Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Ordinance 051-22 to authorize staff to enter into a purchase, sale, and development agreement, as well as other agreements as necessary, with Sunny Tempe Investments, LLC DBA Old Bisbee High School, LLC (OBHS) for the sale, purchase, and development of County-owned property located at 100 Clawson Avenue in Bisbee, Arizona.
Background:
Old Bisbee High School is a three-story, 45,000 square foot building that was originally constructed in 1914. The building functioned as a regional high school until 1959, when a new, larger school was opened. Since that time, it was acquired by the County and has served as office space for county staff. In December 2021, all remaining employees were relocated to alternate County facilities and the County released a Request for Proposals (RFP), which was geared towards knowledgeable developers with experience in property redevelopment, adaptive reuse of historic properties, and historic preservation.
Respondents to the RFP were required to provide a statement of submission, project description, financial information, and the development team qualifications. The RFPs were evaluated based on completeness of the proposal, expected quality of the proposed work, the community value, and the respondent experience. Two complete responses to the RFP submitted by the 4/1/22 deadline. Sunny Tempe Investments, LLC DBA Old Bisbee High School, LLC (OBHS) was determined to have the most responsive proposal and the highest bid. Staff recommends that the Board authorize staff to enter into a purchase, sale, and development agreement, with OBHS for the sale, purchase, and development of this County-owned property. A complete copy of their submission is included in this agenda item. Staff will provide a presentation during the 5/10/22 meeting.
