Sale of Real Property

The City of Springfield is offering its vacant lots for sale under a Vacant‑Lot Disposition Program. Bidders may purchase individual parcels “as‑is” with a minimum price of $500 per lot, and must submit a concrete development or use plan. Preference is given to adjacent property owners, followed by other local stakeholders, with evaluation based on location affiliation, price, and proposed use. The solicitation requires electronic PDF submission by 3 PM CT on 3 Dec 2026, with questions due by 12 Nov 2026. No bid security is required, and the City reserves the right to award any or all proposals. • Sale of over 200 vacant parcels (Ward 2) – each treated as a separate item. • Minimum bid $500 per lot; higher offers considered, evaluated on location, price, and proposed land use. • Preferred bidders: adjacent owners, local nonprofits, or other entities with a redevelopment plan; non‑side‑lot bidders must provide a Letter of Credit. • Submission via City’s electronic bidding portal; no pre‑bid meeting required. • Award timing not specified; City may award contracts at any time after the submission deadline.
