Individual bid packages (Attachment C) containing submittal directions, bid forms, and purchase and sale agreements will be available upon request, and bid submittals will be received until 4:00 p.m. on September 11, 2017. Setting the public meeting date for September 12, 2017 will allow for three weeks for the publishing of notices, additional marketing, the receipt of bid submittals, and staff preparation for the public meeting.
