Sale of Property (Huey Drive)

The Belton Independent School District (BISD) is seeking proposals for the sale of a 6.63-acre tract of land located on Huey Drive in Belton, Texas through a sealed bid Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The property, situated in the James P. Wallace Survey, Abstract 906, Bell County, will be sold "as is" without warranties, with BISD retaining all mineral rights. Potential bidders may be required to appear before the Board of Trustees to discuss their planned use of the property, and BISD reserves the right to include deed restrictions on future property usage. The RFP response deadline is December 3, 2024, at 10:00 AM CT, with a questions deadline of November 19, 2024, at 12:00 PM CT. Interested parties must submit comprehensive proposals and be prepared for potential evaluation based on factors deemed most beneficial to the district. The successful bidder will be required to provide a $500 earnest money deposit and will receive the property via a no-warranty deed.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to the solicitation. BISD, as a political subdivision of Texas, is not subject to real estate brokerage commissions or the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The district will cover the owner's title policy and half of the escrow fee, while the buyer will be responsible for survey costs, filing fees, and their portion of the escrow expenses. Notably, BISD will entertain land exchange options as alternative proposals to a cash purchase. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the district indicates they are seeking fair market value for the property. The sale includes comprehensive documentation such as field notes prepared by All County Surveying Inc., survey plats, and requires the successful bidder to complete additional documentation including a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire and Form 1295 Certificate of Interested Parties.
