District says no bids received for house build; staff to follow up with interested parties
Summary
ROCORI officials said the district received no bids from its recent request for proposals to sell the district house; staff plan to contact previously interested parties, review what other districts do and consider alternatives such as arranging site moves or partnering with Habitat for Humanity.
The board discussed the district’s house‑build project and reported the recent request for bids drew no offers. Superintendent Kevin said staff plan to follow up with parties who previously expressed interest and will consult with district staff (including Mr. Howie) to understand why this cycle produced no bids.
Board members noted other districts have successfully sold similar projects and suggested staff explore differences in marketing, lot availability and the potential cost of moving a house off the district property. Staff said moving costs are a factor and that past buyers (including Habitat for Humanity in other areas) sometimes provide a ready avenue for sale when land is available.
No formal action was taken; the board asked staff to investigate, speak with interested parties and report back with recommendations for next steps.
Ending Staff will continue outreach and report findings at a future meeting.
