The city of Beaverton announced today that a selection committee narrowed the list of possible developers for the five-year Beaverton master developer contract down to two firms.
The two firms are the Portland-based Gerding Edlen Development and the Beaverton-based Specht Development.
The same selection committee, comprised of various city employees, will now interview both firms personally and make a final selection. The committee is slated to make a selection by early next month.
Gerding Edlen Development scored the highest on its initial proposal, receiving a score of 234 out of a possible 268 points. Specht scored a total of 214.8.
The master developer will be responsible for assuming the role of a development consultant, serving as a fee developer and proving that the firm can bring financing to the table for potential public-private projects.
