Museums
Offices
Parking spaces
Public facilities
Other rental needs
Requests for Proposal (RFP)
Leases are procured in accordance with the City of Frederick real property disposition policy, Resolution Number 12-02 (PDF). The City may issue an RFP or advertise the space for lease. RFPs are advertised on the City Procurement web-site, the Facilities web-site and potentially in local print and/or online newspapers and trade publications.
RFP responses are scored and evaluated, tenants may be asked to clarify their proposal and submit a Best and Final Offer. To insure fairness, proposals are kept strictly confidential during the evaluation process. All leases must receive final approval from the Mayor and Board of Aldermen before they can be executed.
Inspections
The Facilities Manager and City Departments may conduct, when necessary, inspections of leased properties to ensure that tenants are complying with lease terms.
