Mr. David Childs <br /> 2 June 1982 Page Five <br /> (3) Briefly describe the methodology you will use to locate an interested/ <br /> qualified deveZoper/developers. <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 classified ads. (Sunday 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 will 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 />
