Title
Old Fire Station #1 Rental & Adaptive Reuse Invitation to Negotiate (B)
Explanation
On 11/21/2019, the City Commission directed Staff to solicit a partnership to reactivate the Old Fire Station #1 site, located on 427 S Main St. An Invitation to Negotiate solicitation was posted on 02/12/2020. The solicitation was revised on 4/7/2020 to accept electronic submission only due to COVID and closed on 04/18/2020. Two proposals were received and evaluated by a cross-departmental staff team that included community builders from Sustainable Development, Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area, and Parks, recreation and Culture Affairs. One proposal was deemed non-responsive because the Proposer requested to purchase the property from the City. The other proposal was deemed responsive, of high quality, and meets the City’s goals and vision as described in the Invitation to Negotiate.
Fiscal Note
None at this time.
Recommendation
The City Commission (1) hear an update on the ITN and (2) Provide direction to City Manager and/or Designee on next steps.
