REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

To Develop a New Child, Teen and Family Center and Department of Psychiatry Building at 2130 Third Street

INTRODUCTION The Regents of the University of California ("University") are requesting qualifications from developers who would like to be considered for a real estate transaction with the University to design, finance, construct, and operate a new Child, Teen and Family Center and UCSF Department of Psychiatry Building at 2130 Third Street in San Francisco. This development opportunity is hereinafter referred to as the "Project." The Project will contain approximately 140,000 gross square feet of above-grade improvements on an approximately 34,000 square foot site. The University seeks developers that have demonstrated the following: -

Successful development of complex sites in an urban setting; A history of actively engaging San Francisco communities in the design and construction of similar projects; Successful development of creative, compelling, well-designed projects; and Financial capacity to be responsible for a project costing approximately $100 million to complete.

If you would like to be considered for the opportunity to develop the Project, then the University invites your organization to respond to this Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) and submit your qualifications as described below.

TRANSACTION DESCRIPTION The selected developer (“Developer”) will be responsible for planning, designing, managing and funding the Project, including procurement of the necessary approvals through the University’s entitlement process and securing of equity and debt financing. The University expects to execute a reimbursement agreement under which it will refund the Developer’s predevelopment expenses if the Project does not proceed to construction commencement. Prior to the start of construction, the University will enter into an unsubordinated long-term ground lease of the site with the -2-

Developer. The University and Developer also will execute a space lease of the Project. This lease will commence upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent. The lease will provide the University options to purchase the Project, approximately on the fifth year anniversary of the lease commencement and at the end of the lease term. At occupancy, the Developer also will be responsible for providing property management services.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project’s proposed improvements will contain approximately 140,000 gross square feet in a new facility at 2130 Third Street south of UCSF's Mission Bay campus. The building program will include the Child, Teen and Family Center including its clinical, educational, research, administrative and general support space. The new building also will house UCSF’s Department of Psychiatry and its clinical, research, educational, administrative and general support space. Occupants will include patients and their families, educators, researchers, clinicians, support staff, administrators and trainees, as well as Center and Department guests and members of the public for certain activities. The building design must provide flexibility to accommodate a wide variety of user groups performing a broad range of ambulatory clinical services, dry lab space, clinical research and educational activities. The building also will include an auditorium or convening area, training rooms, and a retail food area. The Developer will be responsible for construction of the core and shell and tenant improvements and specified horizontal infrastructure including on and off-site utilities. The Project also will include at least 33 on-site parking spaces. A more precise scope of work and details of the improvements to be constructed will be set forth in the Basis of Design and included in a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) discussed below. The University will be the lead agency for CEQA review and approval for the proposed ground lease and for building construction and operations. Project design, financing and lease terms will be subject to approval by the University. UCSF endeavors to align with San Francisco's local hire goals. The RFP will specify these hiring goals further.

SELECTION PROCESS The developer selection will be a two-step process. In step one, the University will review responses to this RFQ from developers (“Respondents”) and shortlist approximately 3 – 6 Respondents. In step two, the RFP stage, the University will ask the shortlisted Respondents to submit proposals specifying transaction terms and developer obligations. The University will -3-

select a preferred developer with whom it will enter into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA). Final business terms and developer obligations will be based on minimum terms agreed to by the preferred developer in response to the RFP. These business terms and developer obligations will be incorporated into the reimbursement agreement, ground lease, and space lease as discussed above. These documents will supersede any understandings contained in the ENA and be the governing documents for the transaction. The developer will be responsible for its own costs of proposal preparation and contract negotiations. The University will not be responsible for any brokerage fees or commissions to representatives of Respondents.

SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS Respondents are requested to provide information in sufficient detail for the University to evaluate their capabilities including: Development Team Background.
