Economic Development Requests for Proposals
Downtown Western Art & History Museum
No submissions were received by the 10 a.m. Thursday morning, May 17, 2012, deadline and the Request for Proposals for the downtown western museum has closed.
History of the Project: The City of Scottsdale requested proposals for the possible development of a western art and history museum in downtown Scottsdale. The primary focus of this RFP was to select a competent organization to operate a to-be-built museum.
In preparation for a March 15, 2012 City Council decision regarding the extension of a reservation of bed tax as a funding source for the western art and history museum project, the City desired to learn whether proposers intend to submit proposals. The City issued the RFP Second Addendum, which required that persons intending to submit proposals give notice to the City no later than March 15, 2012 by noon.
The Second Addendum’s notification requirement has served its purpose by confirming the existence of proposers who intend to submit proposals complying with the RFP and the City now removes the notification requirement imposed by the Second Addendum.
The City has issued a Third Addendum to this effect. The Third Addendum is available for download here.
The Second Addendum to Request For Proposals for Western Art and History Museum Operator for To-Be-Built Museum is now available for download here.
The First Addendum to Request For Proposals for Western Art and History Museum Operator for To-Be-Built Museum is now available for download here.
Proposer suggestions were due to the City on February 1. The suggestions and the City's response to suggestions are now available for download here.
The RFP is available for download here.
An Optional Pre-Proposal Conference and Site Visit meeting was held on January 25, 2012. A copy of the Museum Pre-Proposal meeting minutes and PowerPoint presentation are available here.

WESTWORLD MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING
The City of Scottsdale has requested proposals for the possible development of a multipurpose building on a ± 40 acre site near the City’s WestWorld equestrian and special event facility in Scottsdale. While the multipurpose building was the primary focus of this RFP, proposers were allowed to include other land uses that would contribute to the economic success of the development.
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) was to potentially identify a project and development team to develop the facility. The City Council will make the determination as to which proposal, if any, the City will pursue, and the City reserves the right to not proceed with any of the proposals.
Two submissions were received by the April 5 deadline and are available directly below. The Greenbrier Southwest proposal is divided into three files due to its large size.
