The City of New Haven is seeking proposals to adaptively reuse and activate a former CT Transit information booth on the New Haven Green. The goal is to transform the site into a vibrant asset supporting pedestrians and transit riders. Proposals for retail, arts, tourism, or community services are welcome, with a focus on operational feasibility and sustainability. Rental terms are negotiable.
The City of New Haven’s (the “City”) Office of Economic Development has issued this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to seek project proposals for the adaptive reuse and activation of the former CT Transit information booth located on the Chapel Street side (north side of Chapel Street) of the New Haven Green between Church Street and Temple Street, (the “Site”). The City is seeking to select a person or organization (“Respondent”) who presents a clear, feasible, and creative proposal that will transform the Site into an active and welcoming asset. Given its highly visible, transit-oriented location, the City is particularly interested in uses that enhance pedestrian experience, support transit riders, and contribute to the vibrancy and safety of the New Haven Green. Proposals may include, but are not limited to, small-format retail or convenience uses, arts and cultural programming, tourism-oriented services, or community service providers. The City will prioritize Respondents that demonstrate operational feasibility, a clear business or programming model, and the ability to maintain an attractive and well-managed presence at the Site. Given the small scale and physical constraints of the Site, rental terms are negotiable, and the City is open to flexible arrangements that support successful activation while ensuring long-term sustainability.

City of New Haven in New Haven, Connecticut is using this solicitation to procure transportation 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. Bidders responding to a transportation solicitation in Connecticut are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Federal-aid funding flowing through programs such as the Federal Highway Administration, FEMA, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act brings additional compliance requirements on solicitations like this one, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America provisions where applicable, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals set by the issuing agency. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Connecticut so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a proposal for this RFP, review the full solicitation documents for City of New Haven's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the August 4, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Vendors that have not previously contracted with City of New Haven should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
