DRAFT RFP
At the October work session the commissioners indicated a desire to
distribute a "Request For Proposal for the Redevelopment of the Repairs,
Inc. site." I had gotten copies of an Apple Valley RFP for redevelopment
of property that the city has at C.R. 42 and Cedar Avenue and made them
available earlier.
Attached is a draft RFP based on the Apple Valley model. As we have at
least two parties interested in redeveloping the site, the RFP will assure
simultaneous submission of proposals and also guarantee equality in detail.
This will make it easier for the Port Authority to select the proposal with
the most benefit for the city.
The RFP requires a submission by January 5, 1993.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve the Request for Proposal for redevelopment of the
Repairs, Inc. site and to direct the Port Authority staff to distribute
them to interested persons.
PORT AUTHORITY ACTION:
REPAIRS INCORPORATED
OFFICE/RETAIL COMPLEX BUILDING

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
ROSEMOUNT PORT AUTHORITY
I. Introduction
The Rosemount Port Authority through the actions of predecessor agencies has
acquired a parcel of land near the intersection of 145th Street West and T.H. 3. The
address of the property is 14390 South Robert Trail (T.H. 3). The area of the parcel
is approximately .42 of an acre with approximate dimensions of 110 x 166 feet (see
attached map).
The parcel is presently occupied by a business known as Repairs, Incorporated.
The Rosemount Port Authority has completed a phase 1 environmental assessment of
the property and the complete report is available upon request.
At this time the Port Authority wished to identify developers interested in
redeveloping the parcel and assisting the commissioners by replacing this blighted
area with a project that would be an amenity to the downtown business district and
the community -at -large. Proposals must be conceptually and aesthetically consistent
with city land use plans and the Port Authority's end-use concepts.
II. Final Development
The final development of this property should be an office or office/retail
combination. The Port Authority wishes to sell or trade the property. If a land trade
is proposed, the traded property must be in the 1979 Redevelopment District
boundaries as amended.
III. General Provisions
A. The development must meet the City of Rosemount zoning requirements. The
usual and customary development procedures used by the City of Rosemount
and the Rosemount Port Authority shall govern the development process of
this project.
B. A development agreement must be signed before the property is sold to ensure
the type and quality of development after ownership of the property has been
relinquished by the Port Authority.
C. The total value of the parcel of property based on sale to the Rosemount
Economic Development Authority is $130,500. According to state law, the
property cannot be sold for less than it was acquired.
D. The property is located near an at -grade intersection in Dakota County with
average daily trip counts on T.H. 3 and 145th Street 8,700 vehicles and 7,600
vehicles respectively.
E. The property is located in a Tax Increment District and tax increment revenue
derived from this specific project is available for this project on a pay-as-
you-go basis. The district expires in 2000.
F. Special assessment financing with a term of 10 years would be the primary
financing tool for infrastructure improvements.
G. The design of the development must include some provision for shared
parking with the adjacent Erickson Park.
H. The land triangle on the north side of the parcel is to be excluded from the
development. It will be deeded to the city for park purposes.
I. The design is to emphasize a facade and sign package compatible with
adjacent and nearby structures.
J. The awarded developer should expect to work closely with the Port Authority
and city development staff for the entire duration of this project.
K. Upon award of the project, the developer has one year to demonstrate
significant progress toward completion of the project satisfactory to the Port
Authority. If the Port Authority deems insufficient progress has been made, it
may re -issue RFPs for a new development project.
This solicitation provides broad outlines for the development in order to allow each
developer maximum latitude for creativity and innovation in each proposal. The Port
Authority intent is that this process will heighten the competition and yield the best possible
development.
