FQ Addendum:
This addendum relates to Section VI Selection Criteria and Process of the RFQ released on June 29, 2011.  Due to the high volume of calls related to process outlined in the original document please note the following changes:

Selection Process
A short-list of selected candidates from the submittals of Statement of Qualifications will be invited on July 15, 2011 to participate in a Request for Proposal (RFP) with specific development vision for the sites.  We are looking for candidates who are experienced developers and can serve as our subject-matter experts as we move through this process.  Therefore we will not shorten the time allowed to respond to the RFQ. RFP-selected teams will be invited to make a presentation of their development ideas and intent as well as possible options for the financial structure of the project.  It is not the intention of the University to request Developers to provide a fully articulated financial arrangement or plan at that time, but rather a reasonable outline of intent and feasibility for FSU to consider.  Upon review of qualifications and proposals and completion of interviews, the University and FSUDC intends to select a qualified developer for this project and enter into negotiation for the handoff of the selected parcels by means of a long-term ground lease or a short-term ground lease with option to purchase or a purchase contract under terms and conditions to be released at that time.

The Fayetteville State University Development Corporation (FSUDC) in Fayetteville, North Carolina invites developers to submit Qualifications to develop a privately financed, designed, built and marketed mixed-use development to be located on Washington Drive in close proximity to the Fayetteville State University (FSU) campus.
