Site work and new construction of a municipal facility in Blue Springs, Missouri. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a municipal facility; and for site work for a municipal facility.

As of August 30, 2022 a developer/design team has not been selected. *The previous solicitation is listed below for reference. The City of Blue Springs is soliciting proposals from qualified individuals, firms, partnerships, and corporations to select a developer of City-owned property located at 1304 West Main Street. The subject property is currently vacant land that was previously used as a city building for storage and temporary office space. The City is in the process of demolishing the buildings and site improvements to clear the site for future development. One storage building will remain until a developer is selected and construction begins. The City will demolish the remaining building. The purpose of this RFP is to identify a developer with the interest, resources, and experience to purchase and develop the property into a desirable addition to downtown Blue Springs. The preferred developer would be expected to enter into funding and development agreements and sign a purchase contract with the City consistent with the parameters and goals for the development described within this RFP that would lead to a mutually agreeable development plan. The funding agreement will be used to establish a deposit made the developer to pay the costs and expenses of the City related to the negotiation and implementation of the purchase contact, the development agreement and incentives for the project. The City reserves the right to selection attorneys and other consultants as it deems necessary to help with the negotiation of the development agreement and related purchase contract. The development plan would include details such as a proposed site plan, types of uses, and a development schedule. If the City and the preferred developer are unable to reach mutual agreement, the City may select another qualified developer from the RFP respondents. The City is not seeking to have any form of partnership role in the development of the site. The City seeks to sell the real estate, specifying certain conditions upon the sale. The City will, however, have certain expectations in addition to the sales price that the selected developer will have to execute and agree to. In addition, the selected developer will be subject to all applicable rules, regulations, and procedures attendant on the development of any property. The City is not interested in engaging a broker, agent or consultant who proposes to work on a fee basis to market the property or act as a real estate advisor to the City. A City review committee consisting of City staff will review all proposals and may interview a short list of respondents and make a recommendation to the City Council. After selection by the City Council and following approval of a funding agreement, City staff will enter into negotiations with the successful respondent for a sale and purchase agreement and development agreement for any incentives requested. The City may also request additional information from respondents at any time prior to final approval of a selected respondent. The City reserves the right to select one or none of the respondents. The City will select what, in its sole judgment, it determines will be in the best interest of the City. All submittals shall become the property of the City, and, after selection process, will be a part of the public record. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
