1 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Redevelopment Opportunity West Bend, Wisconsin Q17-03, Site Redevelopment Design Services, TID 12 RFP Issuance Date: 1/6/2017 RFP Due Date: 2/24/2017 Project Overview The City of West Bend is soliciting proposals for the purchase and development of an eight-acre parcel in its downtown area. The City is seeking to transform the former industrial area into a mixed-use district that complements the central business district to the west, nearby residential areas and cultural facilities. The parcel is located on Forest Avenue and Water Street, providing a prime spot along the Milwaukee River and Eisenbahn State Recreational Trail. It is highly accessible and is less than a mile south of State Highway 33 and 2 miles northeast of Interstate 45. The parcel is zoned for mixed use (MXD) and is in Tax Incremental Finance District No. 12 (TID 12). The City of West Bend is seeking preliminary proposals from qualified developers for offices, commercial/retail space or high-density housing. A development of high quality architecture and design that is built within a year of approval is desired. Various incentive opportunities, including a very low purchase price option, are negotiable. Site History From the early 1900s through 2008, the site was occupied by the Gehl Company, now Manitou Americas, for their corporate headquarters and manufacturing of agricultural implements. The southern third of the parcel was used by the City of West Bend during the mid-1900s until Gehl Company purchased the portion in the mid-1970s. While the City occupied this portion, a fleet vehicle maintenance facility and municipal incinerator were present. The City of West Bend purchased the entire eight-acre parcel in 2010, as Manitou Americas moved to a new facility one block east. Page 1 of 4

A Phase II ESA was conducted in 2009 and resulted in the creation of WDNR BRRTS Case for historic hazardous substances and petroleum product releases (primarily chlorinated solvents) associated with the Gehl Company manufacturing facility. In 2011 the site was demolished. A Remedial Actions Options Report was completed during 2012 that recommended enhanced bioremediation utilizing injection wells and in-place capping of contaminated soil. In 2013 the city began a state-approved groundwater remedial action and monitoring plan which included injection of emulsified vegetable oil and biological culture. Three underground storage tanks were discovered in 2014 and were appropriately disposed of. All data indicates the groundwater remedial action has been successful in addressing the residual chlorinated VOCs impacts in the groundwater, including the two primary contaminants of concern, trichloroethene (TCE) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA). Subsequent groundwater monitoring continues on the site. The City of West Bend is currently requesting site closure from the WDNR and anticipates closure in The site has access to sewer and water service adjacent to Forest Avenue, and reconstruction of this infrastructure is a TIF eligible expense. A stormwater management plan has been adopted for this area.
