Town of Granby Request for Proposals - Sale or Lease of Town-Owned Property

The Town of Granby, Connecticut, located in Hartford County, is seeking proposals for the sale or lease of town-owned property located at 83 Salmon Brook Street. The property consists of 1.5 acres with a 1,900 square foot structure originally built in 1905 and expanded in 2014, which includes an additional 684 square feet of unfinished basement space. The site features a paved parking lot with 20 defined spaces and a gravel area capable of accommodating an additional 10 vehicles. Previously leased and operated as a restaurant until December 2022, the property has been vacant since the expiration of its most recent lease. The Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks interested parties to submit proposals that meet the overall social, financial, and development interests of the Granby community. The solicitation will be open from June 26, 2024, at 9:00 AM EDT to July 10, 2024, at 3:00 PM EDT, with two addenda already issued (dated June 11 and June 18, 2024), including a traffic study. Proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to benefit the community, with specific evaluation criteria not explicitly detailed in the RFP documentation.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating that all vendors are eligible to submit proposals. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned, and there are no stated requirements for integrating existing infrastructure or technology. The RFP does not provide an estimated total value for the contract or specify a budget range for the sale or lease of the property. Payment terms are to be specified by the vendor, with delivery terms set as Free On Board Destination. The Town of Granby purchased the property in 2011 and has experience leasing it for restaurant operations, suggesting flexibility in potential uses. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Abigail Kenyon, the Director of Community Development, for any questions or additional information about the property or the solicitation process.
