3

OVERVIEW

2.1 Hillsborough County and its various public and private community partners propose the

creation of an urban innovation community (the “Uptown Innovation District”) within the

greater University of South Florida area of influence, certain sub-areas of which are

designated as Federal Opportunity Zone areas, in northern Hillsborough County. Located

at the eastern end of the Uptown Innovation District, the County-owned MOSI property

offers a significant opportunity for the success of the District. The property’s close

proximity to the University of South Florida (USF), VA hospital and other large medical

facilities, research parks and transportation routes holds valuable development potential.

2.2 There are a number of stakeholders who have vested interests in the success of the

Uptown Innovation District. The Parties understand they must work together and with

residents, business owners, workers, and visitors guided by a set of Core Values and

Guiding Principles, which will facilitate the process of establishing the Uptown Innovation

District. Such Core Values and Guiding Principles may include, but not be limited to, the

following:

a. Sustainable economic value and funding sources;

b. Environmentally resilient planning, design and construction principles;

c. An open entrepreneurial community;

d. Direct access to educated talent and university resources;

e. Diverse employment environment;

f. Community engagement that is inclusionary and diverse;

g. Mixed use, mixed income development that discourages displacement of

current residents and businesses, and emphasizes affordable low income and

workforce housing options;

h. Lifestyle amenities;

i. Walkable, bike-able, car-optional community; and

j. Transit-effective and transit-friendly.

2.3 The MOSI complex has been operational since 1981. The existing facilities, on a portion

of the site, includes five (5) buildings of various sizes and ages, with a total building area

of 423,000 sq ft. Currently, three (3) buildings are occupied by MOSI, Institute for

Business and Home Safety (IBHS), Head Start and the County for an emergency

warehouse, leaving approximately 364,000 sq ft (including an IMAX Theater) largely

unoccupied and available for either adaptive reuse or demolition.

2.3.1 The Master Developer shall support the ongoing and future operations of MOSI

and IBHS on site. MOSI does not pay rent on the facilities or the grounds. The

County owns the property and buildings. They currently are responsible for the

operations and maintenance costs within their facilities and the County essentially

RFP 20273,3 Page 4

is responsible for any major capital requirements. MOSI also receives revenue

from IBHS for leasing space in a facility and the Renaissance Festival, who operate

an annual festival on the undeveloped portion of the property. The Festival lease

is structured year to year. Operations & Maintenance Agreement is attached

along with lease agreements with IBHS and Renaissance Festival.

2.3.2 The County intends to relocate the Head Start facility and emergency warehouse

operations, which are currently on site.

2.3.3 The County intends to establish future transit on this site and along Fowler

Avenue. Coordination with Planning Commission, MPO and FDOT will be

necessary to ensure the redevelopment does not preclude the ability to support

future transit. Hillsborough County real estate staff is working with CSX

Transportation to secure formal releases of certain abandoned railroad

easements and platted railroad interests affecting the MOSI Property. The form of

releases may include an acknowledgement regarding future use of the properties

in a form substantially similar to the following: Grantee acknowledges that the

Premises were historically used for railroad and industrial purposes. Industrial

and railroad use property may not be compatible with residential or other uses

and prospective and/or subsequent buyers are hereby placed on notice that use

of the subject property for any non-industrial use may require the implementation

of remedial actions to ensure the protection of human health and the

environment. Additionally, any development should preserve the CSX easement

for the possibility of a corridor for urban rail.

2.3.4 More information regarding the property is included in Attachment B.

2.4 The BOCC has a Vision for the property that uses its redevelopment as a catalyst for

change within the larger Innovation District. Ideally, the Project would include:

2.4.1 An innovative and inclusive mixed-use development focused on sustainable

design, healthy living, and leverages smart city technology while incorporating

private, commercial, and retail uses with civic spaces that are thoughtfully

designed.

2.4.2 A development pattern that is dense, integrating mixed uses and driving change

by introducing desired targeted industries and economic drivers to the mix such

as biosciences, life sciences, cyber security and other advanced industries.

2.4.3 A true urban mixed-use project that embraces transit and other forms of

sustainable mobility both within the development but also externally to the

District and the larger region.

RFP 20273,3 Page 5

2.4.4 Any housing should address a mixed income housing component to assist with the

County’s shortage of affordable housing.

2.4.5 The Master Developer shall consider other potential uses such as a film studio,

and seek-out synergies with other institutional drivers in the Innovation District

that have needs for expansion, such as H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center.

2.5 The County intends to select a Master Developer for the Project. The Master Developer

will be responsible for creating an overall development plan that is consistent with the

County’s Vision for the site and consistent with the City of Tampa’s comprehensive plan.

Contracting with a Master Developer will allow the County to work with one development

partner in the eventual buildout and management of the entire site, while achieving the

stated vision.

2.6 The property is located within the City of Tampa and therefore subject to the City’s

development regulations including comprehensive plan land use designations, zoning and

permitting.

2.7 The selected Respondent must be willing and able to enter into a contract with the County

and must be prepared to commence and complete the work in accordance with the

County’s proposed schedule shown in Attachment C.

ranked respondent. The negotiated agreement shall be referred to the Board for

consideration.

18.1 Respondent is advised that by submitting a Proposal, Respondent hereby agrees to

comply with the County’s Procurement Policy and Procedures, including, but not limited

to, the County’s policy and procedures regarding Bid Protests and Hillsborough County

Ordinance No. 13-24. The County’s Procurement Policy and Procedures can be found on

the County’s website at: http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/procurementmanual

18.2 CONE OF SILENCE: Pursuant to Hillsborough County Ordinance No. 13-24, there shall be

a Cone of Silence for all procurement solicitations issued by the County in order to

safeguard the integrity of the County’s procurement and protest process. The Cone of

Silence shall go into effect on the date a procurement solicitation is issued by the County

and shall end on the date the contract is awarded by the County or the date the

procurement solicitation is canceled by the County.

RFP 20273,3 Page 18

Unless otherwise provided for in Hillsborough County Ordinance No. 13-24, during the

time period the Cone of Silence is in effect, no Respondent, interested party and/or their

principals, officers, employees, attorneys or agents shall communicate with County

employees, the Hearing Master assigned to hear the applicable protest appeal and/or

members of the Board of County Commissioners, including their aides and employees

regarding a procurement solicitation and/or its related protest. The Cone of Silence does

not prohibit a Respondent from communicating with the Director of the County

Department issuing the procurement solicitation, County staff listed as contacts in the

procurement solicitation, or the attorney in the County Attorney’s office that is directly

responsible for the applicable procurement solicitation (this information can be obtained

by contacting the County staff person listed as the contact in the applicable procurement

solicitation). A violation of the Cone of Silence will result in the disqualification of the

Respondent from consideration in the award of the procurement solicitation unless it is

determined that the violation is unintentional and/or not material.

in possession of the Respondent or keep and maintain public records required by the

RESPONDENT MUST HAVE LEGALLY AUTHORIZED WORKFORCE

21.1 Respondent is advised that the County has entered into an agreement (the IMAGE

Agreement) with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wherein the County

will, in part, seek to promote the principles of ethical business conduct, prevent knowingly

hiring unauthorized workers through self-governance, and encourage voluntary reporting

of the discovery of unauthorized workers to ICE. Accordingly, by submitting its Offer,

Respondent represents and warrants:

a. That Respondent is in compliance with all applicable Federal, State and local laws,

including, but not limited to, the laws related to the requirement of an employer to

verify an employee's eligibility to work in the United States,

b. That all of Respondent's employees are legally eligible to work in the United States,

and

c. That the Respondent has actively and affirmatively verified such eligibility utilizing the

Federal Government's Employment Eligibility Verification Form (the Form I-9).

RFP 20273,3 Page 21

21.2 A mere allegation of Respondent's intent to use and/or current use of unauthorized

workers may not be a basis to delay the County's award of a Contract to the Respondent

unless such an allegation has been determined to be factual by ICE prior to the date the

Contract is scheduled to be awarded by the County.

21.3 Legitimate claims of the Respondent's use of unauthorized workers must be reported to

both of the following agencies: The County's Compliance Services hotline at (813) 272-

6554; and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-

2423).

21.4 In the event it is discovered that the Respondent's employees are not legally eligible to

work in the United States, then the County may, in its sole discretion, demand that the

Respondent cure this deficiency within a specified time frame, and/or immediately

terminate the Contract without any cost or penalty to the County, and/or debar the

Respondent from proposing on all County contracts for a period of up to 24 months,

and/or take any and all legal action deemed necessary and appropriate.

21.5 Respondent is required to incorporate the following IMAGE Best Practices into its

business and, when practicable, incorporate verification requirements into its

agreements with Subconsultants:

a. Use the Department of Homeland Security employment eligibility verification

program (E-Verify) to verify the employment eligibility of all new hires.

correct and verify the names and Social Security numbers of the current workforce.

Establish a written hiring and employment eligibility verification policy.

c. Establish an internal compliance and training program related to the hiring and

employment verification process, to include, but not be limited to, completion of

Form I-9, how to detect fraudulent use of documents in the verification process, and

how to use E-Verify and the Social Security Number Verification Service.

d. Require the Form I-9 and E-Verify process to be conducted only by individuals who

have received appropriate training and include a secondary review as part of each

employee's verification to minimize the potential for a single individual to subvert the

process.

e. Arrange for annual Form I-9 audits by an external auditing firm or a trained employee

not otherwise involved in the Form I-9 process.

RFP 20273,3 Page 22

f. Establish a procedure to report to ICE credible information of suspected criminal

misconduct in the employment eligibility verification process.

g. Establish a program to assess subconsultants' compliance with employment eligibility

verification requirements. Encourage Respondents to incorporate the IMAGE Best

Practices contained in this paragraph

h. Establish a protocol for responding to letters received from Federal and State

government agencies indicating that there is a discrepancy between the agency's

information and the information provided by the employer or employee; for example,

"no match" letters received from the Social Security Administration.

i. Establish a tip line mechanism (inbox, e-mail, etc.) for employees to report activity

relating to the employment of unauthorized workers, and a protocol for responding

to employee tips.

j. Establish and maintain appropriate policies, practices, and safeguards against use of

the verification process for unlawful discrimination, and to ensure that U.S. citizens

and authorized workers do not face discrimination with respect to hiring, firing,

recruitment, or referral for a fee because of citizenship status or national origin.

k. Maintain copies of any documents accepted as proof of identity and/or employment

authorization for all new hires.
