To remove any undue pressure at this initial RFQ stage, the City hereby removes item 7 (Development approach) requirement for a Development Proposal, though respondents may include a simple concept. Instead of a Development Proposal submitted at this initial RFQ stage, those selected to interview as a next step in the selection process should be prepared to present their general concepts illustrated through drawings, a diagram, or slides to demonstrate their understanding of the desired development resulting from the charette process and their proposed development approach. Additional information will be provided to those shortlisted for interviews."
