Summary

Staff briefed the commission on a pending offer for 3920–3930 East Point Road, recommended a $117,490 survey/platting contract to consolidate parcels at 06 Street and 1603 7th Street, and reported the shipyard is preparing an RFI for the Southgate annex; commissioners gave consensus to proceed on the survey authorization.

Staff updated the Portsmouth commission on multiple property and redevelopment matters.

3920–3930 East Point Road: Staff said the city received a purchase contract from Ston Mod Financial Group for the combined site and that a revised agreement was submitted last week; staff hopes to present an executable contract at a future meeting. The transcript records the purchase price incompletely as ",995,000" and does not provide a fully legible dollar figure; staff will bring a finalized contract to a future meeting for formal action.

06 Street and 1603 7th Street parcel consolidation: Staff recommended using an architecture/engineering firm under the city’s annual services contract to perform boundary research, surveying and platting to consolidate parcels for redevelopment. The firm proposed a one‑time cost of $117,490, which staff said can be funded from existing contractual/other and development‑properties budget lines. Commissioners asked whether the firm is women‑ or minority‑owned; staff said they would research that detail. The commission expressed consensus to proceed; the transcript records no formal roll call vote, only agreement to move forward.

Southgate annex: Staff reported the shipyard is preparing a Request for Interest (RFI) to make the site available for private use; timing and exact area under consideration are still in flux. Staff said they will invite shipyard representatives to provide a formal update to the commission when available.

No final sales contract or formal procurement award was recorded in the transcript excerpt. Staff will return with contract documents or additional procurement details for formal action as needed.
