~iU~ .REGULAR MEETING APRIL 10, 2006 APPROVAL OF REQUEST TO REJECT PROPOSALS - FORMER OLIVER SCHOOL SITE DEVELOPMENT Ms. Tony Zozulya, Community and Economic Development, requested permission to reject all proposals for the above referred to project. Ms. Zozulya stated after reviewing the proposals and in .consultation with other City departments, the Division of Community Development determined that while the Partners in, Charity and Boschart Design Group proposal generally met the City's requirements for bidders, it failed to address a number of bid specifications and design considerations items outlined in the RFP document. The City is not able to transfer the land to Partners in Charity fora $1.00, which is below the minimum sale price of $38,250.00; allocate HOME funds, and provide infrastructure support, as requested by Partners in Charity and Boschart Design Group. In addition, the developers have indicated that the development will not incorporate the Oliver School artifacts, as required by the Historic Preservation Commission's Certificate of Appropriateness. Community Development has strong concerns about the developers' ability to complete the project given limited demonstrated experience and a lack of a pro- forma. Finally, it was concluded that the proposed design of town homes is not a proper fit for the neighborhood (the site plan does not match the town home floor plan), nor does the general town home design and garage orientation of the single-family units meet the intent of the mixed-use zoning district. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Mr. Inks and carried, the request to reject proposals was approved.
