Hayward Public Safety Center: Market Sounding on P3 Delivery and Financing

The City of Hayward is gathering industry feedback on delivery and financing options for a proposed Public Safety Center, including a potential public-private partnership. - Government buyer: City of Hayward, including its Engineering Department and Engineering and Transportation office; related project materials also identify Public Works. The project would serve the Hayward Police Department. - Opportunity type: Informational market sounding only—not a construction bid, formal procurement, or commitment to proceed or award a contract. - Project concept: A new center at the former California Air National Guard site at Hayward Executive Airport to replace the inadequate police headquarters. Proposed functions include police operations and headquarters, jail or temporary holding, firearms training ranges, dispatch, a crime-scene laboratory, Youth and Family Services, parking, and related facilities. Animal services and tactical simulation may be deferred or omitted from the prioritized scope. - Scale and cost concepts: Approximately 98,712 gross square feet of buildings and a site of about 9.87 acres are identified in the concept. The prioritized project estimate is approximately $247 million; other planning materials cite approximately $259 million for the City Center site and an earlier concept estimate of $337 million. These are project estimates, not a stated contract value, and scope and funding remain open for discussion. - Notable requirements and goals: The City seeks feedback on project definition, staged pre-development and at-risk investment, procurement and delivery approaches, commercial terms, risk allocation and mitigation, financing alternatives, information needs, and a recommended timeline. Project goals include all-electric, zero-net-energy design and LEED Silver or better. Site development may require zoning, environmental, and FAA-related entitlement work. - Organizations and named platform: No OEMs, branded products, or prospective contractor vendors are specified. The contemplated site is associated with the former California Air National Guard; FAA review is relevant to site use. OpenGov is identified as the response submission platform. - Responses and participation: Written market feedback is requested from prospective developers, equity investors, lead contractors, and other interested parties. Eligible firms may request an optional one-on-one meeting. No product quantities or part numbers are specified.
