RFP – Real Estate Brokerage Services for Osceola Elementary School Property Sale

The School District of Osceola is soliciting qualified real estate brokerage firms to provide comprehensive services for the sale of the Osceola Elementary School property located at 250 10th Avenue, Osceola, Wisconsin. The property encompasses approximately 14.87 acres and a 72,560-square-foot building, and the selected broker will be responsible for property valuation, marketing, offer evaluation, negotiation support, transaction coordination, and final documentation, all aligned with the District’s goals of maximizing financial return and facilitating community redevelopment. Proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format no later than 4:30 p.m. on July 9, 2026, to Hunter Robinson at robinsonh@osceolak12.org, and must include Wisconsin broker license verification, proof of insurance, a detailed marketing and sales strategy, estimated timeline, communication plan, proposed commission structure, listing agreement terms, at least three references from similar public-sector or redevelopment projects, and a full conflict of interest disclosure. The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, modify or terminate the process at any time, and negotiate final contract terms including compensation and listing agreements with the selected firm. Evaluation of proposals will be based on several unweighted, qualitative factors including relevant experience, understanding of public-sector processes, marketing effectiveness, proposed fees, communication and responsiveness, demonstrated success with community-focused redevelopment projects, and alignment with the District’s objectives. There is no assigned scoring system or ranking of factors, and the award decision will follow a trade-off approach rather than a lowest-price technically acceptable methodology. All submitted materials are subject to Wisconsin’s Public Records Law and become the exclusive property of the District upon receipt. The selected firm must comply with Wisconsin real estate licensing requirements and be prepared to execute a formal contract only after successful negotiations. No contract value has been predetermined, and while the RFP specifies key submission requirements and procedural timelines—such as proposal review from July 9–13, possible interviews on July 14–15, and Board consideration on August 12—the duration of performance is undefined and will span from contract award through final closing of the sale. The District retains full authority to decide whether to proceed with a sale and is under no obligation to enter into any agreement even after selecting a preferred proposer.
