SUBJECT: TCAAP Reuse and Public Sale Update
General Service Administration GSA Update
Mr. Legare has stated that the Army, together with the EPA and the MPCA, have agreed on the
land use controls that will be placed on the property until the clean up is complete. The land use
control remediation document (LUCRD) is being writing in to the IFB as part of the special
terms. According to Mr. Legare, the LUCRD was the last item that needed to be worked out in
order to complete the IFB. Once he has completed drafting the land use restrictions into the IFB
he has stated that he will send the draft to the City for review and comment.
Mr. Legare has stated that the Army is still considering a sealed bid, versus an online auction,
and that this would take place approximately 60 days after the release of the IFB.
On Wednesday, October 6, Staff had a conference call with Bill Harper, Chief of Staff for
Congresswoman McCollum. Staff provided Mr. Harper with an update of available information
pertaining to TCAAP, including the City's concerns regarding the Metropolitan Council's Draft
2030 Transportation Plan. A copy of the City's July 7, 2010, letter, and the GSA's August 18,
2010, response was sent to Mr. Harper upon his request. Mr. Harper indicated his desire to
remain in the loop on this issue, and his interest in assisting the City as needed.
