Request For Proposals City of Dunkirk BOA Marketing Project

RFP for City of Dunkirk BOA Marketing Project

The City of Dunkirk completed the Phase II BOA Study and was designated a BOA community in 2018. Dunkirk’s BOA boundary includes sites along Dunkirk’s waterfront, downtown, and industrial zones. The Study focused on the waterfront and downtown brownfields that would have the most economic impact if redeveloped. The BOA Study has given Dunkirk the direction that the City needed and is now at the point where the City is ready to market its brownfield sites and bring in private investment and redevelopment.

The proposed project would include hiring a consultant to help market these brownfield sites to local, regional, and national developers to attract a master developer and/or developers to the City. A consultant would review the materials and incorporate the results of the BOA into an Expression of Interest (EOI) document in addition to reviewing any other information generated about the subject sites. Ultimately, the goal of the proposed project will be to receive solid offers from substantive entities that have full knowledge of the issues they face in successfully completing a transaction and sustainably redeveloping an individual site, group of sites or the entire waterfront.
