Council declares four city lots surplus to allow future RFPs for owner‑occupied homes
Summary
Council declared four long‑held city lots (1000 N. Redbud; 106 W. Lilac; 400 E. Lockheed; 402 E. Lockheed) surplus to enable future requests for proposals seeking developers to build owner‑occupied single‑family homes; staff said the city will not retain long‑term ownership but will solicit proposals and use scoring criteria for selection.
The Midwest City Council voted to declare four vacant lots as surplus property to allow staff to solicit proposals and select a developer to build owner‑occupied homes.
Staff said the lots—acquired from Oklahoma County after prior homes were demolished—have been city‑owned for several years and that declaring them surplus is the first step before issuing an RFP. "We would solicit proposals for what would be built on them and have a scoring criteria to select someone to transact those properties with," staff explained. The intent is to return the lots to residential use with single‑family homes that would be sold to private owners rather than retained by the city.
Council moved and approved the declaration; staff said they will return with drafts of the RFP and proposed contract documents once procurement details are prepared.
