Receipt of Measure M Street Construction proceeds in the amount of $660,250 will be disbursed to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). (Requires five affirmative votes) DISCUSSION The City is the owner of substantial real property assets and interests that were specifically acquired for various street widening projects. Approval of recommended actions will allow the City to sell such City -owned vacant property acquired with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Right -of -Way restricted grant funds, and return proceeds of sale to Bristol Street Improvement Project, and funding agency, Purchase and Sale Agreements — RFP 20-159 Sale of City -Owned Vacant Properties December 21, 2021 Page 2 proportionally based on match requirements, consistent with Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) Cooperative Agreement C-6-0069 between respective agencies. On March 5, 2019, the City Council authorized for disposition of various City -owned properties via the Request for Proposals (RFP) process and direct negotiations for sites with substandard lot conformity. On April 2, 2019, the City issued RFP 19-026, which solicited the sale and development of various combined properties with existing residential, commercial, and professional office zoning designations. On November 18, 2019, the City Council approved Purchase and Sale Agreements to activate various City - owned vacant properties, and generate over $2 million in revenue generating developments and new sales tax revenues with increased property tax rolls and additional utility user taxes collected on an annual basis in perpetuity. On April 21, 2020, the Santa Ana City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-032 declaring the Property as surplus land and directing the City Manager to comply with the requirements of California Government Code Section 54220 et seq. ("Surplus Land Act") for the disposition of the Property. On April 27, 2020, the City released a Notice of Availability ("NOX) of surplus property for the Property for a period of 60 days. This NOA was sent out to all " local public entities," as defined in Health and Safety Code section 50079, within whose jurisdiction the surplus land is located, and to "Housing Sponsors" that have notified the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") of their interest in surplus land. The NOA was also sent to local parks agencies and school districts. The Property (Exhibit 1) was among those for which either no responses were received by entities receiving the notices of availability or for which responses were received and good faith negotiations ended after a period of not less than 90 days without agreement to price and terms. On December 10, 2020, the City issued RFP 20-159, by which it sought proposals for the development of various vacant properties in Santa Ana. The properties that were the subject of RFPs for Sale of Vacant Properties are leftover parcels from full parcel acquisitions that were originally made for street -widening projects now completed. The full parcel acquisitions were made following the City's environmental analysis that the project impacts could not be adequately mitigated if only partial acquisitions were made. When full acquisitions are made under these circumstances, some leftover land ordinarily results. These parcels have never been intended for the City's use, have remained vacant since project completion, and have always been held for the purpose of exchange only. To provide an opportunity for all interested parties to submit proposals, the RFP was solicited electronically via the City's web -based electronic procurement system, PlanetBids. Through the PlanetBids online portal, vendors may register to receive notifications on all current and future City projects, as well as download RFP documents, Purchase and Sale Agreements — RFP 20-159 Sale of City -Owned Vacant Properties December 21, 2021 Page 3 receive project updates, and submit proposals electronically. A total of 254 vendors were notified of the opportunity via PlanetBids, and 80 prospective bidders downloaded the RFP document. On March 24, 2021, 8 proposals were received, accompanied by $47,560 in deposit checks (approximately 1 % of proposed bid amounts) from four vendors. The proposals were evaluated and ranked by a review committee composed of representatives from the Public Works Agency, Community Development Agency, Planning and Building, and Finance and Management Services. Ranking criteria included Project Team, Experience, Proposed Development Concept, and Financial Capacity; Bid Amount and Deposit Verification; Fiscal and Economic Benefit Analysis; and Community Benefit for both Commercial / and Professional zoned proposals. The ranking of the firms is as follows: Parcel ID Entity Proposed Development Purchase Price 1 C-1 Southwest Group Properties, LLC Retail Drive-thru $950,000 2 C-6 Santana Green Development, LLC Multi -Tenant Restaurant or Energy Charging Station $900,000 Total $1, 850, 000 Distribution of Funds Estimated Proceeds for Bristol Improvements $1,189,750 Estimated Proceeds to be Returned to Funding Agency (OCTA) $660,250 The top -scoring proposals demonstrated necessary capacity and presented a diverse mix of development concepts consistent with current zoning as required by RFP. The bid offers received were reasonable and within industry standard and the above - recommended proposals were found to provide the best value for the City of Santa Ana, both in the short-term and long-term benefits. Approval of Recommended Actions No. 1-3 will enhance community satisfaction with reduction in neighborhood blight, revitalize neighborhoods, and reduce liability to the City and community in general (Exhibits 2 and 3). The estimated economic development benefits that will occur as a result of activation of these vacant lots will promote revenue generating developments, create new local jobs, and generate new sales tax revenues. Disposing of these properties will generate sustainable City general fund revenues with increased property tax rolls and additional utility user taxes collected on an annual basis in perpetuity. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In 1990, the City Council approved the Bristol Street Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR No. 89-01). On June 3, 2014, the City Council approved an Addendum to the FEIS/EIR pursuant to the California Purchase and Sale Agreements — RFP 20-159 Sale of City -Owned Vacant Properties December 21, 2021 Page 4 Environmental Quality Act to account for several minor design modifications in Phase 11113. FISCAL IMPACT The revenue generated will be used to reimburse project expenditures and replenish grants used on acquisition costs, as well as fund additional public improvements along Bristol Street. The sale of these properties would lead to other significant economic activity spurred from the development of various projects on each parcel ID, such as creating local jobs, sales tax boosts, and increased property tax that will be realized by the City in perpetuity. In addition, the City will be relived from the continued maintenance, clean up, and liability from owning these vacant parcels. Approval of the recommended Appropriation Adjustment (Recommended Action No. 3) will recognize the receipt of $1,189,750 into the Select Street Construction Fund, Sale of Land revenue account (No. 05917002-57071) and appropriate the same into the OCTA Bristol Street Corridor Improvements Fund, Improvements Other Than Building expenditure account (No. 05917661-66220). These funds will be available for expenditure on the Bristol Street Corridor Improvement Projects. The remaining proceeds of $660,250 will be received in the Measure M Street Construction Fund (Account No. 03201001-20215) for disbursement to OCTA, consistent with Cooperative Agreement C-1-2783.
