RFP-ROC-260000002314-1 | 27.02 Disposition of Real Property

Rochester Community Schools is soliciting proposals for the disposition of its former Administration Building located at 501 W. University Drive in Rochester, Michigan, a three-story, 89,716 square foot property situated on approximately 4.34 acres. The sale is conducted on an “as-is” basis with no obligation for repairs or improvements by the seller, and the purchaser is solely responsible for all due diligence, including environmental assessments, structural evaluations, compliance with federal, state, and local regulations such as Part 201 of the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, zoning requirements, and building codes. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the BidNet Direct portal no later than August 31, 2026, and must include the required Proposal Form and Purchase Agreement, along with proof of financial capability, including bank statements or lender commitments, and an earnest money deposit equal to 2% of the proposed purchase price. Evaluation of proposals is based on a holistic trade-off process considering financial strength of the proposer, community benefit and intended use of the property, quality and feasibility of the business plan, development approach including zoning compatibility, and the experience and past performance of the development team, with no formal scoring system or assigned weights. The seller reserves the right to award to the proposal deemed most beneficial to the district, which may not necessarily be the highest offer. The agreement is subject to governmental immunity protections, and all documents related to the transaction are subject to disclosure under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act. The purchaser must disclose any familial or business relationships with school district representatives and is fully liable for any environmental conditions, remediation costs, and regulatory compliance post-closing. No federal acquisition regulation clauses apply, and the transaction does not involve standard government contracting elements such as CLINs, AACs, TAS codes, or CAGE/UEI requirements. The process excludes set-asides and socioeconomic preferences, and the property will be conveyed via Covenant Deed upon full payment at closing, with the agreement non-transferable and non-recordable without the seller’s prior written consent.
