Scope of Work:
1.1. BACKGROUND
The City of Ocala (“City”) is seeking proposals from qualified development teams to design, develop and construct a creative new development project on approximately .45 acres of City-owned property located at the corner of 1749 W.

Proposed projects to enhance and compliment the surrounding amenities.

For historical information on West Ocala, visit the West Ocala History Webpage.

1.2. PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City is seeking proposals which strengthen and complement surrounding amenities and activities. The City will select a development team that demonstrates the ability to develop the project site consistent with the City’s vision and development objectives as described in this Invitation to Negotiate (“ITN”). The City will consider all creative proposals, including the following uses or combinations of uses:

• Single or two-family housing that adds to the area’s diverse range of housing options;
• Professional and business offices;

• Hairstyling shop (limited to three stations)

• Medical and dental offices;

• Other complementary commercial uses;

• Community uses.
The City prefers a mix of unique uses, including first floor active uses that are open to the public along Silver Springs Boulevard. Project components should complement and not compete with surrounding uses. We encourage inclusion of locally and regionally owned businesses within the mix of tenants.

All parcels are owned by the City. The City will consider several site control options, including sale of the project site, or other arrangements to be negotiated with the selected developer. The cost(s) and terms will be negotiated with individual builders/developers.

Proposers are encouraged to communicate any questions regarding this ITN by the deadline set forth for questions herein. All questions should be sent in writing via e-mail to the Buyer Contact identified. Questions and answers will be communicated to all proposers by issuing an addendum posted to www.bidocala.com.
