L INTRODUCTION / PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />A. NATURE OF WORK <br />The City of Santa Ana is seeking qualified individuals or entities (Proposers) for the <br />purchase and development of 22 vacant properties (Attachment 1) in the City of Santa <br />Ana. <br />B. BACKGROUND <br />The City's remnant parcels (Attachment 1) for disposition associated with this RFP were <br />all acquired for various public transportation improvement projects using Federal and <br />State grants. These properties are considered exempt per the California Surplus Lands Act <br />(SLA) as explained herein. For purposes of the SLA, surplus land means "land owned by <br />any local agency, that is determined to be no longer necessary for the agency's use, except <br />property being held by the agency for the purpose of exchange." All of the properties <br />listed under this RFP are remnant parcels from right-of-way transactions that have never <br />been put to any municipal or other use, and were being held solely for purposes of <br />exchange. The proceeds from the sale of these properties are considered as restricted funds <br />and must be used to reimburse the granting agencies, and/or to fund further improvements <br />within the same or similar project. <br />There are eighty-eight (88) individual parcels that have been combined into twenty-two <br />(22) combined parcels. These parcels were combined into these larger residential (10 <br />parcels), commercial (9 parcels), and professional office (3 parcels) lots to provide the <br />greatest public benefit and to ensure that the lots met the minimum development standards <br />based on zoning. <br />Proposals for developing each parcel listed in this RFP will be accepted provided that they <br />are generally consistent with the existing zoning for each site. Proposal's content should <br />be complete and reflect the specific ownership, financing, and land use features of each <br />proposed project. Property zoning and size (sq. ft.) for each site is shown on the Property <br />Location Exhibits in Attachment 1. <br />C. PROPOSER RESPONSIBILITY <br />Each Proposer must be capable of providing experienced, knowledgeable and professional <br />team to deliver a complete project. The Proposer shall be responsive and fulfill all <br />requirements of the RFP. The Proposer shall provide adequate staffing levels for each <br />project at all times and adhere to established schedules. The Proposer shall be <br />knowledgeable of and comply with federal, state and local laws, including the Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code, as it applies to their Proposal. <br />D. NUMBER OF PROPOSALS AND SIGNATURE <br />A complete Proposal package shall be submitted on PlanetBids on or before the deadline <br />listed on the cover of this REP. <br />Additionally, five (5) hard copies of the electronic submission on PlanetBids shall be <br />delivered to the City of Santa Ana to the location noted on the Notice Inviting Proposals. <br />Hard copy Proposals and Deposits shall be submitted per instructions on PlanetBids. <br />City of Santa Ana RFP 19-026 <br />Page 1 <br />
