The University of Akron has released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for two PPP projects to both upgrade and modernize its energy infrastructure and deliver new on-campus housing assets in Ohio, USA.

The energy initiative involves a significant capital renewal for Akron's extensive campus district heating network. In the housing venture, private partners will develop and implement a sustainable strategy to revitalize their housing offerings and initiate new housing projects. Both projects will be executed through design, build, finance, operation, and maintenance contracts. Brailsford & Dunlavey, along with RMF Engineering, are providing advisory services to the university for this initiative.

The deadline for responses is January 19, 2024. More information about this tender can be found on our Business opportunity page here.
