I'm dying to see the so far out of the know, deep pocket investors who come running out cash in hand ready to submit proposals after an official RFP is sent. Boy I can't wait. . .   .    . After all the press Khan has given the city when it comes to the Shipyards I find it very hard to believe no one in the know, and with the means, has not heard about this golden property available in Jacksonville, Fl. Sure you may get a few Killashee Investments types that will propose a 1,000ft tower etc., but where are the means? Everything after the announcement is just a formality, due process sort of deal but I believe this to be a done deal on the hush hush side. If there was anyone out there willing and ready to go all out on the shipyards then why the hell let Khan get all the shine now? I'd be in front of the papers just as the Jaguars are. I'd be announcing plans at press conferences the same as Khan. Wouldn't you? Why isn't this happening?...where are they now?

Who knows how many people approached the city with smaller plans, only to be turned away, or ignored completely.  We know of at least 1, Intuition.  Hard for them to even get a call back, then the city told them to scram basically.  So maybe there have beena hundred offers that have gone ignored.  Maybe each just wanted a small piece of the Shipyards for a plan, but the city's handling of it's land inventory has been abysmal at best.

QuotePretty sure ay least one RFP  has been issued on this parcel in the past, but nothing real ever came from it.

I think that was just for activation of the land in the meantime. 

So I said to him: Arthur, Artie come on, why does the salesman have to die? Change the title; The life of a salesman. That's what people want to see.

It's been absolutely horrendous timing concerning the upcoming shipyards announcement and that Liberty Street collapse.

Not really

DeCamp from the Mayor's office has been very clear.  Statutes require an RFP, even if it is merely perfunctory.  As to others "winning" the RFP based on subdividing into small parcels, there is a difference between an RFP and a bidding process.  So forget it.  The RFP is basically the equivalent of getting a home inspection after you have a contract on your house.

umm...no!

The RFP process will ask for interested parties to propose development, timing, and financing plans.  It will be a very similar process to the one just concluded by JEA on the old Southbank Generating Station site.

Right on. If there are actually any that come forward with plans after the RFP I sure hope it's enough to at least be taken seriously enough that it forces Khan to modify his plans if they are not up to par, enough to win out. It feels too late to even go back and divide the land which obviously should have been discussed around the time of intuitions inquiries, and that sucks. So now we just wait and hope for the best next week.

Tomorrow's the day that we finally get some details on Khan/Lamping's plan.

Can't wait to hear what they propose.

I am interested in seeing what is presented.

The cynic in me remembers being a student at UNF and discussing the "billion dollar mile" Shipyards project in 2001 in class.

I'm anxious especially after seeing the Everbank Club Seat renovations posted today on Jaguars.com. Khan really gets things done period.

Sounds like the Adams is almost certainly part of the proposal.

Yep, Lamping called the Adams group personally to invite them to today's event.

But are you prepared for the whine fest that will most likely ensue?  ;)
