About this opportunity
La Plata County has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the OMPO/Schluter Redevelopment Project, seeking a qualified developer to renovate the historic Old Main Post Office (OMPO) and redevelop the adjacent Schluter property in Durango, Colorado. The county requires a comprehensive development plan that includes a minimum of 16,000 square feet of office space and 50 parking spaces for county use, with additional spaces potentially dedicated to community benefits. Developers must submit qualifications by November 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM MST, focusing on creating a mixed-use development that may incorporate affordable housing, a multi-level parking structure, and spaces for living, working, and community engagement. The project involves a pre-development agreement with an anticipated term ending December 31, 2027, and potential renewal options. Evaluation criteria will likely include the developer's ability to navigate historic preservation requirements, provide innovative conceptual ideas, and demonstrate financial feasibility.
The RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, but the county values a collaborative approach that benefits the community. The property, currently valued at $5,000,000, will be managed through a ground lease arrangement, with the developer responsible for non-county uses of the property. Funding is expected to come primarily from the developer, though the county may support grant applications and contribute labor and staff expertise. The project aims to transform underutilized county-owned land into a valuable community asset, with the selected developer expected to work closely with county officials through multiple stages of conceptual development, including public meetings and presentations to the Board of County Commissioners. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests significant investment potential for the right developer.
