Site work for an industrial development in Saint Louis, Missouri. Conceptual plans call for site work for a industrial development.

The Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority of the County of St. Louis ("LCRA") is a political subdivision of the State of Missouri organized pursuant to Chapter 99 of the Missouri Revised Statutes for the purposes, among others, of rehabilitating, redeveloping, and renewing real property for residential, commercial, or mixed-use for the economic benefit and social welfare of St. Louis County. Consistent with its organizational purposes, the LCRA owns certain residential and industrial, real property parcels located in the City of Wellston in St. Louis County, Missouri. The LCRA issues this Request for Proposals ("RFP") to purchase and redevelop an approximately 15-acre property, commonly known as the Plymouth Industrial Park and located at 6440 Page Avenue, Wellston, St. Louis County, Missouri 63133 (the "Property"). The LCRA has worked with the City of Wellston to develop and approve a redevelopment plan for Wellston, which would include the redevelopment of the Property. PGAV Planners conducted a review of the City of Wellston to evaluate the current conditions and its need for redevelopment and issued a report entitled the "Wellston Empower Plan" ("Empower Plan"). The Empower Plan is designed to facilitate the redevelopment of Wellston into productive commercial, industrial, and residential uses, including related parking, improved pedestrian and vehicular access, and recreational facilities. The LCRA and Wellston have approved the Empower Plan, which is available in the Informational Package (as defined below). The intention of this RFP is to solicit proposals from developers ("Respondents") that will contract to complete the redevelopment and purchase of the Property consistent with the Empower Plan (the "Redevelopment"). Other terms and conditions may be developed in response to specific proposals and incorporated into agreements that may be necessary to implement incentives for the Redevelopment. The LCRA seeks proposals ("Proposals") from developers to contract for the redevelopment and purchase of the Property from the LCRA. The Property is being sold AS IS, without warranty as to any matters. Addenda: In the event that it becomes necessary to revise any part of the RFP, revisions shall be made only by written addenda. Respondents shall bear the entire responsibility for ensuring that they have received any and all addenda. After the proposals have been received, no claim that the Respondent did not have complete information will be considered. Rejection of Proposals: The LCRA reserves the right to reject any and all proposals at its sole discretion. The Informational Package is being provided as an accommodation only. The LCRA makes no representations or warranties concerning the accuracy or completeness of the documents in the Informational Package, and the LCRA and the LCRA Affiliates (defined below) shall have no liability to the Respondent for any expense or loss suffered by Respondent as a result of any errors or omissions in the matters disclosed or not disclosed in the Informational Package. The term "LCRA Affiliates" shall include the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, St. Louis County, the City of St. Louis, and all agencies and departments and officials, agents, and employees of the foregoing. Inspections. Each Respondent should thoroughly investigate all aspects of the Property prior to submitting a proposal. The LCRA will provide reasonable access to the Property at the request of potential purchasers. Potential purchasers desiring to conduct any invasive testing on the Property will need written permission from the LCRA for any such testing. Potential purchasers may contact Howl Bean via email: Hbean@stlpartnership.com to seek permission for inspections or any testing. Each Respondent is advised to perform its own due diligence for the Property before submitting an offer to purchase, provided however, that the Sale Contract (defined below) will allow the Respondent a due diligence period after the Sale Contract is entered into in which to conduct such additional and reasonable due diligence investigation as the Buyer deems necessary. Sale Contract and Development Agreement. The Informational Package will contain a form sale contract (the "Sale Contract") and a form development agreement (the "Development Agreement"). Within fifteen days after a proposal is approved for selection by the LCRA Board of Commissioners, the LCRA and developer will enter into negotiations to finalize such Sale Contract and Development Agreement on terms mutually satisfactory to both parties but consistent with developer's proposal. To the extent the parties cannot reach final agreement on a Sale Contract and Development Agreement within a reasonable amount of time, the LCRA reserves the right to terminate negotiations and select a new developer. An earnest money deposit of the lesser of Five Percent (5%) of the purchase price or Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) in the form of a check made payable to the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority must accompany any proposal. Only the monies of the winning proposal will be deposited with an escrow agent. All other checks will be shredded and discarded. The LCRA may begin its review of submissions prior to the above deadline; however, the LCRA will take no final action and will not select a developer prior to such date.
