Purchase of 20 Acre City-Owned Parcel in Horizons Business Park

RFP Document

The City of Riverside is soliciting proposals from qualified parties to purchase a City-owned industrial lot located at 3910 NW Helena Rd in the Horizons Business Park.  The subject property is currently undeveloped and is part of the L-385 Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district.

The purpose of this RFP is to identify a developer with the interest, resources, and experience to purchase and develop the property into a desirable addition to the Horizons Business Park.  Preference will be given to buyers prepared to close quickly on the property and construct a building consistent with the surrounding development. 

Proposals will be accepted until 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 12, 2021.   A City review committee consisting of City staff will review all proposals and make a recommendation to the Board of Aldermen.  After selection by the Board, City staff will enter into negotiations with the successful respondent for a sale and purchase agreement, and if necessary, a development agreement.

The City may request additional information from respondents at any time prior to the final approval of a selected respondent.  The City reserves the right to select one or none of the respondents.  The City will select what, in its sole judgement, is determined to be in the best interest of the City.

Complete bid packets can be downloaded from the City web page at www.riversidemo.gov.  All submittals shall become the property of the City, and, after the selection process, will be a part of the public record.
