Bid #05641. Contact: toohey@cvregion.com. Montpelier, Vermont. The Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission is seeking a financial institution to manage its new $1 million EPA-funded Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund. The selected partner will provide. Due Jul 14 (6 days left).
The Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission is seeking a financial institution to manage its new $1 million EPA-funded Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund. The selected partner will provide underwriting, servicing, and financial product design for loans aimed at brownfield remediation and redevelopment across Vermont. This initiative prioritizes projects with significant public benefits and requires expertise in handling diverse applicant needs and financial risks.
CVRPC secured a $1 million FY25 Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grant from EPA under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which will capitalize a permanent fund for the remediation and redevelopment of eligible brownfield sites within the region. This RLF will fund cleanup projects that benefit residents by reducing exposure to contaminants, create safe and affordable housing, generate job opportunities in newly created or retained commercial space, incorporate flood resilience, or create public open space. While all eligible projects will be considered, CVRPC will use its RLF to provide discounted and flexible loan terms (in addition to grants) to meet these goals, prioritizing projects that provide clear tangible public benefits and would not be possible without advantageous financing. CVRPC is issuing this Request for Proposals with the intent of selecting a qualified financial institution to provide loan underwriting, loan servicing, and advice in financial product design for the CVRPC Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund. The selected financial institution will provide guidance and financial oversight that considers the differing needs and capabilities of RLF loan applicants, which may include municipalities, nonprofits, and for-profit entities; unique and sometimes limited financial assets; varying levels of financial risk; and a range of experience in real estate development, environmental remediation, and financial management. A successful RLF program will serve all these needs and remain flexible to accomplish its goals. Locations: State-Wide

CENTRAL VERMONT REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION in Montpelier, Vermont is using this solicitation to procure environmental work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Proposals (RFP), evaluating bidders on a combination of qualifications, technical approach, and price.
