Surplus Sale of City-Owned Property - 3425 Christensen Road

The City of Cheyenne, Wyoming is conducting a sealed bid surplus sale of city-owned property located at 3425 Christensen Road in Cheyenne. The procurement seeks qualified buyers to acquire a 5.06-acre residential property appraised at $490,000, which includes a 2,912 square foot, four-bedroom, two-bathroom berm house constructed in 1995, a 2,400 square foot metal shop building, a 480 square foot wood-frame shop building, and various outbuildings and equipment storage structures. The property, originally acquired by the City in April 2020 for $455,000 as part of the Christensen Road Overpass Project, is no longer required for municipal purposes and is zoned Agricultural A-2 under Laramie County jurisdiction. All City departments, including Board of Public Utilities, Engineering, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Planning and Development, Police, Public Works, and the Treasurer, have reviewed and approved the disposal. The award shall be made to the responsive bidder submitting the highest sealed bid offer, with the property conveyed in "as-is, where-is" condition on a fee simple basis with clear and marketable title. Critical deadlines include a non-mandatory property preview and walkthrough on April 29, 2026, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am; a question submission deadline of May 1, 2026, at 5:00 pm; addendum responses due by May 4, 2026, at 5:00 pm; sealed bid submissions due May 11, 2026, at 2:00 pm via the City's eProcurement Portal; and bid opening conducted via Zoom meeting on the same date and time. Following bid opening, the selected agreement will proceed through City Council referral on May 26, 2026, Finance Committee review on June 2, 2026, and final City Council approval or disapproval on June 8, 2026.

The City has not established any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation based on organization type or disadvantaged enterprise status. All qualified buyers are eligible to submit bids provided they meet the submission requirements, which include a bid deposit of $1,000 in the form of a cashier's check, certified check, bank money order, or personal/company check, and a Letter of Prequalification from a Mortgage Lender or Letter of Verified Funds from a Financial Institution demonstrating financial ability to close. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in this procurement, as the sale represents a one-time surplus property disposition rather than an ongoing service contract. The buyer shall assume all closing costs, including title work, appraisal, title insurance, survey, and recording fees, with the closing agent fee split equally between seller and buyer. The City reserves the right to reject all bids if an acceptable offer is not received, and unsuccessful bidders' deposits will be returned promptly, while the successful bidder's deposit will be held until closing; failure to close will result in forfeiture of the deposit to the City. The anticipated award value ranges from above the $490,000 appraisal to no defined maximum, as the sealed bid format seeks the highest responsive offer with no reserve or minimum price requirement.
