Sale and Development of Real Property Located at 112 SE Gardens

The City of Burleson, located in Johnson County, Texas, is soliciting proposals for the sale and development of a 2.4531-acre parcel at 112 SE Gardens Boulevard through Request for Proposals (RFP) 2025-006. The procurement seeks a qualified developer to design, finance, construct, and manage a commercial flex development consisting of a minimum of five buildings, each ranging from 2,500 to 6,000 square feet. Evaluation criteria will be comprehensive, with 35% weight on project vision/development scenario, 15% on qualifications and experience, 20% on financial capacity, 20% on project cost and benefit, and 10% on anticipated project timeline. Proposers must demonstrate financial stability, provide detailed project sketches, and include references for similar projects. Key dates include a virtual pre-proposal conference on August 11, 2025, at 10:00 am, with proposals due on August 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The city may consider a Chapter 380 Agreement to provide economic incentives for high-quality development and will evaluate proposals to determine the most advantageous offer, potentially conducting interviews with the most qualified proposers.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The land is being offered at a sale price of $500,000, with the city's primary objective of supporting economic growth and creating vibrant community spaces. Proposers must complete several mandatory compliance documents, including the Offeror Acknowledgment form, which requires vendors to affirm they are not boycotting Israel, doing business with designated countries or terrorist organizations, discriminating against firearm entities, or being owned by citizens from restricted countries. Additionally, vendors must submit a House Bill 1295 Certificate of Interested Parties and a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire to ensure transparency in the contracting process. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the project represents a significant opportunity for developers to create a multi-unit commercial property in the Burleson market, with the potential for economic incentives and a strategic development partnership with the city.
