Request for Proposal for Land Development

The City and Borough of Wrangell is seeking developers or contractors to submit proposals for the acquisition and development of all or part of a 134‑acre municipal parcel located within the City of Wrangell. The goal is to create a community‑benefiting use that expands the tax base and provides local employment. Proposals must include developer qualifications, a summary of the development concept, anticipated community benefits, purchase price terms, a detailed action plan (construction cost estimate, schedule, site‑preparation, utility development, phasing, parking, and any requested incentives), and a draft development agreement. The solicitation does not prescribe a specific land‑use; mixed‑use, residential, commercial, tourism, or industrial concepts are all acceptable subject to rezoning from the current “Holding” district. The City will evaluate proposals based on completeness, experience, community impact, and financial feasibility, and reserves the right to reject all proposals or negotiate after the deadline. • 134‑acre parcel (≈ 122 acre undeveloped forest + 12 acre previously developed) within Wrangell city limits. • No fixed budget; developers propose a purchase price and may request tax abatements or infrastructure incentives. • Required submission elements: qualifications, concept overview, benefits analysis, cost & schedule, incentive request, draft agreement. • Deadline for questions: April 30 2014; final proposal deadline: May 22 2014, 5 pm AK time. • Contact: Kim Lane, Borough Clerk ([email protected], (907) 874‑2381).
