SUMMARY:
At its February 6, 2017 meeting, the CRA directed NAI Halford to proceed with the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop the Hawkshaw site at 9th Avenue and E. Romana Street. The CRA, further, approved the following appointments to the Proposal Evaluation Committee: (1) NAI Halford Representative DeeDee Davis, (2) Christian Wagley and (3) CRA Vice-Chair Andy Terhaar, to evaluate responses and provide a recommendation to the CRA for selection of a preferred developer.
On February 23, 2017 NAI Halford released the RFP. The deadline for submission of proposals to Halford was May 15, 2017. Two proposals were received. The Proposal Evaluation Committee met on May 24, 2017 to score the proposals and make a recommendation to the CRA for final approval. The committee recommended that the CRA reject both proposals and direct NAI Halford to continue to market the property.
