Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) is soliciting proposals through Invitation to Negotiate 2026-081 for the acquisition, ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Cross Creek Mobile Home Park water and wastewater utility systems. The objective is to transfer these assets to a qualified entity, such as a utility operator or special district, that can ensure reliable service, regulatory compliance with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Public Service Commission, and long-term operational sustainability. The scope includes the transfer of water treatment facilities, wastewater infrastructure, and associated real property, while addressing known issues such as real property encroachments and a nonfunctional wastewater drainfield currently requiring hauling. The selection process is based on the greatest overall value rather than the highest purchase price, with evaluations weighted toward financial capacity and the quality of the transition plan. Respondents must provide a detailed timeline for the transfer of operations, strategies for uninterrupted customer service, and proposed capital investments for infrastructure improvements. The contract includes strict adherence to Florida public records laws, non-discrimination clauses, and environmental law compliance. Proposals are due by November 03, 2026, and must include a comprehensive breakdown of the respondent's operational experience, financial standing, and a proposed purchase price and deposit.
