At these meetings, the concept of a Revitalization Plan for the center was presented to the property owners, and accepted by those in attendance. The intent of the Revitalization Plan was to significantly upgrade and renovate the 40th Street Shopping Center. Specifically, some of the proposed activities included: landscaping improvements, facade improvements, uniformed signage, parking lot reconfiguration, traffic circulation, and new lighting. From the onset, the Agency was to fund one-half(1/2) of the costs associated with the development of the Revitalization Plan (total cost was anticipated to be approximately $45,000), while the collective property owners would share in the remaining costs. The property owners granted conceptual approval to the plan, as well as their commitment for financial support. After obtaining Commission approval for the funding of the Agency's share of the Revitalization Plan, staff proceeded with requesting and obtaining the previously committed financial support from the property owners. Of the eight property owners involved in the project, only one (Mr. Richard Filanc, owner of the property which includes the TG & Y store) submitted the requested pro-rata share of the Revitalization Plan costs. The remaining property owners expressed an inability to financially commit due to the current economic climate, or changed their original position and are not interested at this time. At the November 15, 1993 Commission meeting, the Community Development Commission approved $45,000 in total Agency funding for the development of a Revitalization Plan with C & B Enterprises or another selected firm in the event that the approved professional services agreement was not executed by C & B Enterprises in a timely manner. C & B Enterprises failed to respond in a timely manner as required by Commission action. Correspondingly, staff terminated all further negotiations and initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the 40th Street project. Analysis On December 13, 1993, staff issued a RFP for the 40th Street Shopping Center project to twenty-four (24) consulting firms with experience in developing revitalization plans for commercial rehabilitation improvements. Five (5) consulting teams responded by the January 13, 1994 deadline date. The teams that responded are as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KJH:LML:1mp:40threv.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 03/07/1994 Agenda Item Number: DEVELOPMENT DEPAI /IENT STAFF REPORT Revitilization Plan for the 40th Street Shopping Center February 28, 1994 Page Number 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEAM PROPOSAL AMOUNT 1.
