H.D. King Plant Site Redevelopment RFQ 2017-023 Overview of Bid Process
Shyanne Helms, Communications Manager, gave a brief overview of the RFQ/RFP timeline for the redevelopment of the H.D. King Plant site which began in August, 2017 and concluded on May 21, 2018 when the FPRA rejected all proposals.
Ms. Helms went on to present options for potential next steps, including a timeline, community input meetings, online survey, appraisal, and development and issuance of a new RFQ/RFP. Mr. Mimms discussed the potential new evaluation process which could include more involvement and input by the FPRA Board. With the new timeline, it is anticipated that the process could be complete by October, 2019.
Mr. Mimms indicated that if a vote to reconsider is approved, staff would have approximately 90 days to bring back a contract or report for consideration by the FPRA.
