REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
RFP26-003 REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER RIVERGATE
- PALM DISTRICT PROPERTIES

The City of New Port Richey’s Community Redevelopment Agency is seeking to retain a qualified, highly creative, and motivated development entity to purchase approximately 5.73 acres of CRA-owned, and in negotiation, property (the PROPERTY) and to implement a desired and approved project (PROJECT).

The City of New Port Richey (City) has secured $1,600,000 in funding through a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) grant to support essential infrastructure improvements. In that respect, proposals must fully incorporate construction of an inundation pond with the following grant funded elements:

• Construction of a stormwater treatment basin with a minimum capacity of 0.625 acre-feet
• Installation of approximately 900 linear feet of 42-inch stormwater pipe
• Construction of supporting manholes and outfall structures
• Demonstration that stormwater from the full drainage basin will be effectively treated, with clean water discharged to the Pithlachacotee River.

Specifically, the CRA is looking to add to recent investments in the District including Keiser University, Comfort Inn & Suites, and a public parking garage, with additional mixed-use residential, retail and commercial buildings that will support more activities and uses, and attract additional residents and visitors. As part of a planned redevelopment project, the CRA envisions a 5-story residential community with an inundation pond but remains open to unique concepts.
