Request For Qualifications 1801 Vine Street & 1901 Wood Street

I. OVERVIEW

PIDC, on behalf of the City and PAID, is pleased to offer this exciting RFQ opportunity for parties interested in redeveloping the architecturally and historically- significant building formerly known as The Judge Nicholas A. Cipriani (“Family Court Building”) and the approximately 88,300 SF lot at 1901 Wood Street (together known as “Property”). The Property, in a highly visible location along and just behind the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, provides a rare opportunity to revitalize an important historic building and to create a unique, new development along Philadelphia’s most prominent thoroughfare.

The 1801 Vine Street portion of the Property is improved by a 247,196 square-foot building which previously housed the operations of the Family Division of the Court of Common Pleas of the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania. The Family Division was relocated to a new facility at 15th & Arch in 2014. The 1901 Wood Street lot was previously held for an expansion of the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Parkway Central Library (PCL). Although the larger development plans have been discontinued, inclusion of PCL’s plan for a 60,000 SF Children and Family Center, Auditorium, storage and relocation of administrative office space (“Library Expansion”) will be required in the development of the Property.

The City’s and PIDC’s primary objective in issuing this solicitation is to select a diverse, experienced, capable and qualified development team that will ultimately plan and implement a dynamic commercial development that significantly enhances and complements the existing cultural, commercial and residential developments along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and to maximize the value of the Property for the City. Of significance will be the development team’s ownership structure and programmatic considerations. Specific commitments to and direct representation of diversity, equity and inclusion at all phases and levels of any proposed development project will carry significance in the evaluation of responses. The City has no preferred development program; however, the selected development team will be required to include PCL’s new Library Expansion plans.

This process will be contingent upon, among other things, an Ordinance approved by the City Council and Mayor of the City of Philadelphia authorizing the conveyance of this city-owned property to PAID, for further conveyance to the selected developer. Transfer of an interest in the Property will occur through a fee simple conveyance with appropriate covenants, controls and restrictions necessary to protect the City’s interest in the Property.

4 Request For Qualifications 1801 Vine Street & 1901 Wood Street

PIDC has structured the solicitation for the Property as a two-step process, beginning with an RFQ to establish a shortlist of interested, capable, and qualified developers for the Property. Shortlisted firms will then be invited to participate in a Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The RFP will provide for a due diligence period to allow the selected developers to prepare and finalize a program and design plans. A selection committee comprised of PIDC and various stakeholders, will evaluate the proposals based on proposed development, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and preservation of historically-significant features, fixtures, and objects; as well as other pertinent criteria. PAID will then enter into an Agreement with the selected finalist.

II. CONTEXT

The following information provides contextual information relevant to the property.

A. Benjamin Franklin Parkway

The Property is in the Logan Square neighborhood of Center City, Philadelphia, along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Conceived as early as 1871, and opening in 1929, the Parkway is a signature public investment that is home to many of the city’s most prominent cultural institutions and visitor destinations. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway is anchored to the east by John F. Kennedy Plaza, also known as LOVE Park, in honor of the famous LOVE statue designed by Robert Indiana, and to the west by the world-renowned Philadelphia Museum of Art. The other top cultural destinations located along the Parkway include: the Swann Memorial Fountain, the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul on Logan Square, the Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Free Library of Philadelphia, numerous pieces of public art, and the Rodin Museum, home of Rodin’s, The Thinker. Photo by G. Widman for GPTMC Since the turn of the century, the most notable addition to the Parkway is the relocation of The Barnes Foundation (“Barnes”), a private and legendary art collection featuring one of the finest collections of post-impressionist and early-modern paintings in the world. Although in- person patronage declined across arts institutions nationwide in 2020 due to restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2019, Barnes welcomed more than a quarter million visitors.1

5 Request For Qualifications 1801 Vine Street & 1901 Wood Street

In recent years, the Parkway has undergone substantial investment and transformation, with improved streetscape, pedestrian access, and additional amenities that serve Philadelphia and visitors, alike. Sidewalk upgrades, new benches, bicycle lanes, landscaping, café and playground equipment at Sisters Cities Plaza, and landscaping and new lighting around the Rodin Museum enhance the aesthetic of one of the nation’s most prominent arts and culture hubs.

In addition, the City is proceeding with plans to redesign the Eakins Oval, expanding on recent pedestrian-friendly enhancements along the Parkway to create additional social and civic space programming between the Art Museum and Logan Circle. The redesign is also planned to further improve bicycle and pedestrian access to support greater interaction and connectivity among the Parkway’s many iconic civic attractions.

B. Center City, Philadelphia

Amidst the pandemic and its resulting consequences, Greater Center City remains the most concentrated employment base in the Philadelphia region. Center City still serves as the regional employment anchor, providing home to 42% of Philadelphia’s jobs2. Center City also boasts the highest concentrations of high-paying jobs in the city, serving as host to approximately three-fourths of the information and finance and professional and business services jobs. While those industries are often held by employees holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, two-thirds of the jobs located downtown do not require a bachelor’s degree3.

While many industries, locally and nationwide, suffered sharp economic downturn as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and into 2021, the Philadelphia region is poised to rebound over the coming years. Gradual monthly increases of employment payroll along

with sharper increases in transit ridership, pedestrian traffic and air travel in the first quarter of 2021, suggest the first stage of recovery is underway as rates of vaccination rise4.

The vibrant, walkable, and amenity-rich Center City section of Philadelphia is the third largest residential downtown in the United States. The eight ZIP Codes that make up the neighborhoods of Greater Center City, between Girard Avenue and Tasker Street, are home to 190,000 people with 34% of its residents between the ages of 25 and 34. Additionally, two-thirds of Greater Center City residents possess a bachelor’s degree with median income in excess of $88,000 in 20205.

In 2019, Greater Center City hosted 400,000-500,000 people, daily, to meet the $2.9 billion in retail, food and beverage demand, including the Reading Terminal Market, the historic Philadelphia marketplace6. In 2019, Center City offered just under 12,800 hotel rooms within walking distance or short transit of the Property. While the pandemic assisted in the loss of almost 3,000 hotel rooms in 2020, with several hotel developments currently under construction and proposed, by the end of 2021, supply is expected to exceed 2019 levels at more than 14,000 hotel rooms in Center City7.

Center City is located just minutes from Philadelphia International Airport (“Airport”) and Amtrak’s William H. Gray III 30th Street Station (“30th Street Station”), at the heart of the Northeast Corridor. Philadelphia is within a two-hour flight of fifty percent of the U.S. population and the Airport offers an average of 357 daily, nonstop flights to 130 cities, including 101 domestic and 29 international destinations8. The 30th Street Station is a national transportation landmark and the third busiest rail station in the country, with daily high-speed trains to New York, DC and Boston. This accessibility has helped make Center City Philadelphia a top meetings, convention, and tourism destination.

The Property is directly adjacent to the Spring Garden neighborhood, a vital community with a diverse population of residents and many locally-owned small businesses. The Logan Square Neighborhood Association is an active and well-organized community group whose boundaries include the Property and surrounding sites.

C. Pennsylvania Convention Center

The Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC), a six-block structure located seven blocks east of the Property, is the city’s hospitality economic engine. The PCC hosts more than one million visitors a year. A $786 million expansion to increase the size of the PCC by 60% was completed in 2011. Its location also leads to East Market’s retail corridor, The Fashion District, to the south and Philadelphia’s Historic District, featuring Independence Mall, National Constitution Center, the African American Museum of Philadelphia, etc. to the east.

III. PROPERTY INFORMATION

A. Background

The Property’s Building is bordered by 18th Street to the east, 19th Street to the west, Vine Street to the south, and Wood Street to the north, while its Lot is bordered by 19th Street to the east, 20th Street to the west, Wood Street to the south and Callowhill Street to the north. Please consult Appendix B for an aerial image of the Property that includes the existing former Family Court Building and Parkway Central Library Lot.

The Property is improved by the Family Court Building, a 247,196 square foot building with three stories, two intermediate floors, a basement and a mechanical penthouse with a small amount of office space. The Family Court Building, which was originally called the Municipal Court Building, was designed by Philadelphia architect John Torrey Windrim. The Family Court Building was constructed with funds from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and completed in 1941.

The Family Court Building previously housed the operations of the Family Division of the Court of Common Pleas of the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania. The Family Division relocated from the Family Court Building to a new facility located at 15th & Arch Streets in 2014.

8 Request For Qualifications 1801 Vine Street & 1901 Wood Street

The Family Court Building and The Free Library of Philadelphia’s Parkway Central Library (PCL)—completed in 1927—are situated just to the north of Vine Street, with 19th Street separating the pair. They are identical buildings, built in the same manner as their counterparts in France, and act as the northern boundary of Logan Square. The two structures are extremely fine copies of the palace buildings of La in Paris, the work of Jacques-Ange Gabriel in honor of Louis XV. No other city in the United States has ever accomplished what Philadelphia did in the early 20th century – that is, construct a palace complex that is a literal copy of a European model on a grand Boulevard.

The Property also includes the approximately 88,300 SF Lot on the north side of Wood Street, which is currently part of the PCL site at 1901 Wood Street. The Lot will ultimately need to be subdivided from the improved portion that holds PCL before it can be developed.

The Lot was to be developed to include the Free Library’s Children and Family Center (CFC) and Auditorium, along with a new home for its administrative and storage space needs totaling 60,000 SF. Development of the Lot will require inclusion of the Library Expansion plans, summarized as follows:

• 15,000 SF – Children and Family Center (CFC). Ground-floor location is required. • 10,000 SF – Auditorium. • 20,000 SF – Administrative Staff, including Materials Management (serves all neighborhood libraries) and four other departments. • 7,500 SF – Currently annexed Property Management & Strategic Initiative Staff and bookstore. • 7,500 SF – Garage/storage space for mechanical and grounds maintenance equipment. • Parking to accommodate staff - 50 spaces.

The Library’s expansion space can be designed as contiguous to include the CFC and storage space on the ground floor with other parts of the program accommodated on lower or upper levels.

The Library is also open to a plan that provides a more efficient program meeting the operational needs of its departments.

Currently, Wood Street, between 19th and 20th Streets, is a private, east-west passthrough that serves the Library’s three loading docks for deliveries and pickups and its ADA access entrance ramp. If access to both can be accommodated in development proposals, Wood Street would not need to remain a passthrough accessway.

Please consult Appendix I to see the Library’s Lot (approx. 88,300 SF) and Expansion documents.

Title 14. Zoning and Planning: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/philadelphia/latest/philadelphia_pa/0-0-0- 203439

A copy of the zoning map may be found in Appendix C.

• Access – The Property has direct access to the regional highway system via I-676 (Vine Street Expressway) connecting to I-76 and I-95. There are more than 40 parking lots and garages in the Center City area plus metered street parking. For those without vehicles, ride-sharing companies and more than 1,800 licensed cab drivers also serve Philadelphia. The Property is located just over one mile from Amtrak’s 30th Street Station and less than one mile from SEPTA’s Suburban Station, the main hub of the regional rail system. The Property is served by several SEPTA bus routes and located within close walking distance of the Pennsylvania Convention Center and many other Parkway and Center City amenities. For those that appreciate a bike ride, Philadelphia offers a robust bike-sharing program via Indego and an expanding bicycle transit system. Several bike docks are located within a square mile of the Property, including docks on both the adjacent Library and Barnes properties.

• High Visibility – The Benjamin Franklin Parkway, modeled after the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris, is a highly visible thoroughfare in Center City, Philadelphia

10 Request For Qualifications 1801 Vine Street & 1901 Wood Street

and often serves as the setting for high-profile, locally- and nationally- televised events in the city.

• Utilities – The Property is well-served by existing public utilities. Electric, natural gas, water, sewer and telecommunication services are provided to the Property by various public utilities. Any upgrades to existing utility services (both on and off the site) and any new connections to support the redevelopment of the site will be the responsibility of the developer selected to redevelop the Property.

Additionally, there are known utility right of ways beneath former streets that should be investigated, and a portion of Carlton Street is currently legally opened but in the process of being stricken.

• Environmental – A copy of the Phase I ESA may be found in Appendix D as part of the John Milner Architects Building Documentation & Assessment Study. The selected developer is expected to undertake all appropriate and required environmental reviews.

• Building Documentation & Assessment Study - In the Spring of 2012, PIDC, on behalf of the City of Philadelphia, issued an RFP for a Building Documentation & Assessment Study for 1801 Vine. Through a competitive process, PIDC awarded the contract to John Milner Architects (JMA). The purpose of this study was threefold: 1) to provide complete and updated Building documentation; 2) to evaluate the environmental condition of the Building; and 3) to analyze the historic preservation regulations that govern both the Building and its interiors. The complete study, along with additional historic preservation background information, may be found in Appendix D.

• Historic Preservation – The Family Court Building is under the purview of the Philadelphia Historical Commission (PHC) and the Philadelphia Art Commission. The PHC has jurisdiction over the exterior, as well as a large portion of the interior, including 37 WPA-era murals. As such, the PHC must review for approval all proposals that would require a building permit and/or alter the appearance of these areas, the site, and permanent site appurtenances. The redevelopment must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and the Philadelphia Historical Commission Rules & Regulations, as revised on February 11, 2010.

The Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (local significance) on March 31, 2014. As a result of its listing on the National Register, adaptive reuse of the former Family Court Building will qualify for the Federal Investment Tax Credit for historic buildings. The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) will need to approve the Historic Tax Credit application, which will include treatment of the historically significant interior. Please see the Preservation Zone drawings in

11 Request For Qualifications 1801 Vine Street & 1901 Wood Street

the JMA Study as part of Appendix D, which have been reviewed by the PHMC. Should the developer elect to pursue tax credits, these drawings will be used to guide the treatment of the historic features during the Historic Tax Credit application process.

A searchable database of sites on the National Register can be found at https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/database-research.htm.

• Preferred Development Program – The preferred development program for the Property will protect the historic and architectural character of the Family Court Building, includes uses which create a unique and exciting development along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and spurs additional development in the surrounding neighborhood. Otherwise, respondents are free to explore any programmatic options if they believe them to be physically and financially viable.

PAID, PIDC and the City of Philadelphia strongly encourage environmentally sustainable and energy efficient development practices, such as LEED-certified design.

IV. RFQ/RFP PROCESS

PIDC has structured the solicitation for the Property as a two-step process:

• Step 1 - Request for Qualifications (RFQ) – The purpose of the RFQ is to establish a short-list of interested, capable, diverse and qualified developers for the Property.

• Step 2 - Request for Proposals (RFP) – The RFP will be issued to shortlisted firms to select a developer to acquire and develop the Property. The RFP will request the shortlisted respondents to prepare and provide PIDC with a complete proposal for the development of the Property including an offer price, proposal deposit, complete development team description, and development program to include a development schedule, schematic site plans and renderings, and a project financial summary.

A. Evaluation and Selection Criteria

Please note that PIDC is only soliciting proposals from qualified and experienced development firms with the demonstrated ability to successfully design, finance, and develop historic properties of a similar size, cost, scope, and complexity. PIDC reserves the right, on behalf of the City and PAID, at its sole and absolute discretion, to modify or terminate this RFQ process, reject any or all submissions, or negotiate with one or more developers for the redevelopment of the Property. This RFQ is not an offer to convey the Property; rather, this RFQ seeks qualifications from developers for PIDC’s consideration. Further, after review of

12 Request For Qualifications 1801 Vine Street & 1901 Wood Street

the qualifications, PIDC reserves the right to request additional or clarifying information from any or all parties who submit qualifications in response to this RFQ.

Responses submitted to this RFQ will be evaluated based on the following criteria, which are not necessarily listed in order of importance:

• Experience in designing, financing, constructing, leasing (if applicable) and managing projects similar to the proposed development program for the Property as demonstrated by previous projects, including achieving diversity, equity and inclusion goals. • Quality and experience of the overall development team. Ownership structures that offer significant diversity and equity are strongly encouraged. • Quality of the proposed concept, its consistency with surrounding development, its relationship to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and its programmatic diversity, equity and inclusion impacts. • Compatibility of the proposed program with the Building’s historic exterior and interior and concept for the Library’s Expansion. • Demonstrated experience in implementing an Economic Opportunity Plan to achieve maximum participation from Minority-, Women-, and Disabled-owned business subcontracting. • Demonstrated financial capability of the developer to successfully execute a project in a timely fashion.

Based on the criteria above, the Selection Committee, comprised of PIDC and various stakeholders, will evaluate the responses and short-list the development teams to participate in a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of the Property.

B. Submission Deadline

Submissions from parties interested in consideration for the redevelopment of the Property are due at the offices of the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation by 3:00 PM EST on Friday, September 17, 2021.

F. Submission Requirements

This section of the RFQ outlines the response requirements for statements of qualification. Responses must contain all of the following elements to be considered complete. Incomplete responses may be disqualified immediately at PIDC’s discretion. PIDC, on behalf of the City and PAID, reserves the right to request additional or clarifying information from proposers, and to negotiate with one or more proposers at a time without negotiating with all proposers. Developers who fail to submit additional information requested may be disqualified. No responses will be accepted after the deadline.

Please note that PIDC is not requiring respondents to submit a purchase price, a comprehensive development plan, or a full development team in response to this RFQ. Such information will be required as part of the subsequent RFP process.

Proposals should be organized as set forth below and outlined in the Submission Checklist attached as Appendix A. Proposers may include additional relevant information in appendices as they see fit.

• Proposer’s Letter of Authority – A principal of the responding entity should sign a letter documenting his or her authority to bind and represent the firm and/or team. The letter should also authorize one additional representative to act on behalf of the

15 Request For Qualifications 1801 Vine Street & 1901 Wood Street

proposing team and include the names, title, mailing addresses, email addresses, telephone and fax numbers for each of these individuals.

• Proposed Redevelopment Plan – Please provide a narrative description of the preliminary proposed development program. No drawings or renderings are required at this RFQ stage. The proposed concept should be sensitive to the historic status of the Building and its prominent location along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Proposals should state the zoning designation and any variances required for the proposed development. A copy of the zoning map can be found in Appendix C.

• Development Entity – Provide a description of the expected development entity and the lead design firm proposed for the project. Please include a description of the organization, corporation, partnership, business association, or joint venture that indicates the jurisdiction under whose laws the organization is formed or will be formed. If the organization has been formed, the submission must include a copy of the certificate of incorporation, certificate of partnership, and other relevant organizational documents. Identification of partners is required regardless of the status of the entity’s formation status.

Please note that PIDC will only evaluate the qualifications of the lead design team at this time. PIDC will not evaluate the qualifications or experience of contractors or professional service providers, such as attorneys or engineers, as part of its review of responses to this RFQ. The evaluation of additional professional service providers or contractors will be made in the RFP phase that will follow this RFQ.

However, any professional services firms or contractors included as part of a proposed development team at either the RFQ or future RFP should not be expected to offer their services exclusively to any one team. The City and PIDC would like to ensure that all professional services or contractors have an opportunity to offer their services to and join multiple teams. The City and PIDC does not want these firms, some of which may be owned by disadvantaged populations, limited in their opportunity to participate in this development. PIDC will disqualify any development teams that are found to have required such participation exclusivity.

• Financial Participants – Identify principals, partners, or co-venturers who are committed or have a financial interest in the proposed development at this stage, whether active or passive. PIDC expects that additional participants may be added over time.

• Financial Capability and References – Demonstrate the developer’s financial soundness and capability. Include the names and addresses of at least three commercial or institutional credit references and a letter authorizing each credit reference to respond to inquiries from PIDC. Two of the three references should be

RELEASE, WAIVER AND INDEMNITY

THIS RELEASE, WAIVER AND INDEMNITY ("Release"), is made as of ___ day of ______20__, and is given by ______(the "Company") to and for the benefit of the CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, acting through its Department of Public Property (the "City"). Background

A. The Company has been selected by ______("Licensee") to enter and perform work on certain City-owned property shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof the ("Property").

B. The City and Licensee have entered into an Access License Agreement (the "License Agreement") which provides Licensee with access to the Property for the purpose of performing inspections of the Property; and

C. The License Agreement requires Licensee to obtain from its agents, contractors, subcontractors, consultants and representatives a release prior to performing any work permitted under the License Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Company agrees to the following:

1. Indemnity. Company shall promptly indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (“PIDC”), the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development (“PAID”) and their respective officials, officers, shareholders, trustees, directors, commissions, boards, departments, agents, employees, representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “City Party” and, collectively, the “City Parties”) from and against all actions, causes of action, suits, litigation, proceedings, claims, demands, controversies, judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines, fees, costs, interest and expenses, liens, and claims of lien (including reasonable attorneys’, investigators’ and experts’ fees, costs and expenses), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, in contract, tort, or under statute (individually, a "Claim" and, collectively, the "Claims"), arising directly or indirectly, from Company’s or Company’s subcontractors’ presence at the Property, including but not limited to those in connection with loss of life, bodily and personal injury, or damage to property (real or personal regardless of ownership), which may be imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any City Party by reason, in whole or in part, of (i) any act or omission of the Company Parties (defined below); or (ii) the condition of the Property or any part(s) thereof caused by the Company Parties, regardless if any of the above is a result of the City Parties’ negligence. However, Company’s indemnification obligation shall not apply to liability arising from and caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the City Parties. Company is furthermore not liable for any pre-existing environmental contamination by material identified as a hazardous substance under Applicable Laws, but Company is liable for all aggravation it causes of any pre-existing condition of hazardous substances.

In the event any action or proceeding is brought against any of the City Parties arising out of or relating to Company's presence on the Property, the Company shall, upon

written notice from such City Party, resist or defend such claim at the Company’s sole cost and expense (including without limitation, counsel fees, experts’ fees, and court costs) by counsel approved by such City Party in writing, provided that no approval of counsel shall be required in any instance where the claim is resisted or defended by counsel of an insurance carrier obligated to so resist or defend such claim, and provided also that any such City Party may, if it so desires, engage at its expense its own counsel to participate in the defense of any such claim. The Company shall furthermore pay, perform and discharge any judgment, order, decree entered against any City Party, or settlement made by the Company on behalf of any City Party, on account of the Claim.

2. Release. In consideration of the City’s permitting Licensee to enter the Property, the Company, for itself, its subcontractors and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives, employees, invitees, successors and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through any of them (collectively, the "Company Parties") hereby remises, quitclaims, releases and forever discharges the City Parties from any and all, and all manner of, Claims that Company Parties may have against any City Party relating in any way to any condition on the Property or the entry onto the Property by Company Parties, including Claims in connection with the presence on or disposal from the Property of any hazardous substances, or the existence, condition, operation, use, access or occupancy of any part(s) of the Property by the Company Parties.

3. Waiver. The Company is aware of possible dangerous and hazardous conditions at, in, on, or about the Property and the Company for itself and the other Company Parties, hereby voluntarily assumes all risks and waives all claims and rights to make any claims due to or related to loss, damage or injury, including death, that may be sustained by Company Parties while inspecting the Property for Licensee.

4. Survival. The provisions of this Release shall survive and shall be valid and binding on the Company even after completion of any work on the Property under its contract with Licensee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, intending to be legally bound, has caused this Release to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the date first written above.
