Purchase and Development of 3415 28th Street, Port Huron, MI 48060

The County of St. Clair, Michigan is seeking proposals for the purchase and development of a commercial property located at 3415 28th Street in Port Huron, which was previously the County Health Department. The procurement involves a 4.674-acre industrial-zoned site featuring a commercial office building of approximately 31,830 square feet, currently appraised at $560,000. Proposers must demonstrate financial capacity, development experience, and a comprehensive development concept that includes an economic vision for the property. A mandatory walk-through is scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., with proposal submissions due on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Interested parties must submit eight print copies and one electronic copy to the Purchasing Division. Evaluation criteria will include purchase price, financial capacity, development experience, proposed development concept, economic vision, and project schedule. Proposers are expected to provide references for similar projects and outline the anticipated economic impact on the community.

The request for proposals does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The County makes no warranties regarding potential hazardous materials on the property and places all preparation and response costs on the proposer. The existing facility includes a main building and two annex buildings with potential challenges such as aging mechanical and electrical systems, possible asbestos in insulation and floor tiles, and accessibility limitations. The final proposed agreement will be subject to approval by the St. Clair County Board of Commissioners, who reserve the right to waive irregularities, reject proposals, or award the contract based on their best interest. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the property's appraisal value of $560,000 provides a baseline for potential investment. The comprehensive facility assessment suggests that significant investment may be required to update mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and accessibility features to meet current standards.
