Mr. David Childs <br />2 June 1982 <br />Page Five <br />(3) Briefly describe the methodology you will use to locate an interested/ <br />qualified deveZoper/deveZopers. <br />Response: <br />In summary, the following approach would be taken and tasks completed: <br />1. A thorough and detailed request for proposals would be formulated <br />by Northwest. <br />2. The RFP would be directly mailed to known, qualified developers. <br />(A list of developers would be assembled based upon past contacts <br />and projectsin which Northwest has participated.) <br />3. The project and RFP availability would be formally advertised in <br />Commerce and Business Daily. Corporate Report and the Metro area <br />Sunday newspaper c assified ads. Suni�q classified ads have <br />recently emerged as the most important source of such RFP's.) <br />4. Professional trade organizations such as the National Association <br />of Industrial and Office Park Developers (NAIOP) would be directly <br />notified. <br />5. The Minneapolis and St. Paul area Boards of Realty would be <br />contacted if approved and following HRA clarification of fee <br />policy. <br />6. Following distribution of the RFP; Northwest would organize a <br />specific meeting time where all interested applicants would be <br />invited to a presentation and explanation of the project and where <br />questions would be answered. This should facilitate placing all <br />interested parties in an equal footing for responding to the RFP. <br />7. Northwest would also be available by phone to respond to questions <br />which interested applicants might pose. <br />(4) Please describe how the Tax Increment District wiZZ be formed (who will <br />do it and are the costs included in your proposal?) <br />Response: <br />Northwest, under the leadership of Dan Wilson, will assemble the tax <br />increment district. Great care and caution will be exercised to insure <br />that all parcels included contribute to a positive financial picture. <br />This approach is now feasible in that recent legislation now allows. <br />public improvement projects related to the district to be undertaken <br />even though they are outside the district boundaries. <br />
