Chesapeake RFI for former Deep Creek school preservation and redevelopment planning

The City of Chesapeake is seeking market input on the historic preservation, remediation, and redevelopment feasibility of the former Deep Creek school site. - Government buyer: City of Chesapeake, Virginia — Planning; local government. The site is at 140 and 136 George Washington Highway North in Deep Creek. - Opportunity type: Request for Information (RFI), not a contract award solicitation. The City anticipates a future request for redevelopment proposals. - Site: Two publicly owned parcels: an 11.48-acre parcel with two former school buildings and a vacant 0.6-acre parcel. The north building is a Colonial Revival structure with roof leaks and minor settlement cracks; the south building has roof, ceiling, floor, and structural-component deterioration. A drainage easement crosses the larger parcel, and resubdivision may be considered. - Requested input: Historic designation and adaptive reuse; preliminary environmental and building assessments and potential remediation; rehabilitation challenges; public open-space ownership, maintenance, and programming; residential and retail/commercial market feasibility; and redevelopment timing and phasing. - Planning context: The Deep Creek Area Plan supports adaptive reuse alongside complementary development, local dining and retail, housing, and a public plaza or park. A flexible scenario illustrates 5,000 square feet of retail/commercial space and 86 dwelling units; these are planning concepts, not requested purchase quantities. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, vendors, or part numbers are named. No products are requested. - Response requirements: Submit questionnaire responses and a completed RFI remittal letter through the City’s OpenGov portal.
