RFQ 2
D. Principal Developer Financial Capacity
A major criterion for selection of a developer in the RFQ stage will be a determination
of the financial condition and/or capacity of the principal developer to undertake the
development of the BTC. The Selection Committee will evaluate the developer’s finan-
cial qualifications based on documentation indicating both the current financial condi-
tion of the submitting developer and its past demonstrated ability to obtain debt and
equity financing. Greatest weight will be given to information providing clear and well-
documented disclosure of financial capacity. A list of suggested documentation is pro-
vided below:
Please note: documents submitted under this section may be provided under separate
cover to ensure confidentiality. If you chose to submit this information separately,
please note it clearly in the appropriate location of the RFQ submission.
RFQ 3
Audited financial statements for the most recent accounting year should be complete
and include a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, statement of cash flow and
notes to the statements. Financial statements that are reviewed compiled or prepared
in-house will be accepted but not preferred. Financial documentation that covers the
last two years is given greatest weight. Audited financial statements will be required
before execution of the final agreement.
E. Evidence of Insurability
Each respondent to the RFQ must disclose whether any member of the governing
body of the City of Cape May or any other public official of the City who exercises any
functions or responsibilities in the review or approval of the conduct of the project pro-
posed by the developer has any direct or indirect personal interest in the Developer or
any members of the development team or in the redevelopment or rehabilitation of any
property conveyed under such project. If so, please identify the official and give a de-
tailed description of the relationship.
G. Concept/Narrative
In order to gain a clear understanding of the type of project envisioned by the candi-
date developer or team for BTC, it is required that a narrative description be provided
at the RFQ stage indicating the type of end use the developer may pursue in its future
market research effort. It is understood by the Beach Theatre Foundation, at the RFQ
stage, the development concept merely needs to outline the direction the developer
will pursue for uses and their relationship to each other, the Washington Street Mall,
and the new Convention Hall as envisioned for BTC based on the developer’s prelimi-
nary understanding of the site and its translation into potential development opportuni-
ties.
RFQ 4
H. Disqualification Factors
I. References

ting firm. Please note – two references must attest to the submitting firm’s financial ca-
pacity, including one financial reference that represents the principal bank or lender of
the submitting developer.
J. Disclosure Information

tunity, relevant background information must be obtained. Respondents shall com-
plete and submit the attached Preliminary Disclosure Statement. Short-listed candi-
dates may be required to submit additional disclosure information as necessary.
The BTF assumes no liability for any costs associated with the completion of this Pre-
liminary Disclosure Statement, or in responding to any requests for additional informa-
tion, interviews, or other items prior to the execution of a Redeveloper’s Agreement.
RFQ 5
Completion of the Preliminary Disclosure Statement in no way confers upon a Respon-
dent any position, privilege, or preference as relates to the development opportunity
described herein.
The BTF shall use the information contained in the Preliminary Disclosure Statement
solely to determine a Respondent’s fitness to participate in the development opportu-
nity described. Such determination shall be at the sole discretion of the BTF. The BTF
shall consider any and all disclosure-related information as privileged.
The BTF shall take no action on any RFQ response that does not include a completed
Preliminary Disclosure Statement, and shall take no (further) action regarding a Re-
spondent whose Preliminary Disclosure Statement is found to be incomplete, to con-
tain falsifications, or to be in error.
FORM 1: Identity of Officers, Directors & Others Having a 10% or More Interest

Release Authorization.
Respondents shall complete each item on FORM 1 and FORM 2, and shall complete a
separate Certification and Authorization form and Release Authorization form for each
person named as Officer, Director or Owner of 10% or more of the Respondent on
FORM 1.

and signatures required. Missing signatures will invalidate the RFQ response.
RFQ 6
K. Certification
The following Selection Criteria shall be used as a guide to evaluate all submissions to
Request for Qualifications.
A major criterion for selection in the RFQ stage will be a determination of the financial
condition and/or capacity of the candidate developer to undertake the development of
the BTC. The Selection Committee will evaluate developers financial qualifications
based on both financial information of the candidate developer and its past demon-
strated ability to obtain debt and equity financing.
RFQ 7
Quality of “Conceptual Vision” for BTC 20%
The Selection Committee will be looking at evaluating the type of use(s) proposed for
BTC and their relationship to existing structures.
Candidate developers will be evaluated on past success in completion of development projects, particu-
larly involving public/private initiatives. Particular weight will be given to demonstration of public/
community benefits of past projects undertaken by candidate developer.
The present organizational structure of the candidate developer will be closely evaluated along with re-
sumes, appropriate experience and qualifications of principals, project managers and key personnel of
candidate developer and team members. Evaluation will be based on an assessment of the candidate
developer’s ability to commit necessary technical and staff resources to accomplish development of
BTC.
Based on information provided by the candidate developer on past or current projects which it has man-
aged, an assessment will be made on the quality of the overall organizational or team approach to de-
velopment. This would include an evaluation of the personnel/firms used in the project design, develop-
ment, construction, operation and management of its past projects.
