GSA New England Region <br /> August 18, 2010 - <br /> Patrick Klaers, city Administrator <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> 1245 Nest Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112-5743 <br /> Re: Comments for public sale <br /> Dear Patrick: t <br /> This letter is in response to the city of Arden Hiii°s ("City"') letter dated July 7, 2i i u <br /> regarding the City's comments on GSA's proposed terms for the transfer of a portion of the <br /> former Twin cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). We have maintained a diligent <br /> working relationship with-the City and other stakeholders to ensure a successful sale that <br /> promotes a comprehensive cleanup and reuse that will benefit the city and its neighboring <br /> communities. <br /> As part of our outreach, we have hosted two public meetings where the Government <br /> outlined the sale process for TCAAP. These meetings provided an opportunity for potential <br /> bidders to discuss the entire transaction and environmental condition of the property with <br /> representatives from the city, Army, GSA, Environmental Protection Agency, Minnesota <br /> Pollution Control Agency, MN Department of Transportation and Ramsey county. At these <br /> same meetings, potential bidders were urged to contact the city with regard to zoning and <br /> future land use. Furthermore, the Invitation for Bid (IFB) will contain similar instructions to <br /> bidders. <br /> The final IFB will address the City's comments with regard to cleanup, title transfer, local <br /> land use regulations and short and long term liabilities. The IFB will clearly outline the <br /> special'terms and conditions for the sale and provide the bidders ample time to complete <br /> their due diligence prior to bidding. A copy of the IFB will be shared with you in advance of <br /> the sale. we look forward to a continued collaboration with your team and other interested <br /> parties to achieve the stated goal of a timely and equitable divestiture of TCAAP. <br /> As always, we appreciate your direct involvement throughout this process. <br /> Since ely, <br /> i <br /> Kevin Legare, Realty pecialist <br /> Office of Real Property Utilization and Disposal <br /> Public Buildings Service <br /> cc: William O'Donnell, U S Army U.S.General Services Administration <br /> Thomas P.O'Neill,Jr.Federal Building <br /> 10 Causeway Street <br /> s <br /> Boston,MA 02222 <br /> www.gsa.gov <br /> a <br /> a <br /> j <br />
