12. Town Objectives

The Town is interested in selling the Property to a Redeveloper who has the resources and commitment to development the site and return it to taxable use. The successful Redeveloper will agree to terms of the bid and enter into a Land Development Agreement with the Town.

The Town intends to select the proposal that represents the best overall value to the community, considering development quality, feasibility, experience of the development team, and proposed purchase price.

The selected Redeveloper will likely need permits from the Planning and Zoning Commission, an Encroachment permit from CTDOT, and Building Permits from the Building Department among possible others. The Town

Development Department can coordinate obtaining the necessary permits and approvals once the successful

Redevelopers are chosen.

13. Obligations of the Redeveloper

If a proposal is accepted, the Town and the selected Redeveloper will enter into a Land Development Agreement

(“LDA”) consistent with the terms of the awarded proposal.

The LDA will outline the full responsibilities of the Redeveloper related to the acquisition and development of the Property, including but not limited to surveying, site engineering, architectural design, permitting, utility connections or upgrades, construction, insurance, and any other information or actions required to complete the development.

a. Agreement Controls

The Redeveloper and its successors and assigns shall devote the Property to the uses and development program described in the approved redevelopment proposal and shall not materially deviate from such uses without the prior written consent of the Town.

The Redeveloper shall begin and complete development of the Property within a reasonable time period as established in the Land Development Agreement.

b. Obligation to Build

The Redeveloper shall be obligated, under the terms of the Land Development Agreement, to carry out the improvements described in the approved development proposal.

The Land Development Agreement will include performance milestones, including deadlines for property closing, permitting, commencement of construction, and project completion. Failure to meet these milestones may constitute a default under the Land Development Agreement and may result in remedies available to the

Town, including potential reversion of the property.

c. Disposition of Property by Redeveloper

Until the required improvements have been substantially completed, the Redeveloper shall not sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise convey the Property or any interest therein without the prior written consent of the

Town.

Following completion of the required improvements in accordance with the Land Development Agreement, the

Redeveloper may transfer ownership of the Property or portions thereof, provided that such conveyance remains subject to any restrictions or covenants contained in the Land Development Agreement.

d. Non-Discrimination Policy

The Redeveloper shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws relating to equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination. The Redeveloper shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, national origin, disability, or other protected status as provided by law.

e. Financial Responsibility of Redeveloper

The Redeveloper shall be responsible for all costs associated with the acquisition and redevelopment of the

Property, including but not limited to costs related to due diligence, consultants, studies, reports, tests, appraisals, architectural, engineering and legal services, construction, and site improvements.

The Redeveloper shall also be responsible for all costs associated with maintaining the Property following conveyance, including property taxes, insurance, and utilities, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Town.

14. Evaluation Criteria

All proposals shall be reviewed by staff to determine if the proposal conforms to submission requirements. Final selection shall be based on a review of a selection committee to be established by the Town.

Final Selection will be based on the following criteria:

a. Ability of the developer to successfully carry out the proposed development

b. Benefit to East Hartford residents and the long-term stability of the neighborhood

c. Conformance to the objectives of the POCD.

d. Financial strength of the proposal and ability to deliver product on proposed schedule

e. Proposed Purchase Price

f. Previous related experience including success of other projects

The Town shall not pay compensation to any person, whether a broker, finder or business agent, relative to the submission of a proposal, the award of the development rights, or execution of the legal documents with the selected developer. The selected developer will be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Town from and against any claims, causes or action, or liabilities for such compensation by a written indemnification satisfactory in form and substance to the Town.

Neither this invitation, nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute a representation of any kind or character. The Town disclaims any responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any materials supplied herewith.

Every developer who submits a proposal must do so based on the independent investigation by each developer of those facts, which each developer deems relevant.

The Town reserves the right to negotiate with the selected respondent regarding the final development program, purchase price, and development schedule prior to executing a Land Development Agreement. The

Town expressly reserves the right to reject any and all proposals.

Any selected proposals shall be brought forward to the Town Council. The Town Council has the authority to approve disposition and terms of disposition.

The purpose of the appraisal assignment is to estimate market value of the subject property as of the effective date of the appraisal. Market value is defined in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Seventh

Edition, published by the Appraisal Institute, as follows:

“The most probable price that a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:

• Buyer and seller are typically motivated;

• Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests;

• A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

• Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and

• The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale”
