SUBJECT: BLOCK 36 DEVELOPER PRESENTATIONS AND SELECTION
SUMMARY:
On November 16, 2015, the City Council authorized Staff to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for
development of a mixed-use project on the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Azusa Avenue,
commonly known as Block 36. The RFP was release on November 17, 2015 and responses were due on
December 15, 2015. Seven (7) proposals were received by the due date. Staff and the City’s consultant,
Kosmont Companies, reviewed the proposals and invited all seven (7) proposers to an interview. Two
of the proposers (AMCAL and Champion Development) withdrew from the process. On February 4,
2016, the City Council selected Council Members Gonzales and Macias to serve on an Ad Hoc
Committee to review the proposals. The Ad Hoc Committee conducted interviews of the remaining five
proposers on February 16 and 17, 2016.
After reviewing the proposals and conducting the interviews, the Ad Hoc Committee narrowed the field
to two (2) finalists and held a subsequent Ad Hoc Committee meeting on March 23, 2016 to discuss
each proposal. The Ad Hoc Committee was unable to reach consensus on which of the two (2) finalists
to recommend to the City Council. The two (2) finalists have been invited to make a presentation to the
City Council and to answer any questions regarding their proposal.
Following the presentations and questions, Staff is seeking direction from the City Council on which
developer to begin discussions with in order to bring back an exclusive negotiation agreement at a future
City Council meeting.
The two (2) finalists are as follows:
1)The Charles Company
2) Serrano Development
Attached are summaries of each of their proposals.
