The following information shall be included in the Proposal:
- Name of Respondent, address, telephone number, email address, and contact person;
- Whether the Respondent is a city, state agency, municipal corporation or other governmental subdivision of the state located within the boundaries of the District;

Except as otherwise provided herein, any bid containing contingencies based upon non-compatible general plan amendments, zone changes, proposed density changes, alternative land uses, or non-applicability of City, County, state, or federal ordinances or statutes may not be considered.
The Proposal should describe in detail intended use(s) of the Site. The District may not consider a Proposal that presents a risk of not being fulfilled because of unrealistic expectations of the Respondent as to land use approvals by the City, County, state, and federal agencies. Except as discussed previously, any Proposal proposing a land use which requires a conditional use permit, zone change, is contingent upon known or pending ordinances, or which is highly controversial or problematic may cause the Proposal to be rejected.

- Deposits
- Final Agreement
Processing of all applications for federal, state, County, City, and other agency approvals and permits, if any, and satisfaction of conditions of those permits and other approvals are the sole obligation and responsibility of the Respondent and shall be at the Respondent’s sole cost and expense.
Each Proposal shall be accompanied by a Twenty Thousand Dollar ($20,000.00) good faith deposit (“Initial Deposit”) in the form of a cashier’s check payable to the District. The Initial Deposit shall be held by the District in uncashed form until final acceptance of a Proposal is approved by the Board.
Upon execution of a definitive purchase and sale agreement, the Initial Deposit shall be credited against the purchase price and shall be considered non-refundable.
A final purchase and sale agreement between the District and the successful Respondent shall be executed within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the Board’s acceptance of such Respondent’s proposal. Failure to execute a final agreement shall, at the discretion of the Board, be deemed a termination of the Board’s acceptance of Respondent’s Proposal.
