Proposal shall be submitted no later than Friday, January 6, 2023 at 5:00 pm. Proposals shall be submitted via the City’s e-Procurement Portal, OpenGov Procurement.

All proposals (including all documents, schedules, reports, plans and other attachments) will not be returned.

Offerors shall provide a Price Proposal in their response to this RFP. At the minimum, the Price Proposal should include the proposed acquisition price for the subject property. In addition, the Price Proposal should include any other material terms and conditions that would be expected as part of the real estate transaction and/or utilization of the property, including utilization of parking in the adjacent EDA-owned garage at 2900 Washington Avenue. The EDA will not pay any brokerage commissions connected with this transaction.

Proposals will be evaluated according to the established evaluation criteria identified herein. The City will select two (2) or more Offeror proposals that are deemed to be fully qualified and best suited to provide the required services contained in the Scope of Work. The City may initiate discussions/interviews and may conduct negotiations with each of the selected Offerors. During negotiations, proposals may be revised by the Offeror and the City may obtain best and final offers. Once negotiations are completed, the City may again make a determination as to whether the Offeror has the capability, integrity or reliability to provide the required services.

Only proposals from responsible Offerors that are seen as reasonably susceptible of being selected for award, based on information contained in the proposal, will be evaluated by the City.

Should the City determine that only one Offeror is fully qualified or that one Offeror is clearly more highly qualified than others, a contract may be negotiated and subsequently awarded to that Offeror if the City finds that such a selection is in the best interest of the City.
