Background
In February 2002, the HRA revisited the design objectives, concepts, and development
strategies in regard to the Downtown Riverfront Revitalization Project. A joint
meeting was held between the HRA and City Council to confirm that both governing
bodies have a mutual understanding of current redevelopment efforts within the
downtown. The current phase of the City's redevelopment process was to send out
Requests for Proposals.
Request for Proposals
Requests for Proposals, or RFPs, were sent to approximately 98 developers on March
8, 2002. The list of 98 developers was composed of local developers, a list provided by
Ehlers & Associates, and by request. The following items were included in the
Request for Proposal packets:
• Elk River Market Study Executive Summary (prepared by Maxfield Research,
Inc.)
• Elk River Housing Study Executive Summary (prepared by the Central MN
• Housing Partnership)
• Traffic Counts
Downtown Revitalization Project Update
• Concept Drawings and Narrative
• Disk with Downtown Map
• Map with Property Identification Numbers and Dimensions
• Downtown Zoning Information (Including Wild & Scenic District
Requirements)
• Summary of Public Comments
• Forecast for Historic Context Study
The purpose of the RFP process is for the City to contact qualified developers to
discuss the City's redevelopment concept(s) and program, which in turn will identify
developers for the qualification process. The HRA will chose developers to interview
based on the qualification process. The following is an approximate timeline of the
Request for Proposal process:
