Thimble Creek Sub-Area Market Assessment and Potential Development Scenarios

REVISED RFP - CHANGED TO REFLECT A NEW DEADLINE TO RECEIVE PROPOSALS

BIDS DUE:  4/10/24 at 5 pm

SCOPE OF WORK AND BID SUBMITTAL:

Proposals in response to this RFP may be submitted to the City of Oregon City electronically to agriffin@orcity.org.

The project includes:

1. Stakeholder Engagement

Interview City staff and review recent pre-application conference notes for projects in the area that were not developed. Discuss identified barriers.
Convene a series of  meetings and/or focus groups with selected owners of property in the Thimble Creek area to understand their interest in selling their property/ies.
Identify private utility and fire jurisdictions relevant to the area.
City staff will take the lead in development of a Stakeholder Engagement Plan and provide support in terms of identifying property owners.

2. Existing Conditions and Feasibility Analysis

Gather data to establish existing conditions, determine buildable lands, identify zoning and infrastructure planning.
Review Oregon City Development Code/process – identify any potential barriers or outliers that deviate from the regional norm.
Complete a market feasibility analysis to determine the highest and best use of the properties in the context of the Thimble Creek concept plan. The market analysis should include regionally and locally significant industries that would benefit Oregon City, with the names of representative companies in each identified industry.  
 

3. Recommendations for Implementation, Funding Sources and Development Scenarios

Identify strategies and recommendations to attract industrial and commercial development that incorporates information gathered from stakeholders as well as the expert knowledge held by the consultant team related to economic and real estate development. This set of recommendations will include potential funding sources and property development scenarios. Development scenarios should include general information about recommended property and infrastructure requirements for certain industries.
In addition to the target area, there are additional parcels of commercial industrial (CI) zoned land elsewhere in the City, including along Molalla Avenue. Please indicate if any of the identified barriers in the target area also apply to other areas of the City with CI zoning.

PLANHOLDER LIST:

Note - The Planholder List module does not work perfectly. If a paper copy of the complete planholder list is needed, keep the following in mind:  Depending on the web browser, registrant’s may be added to the digital list; however, printing the planholder list beyond the first page may not print. One option is to convert the list to Excel.  This option may not work at all or may lead to a text document displaying one paragraph of text and no formatting: again, depending on the web browser being used.
