SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to authorize the Hawaii public housing authority to include, in a request for proposals for the construction or renovation of a public housing project, a price preference or scoring bonus to an offeror who proposes to concurrently redevelop an adjacent site.

SECTION 2. Chapter 356D, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part I to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

"§356D‑ Price preference or scoring bonus; construction or renovation; federal or state low-income housing project. (a) The authority may include in a request for proposals for the construction or renovation of a federal or state low-income housing project under this chapter, a price preference or scoring bonus to an offeror who has redeveloped or, concurrently with the proposed construction or renovation work, proposes to redevelop an offeror-controlled adjacent site to make available new or renovated dwelling units for low-income households.

(b) A request for proposals issued pursuant to this section may:

(1) Expressly state that concurrently redeveloping an adjacent site is an option that may be exercised by the offeror; and

(2) Cite as a public benefit the completed or ongoing redevelopment of dwelling units for low-income households on an offeror-controlled adjacent site; and

An offeror shall not be disqualified solely because the offeror fails or refuses to submit a proposal that includes an option to redevelop an adjacent site.

(c) If providing a price preference, the request for proposals shall identify the percentage of preference, which may vary according to the following in relation to the adjacent site:

(1) The extent and type of the proposed completed or ongoing redevelopment activity;

(3) Number of dwelling units proposed to be or actually made available to low-income households.

(1) The criteria for evaluating the proposed, completed, or ongoing redevelopment activity;

(2) Relative importance of the redevelopment criterion compared to other criteria; and

(3) Other terms and conditions to clearly describe the scoring bonus.

(e) For purposes of this section, "offeror-controlled adjacent site" means real property that is adjacent to the boundaries of the subject federal or state low-income housing project and either owned in fee simple by the offeror or leased to the offeror for a term of at least thirty years."
