The properties will be sold together "as is", with no interior access to structures permitted until a preliminary preferred buyer is selected. Potential buyers are required to conduct comprehensive due diligence, including independent inspections, surveys, zoning verifications, and permit investigations with both municipal authorities. The Request for Proposals (RFP), identified as Solicitation Number SB 25-01, opens on January 21, 2025, at 10:30 AM EST and closes on February 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types.

While the RFP documents do not specify an estimated total value for the property, potential buyers will be responsible for all costs associated with the purchase, inspection, and potential redevelopment of the site. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned, and there are no details about existing infrastructure integration requirements.
