Request for Statements of Interest for Lease/Renovation due 6/11/10

City has just issued a Request soliciting letters of interest (RFI) from qualified individuals or organizations (for-profit and not-for-profit) to lease, restore, and utilize a City-owned property including the Fisher Mansion and associated carriage house. Information obtained from any letters of interest will help the City decide the timing and scope of an RFP for the actual lease, renovation and use of the property. In addition to requirements regarding how the buildings must be restored, it is required by the City that some portion of the project be identified for use by the community.

In addition to contact information for the individual, organization or group of organizations submitting, letters of interest should provide:
• a “high level” description of your level of interest,
• the general type of use you envision,
• how the use relates to the City’s priorities (identified in the RFI),
• your anticipated level of restoration, and
• your financial ability to commit to the renovation if you were to be selected through such an RFP process.

Please forward this notice on to any individual or organization you think might be interested.

The RFI available here.

Letters of interest are due 3 pm, June 11, 2010.
