About this opportunity

The City of Bay City, Michigan is soliciting a Request for Proposals (RFP #26-0924) for an industrial/manufacturing development opportunity involving the purchase and development of a 7.52-acre vacant site located at 1325 N Farragut. The site is zoned for light and general industrial use and is strategically positioned near commercial corridors and major highways. Proposals are due on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with the city seeking a developer capable of promptly installing infrastructure and preparing the site for development. Evaluation criteria will include proposal quality, developer experience, financial capability, project approach, and financial consideration, utilizing a comprehensive point system. Key objectives include creating a well-designed, economically sustainable industrial project that generates jobs and strengthens the local tax base. The city's primary requirements include purchasing the property "as is" and committing to installing all necessary infrastructure within two years. Developers must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in site development, financial stability, and a clear vision for industrial/manufacturing utilization.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The 2022 appraised value of the property is $419,000, with potential financial incentives available, including Brownfield Redevelopment Financing and an Industrial Facilities Tax Exemption that could reduce property taxes by approximately 50% for 1-12 years. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The site offers potential for significant economic development, with the city prioritizing proposals that demonstrate strong financial backing, experienced development teams, and a commitment to creating meaningful economic impact. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the city is seeking a fair market purchase price and a developer capable of making substantial infrastructure investments. The project represents an opportunity for a qualified developer to transform a vacant industrial site into a productive economic asset for Bay City.
