Additional information and bid application forms can be obtained online at https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/statelandboard/requests-proposals-and-public-bids. Each parcel described above requires a separate cash bid or land for land exchange bid. The Board MAY consider a land for land bid that involves multiple parcels. The successful bidder will be required to purchase the authorized lessee owned improvements, if any, on the property as required by § 36-1-119. The State Land Board’s standard real estate contract will be used, as is. The contract is available online or upon request. The Board may require a survey at the winning bidders expense on these properties. The State Land Board reserves the right to require a best and final bid on each of these transactions.

 

The publication of this Notice during the week of April 24, 2017 begins a notice and public bid period during which sealed bids and/or written comments may be submitted to the Board. To be considered, sealed bids and/or comments must be received by 12:00 p.m. on May 29, 2017 (Bid Deadline), by the appropriate District office noted above each parcel.

 

Sealed bids must be submitted using the Board’s bid packet format and instructions. Each parcel has a specific bid packet and may be obtained by contacting the District Office or by going online to: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/statelandboard/requests-proposals-and-public-bids. Each bid packet response must be submitted with a $100 non-refundable fee and shall follow the submission requirements stated in the bid packet. Sealed bids received via facsimile or electronic mail will not be considered.

 

Board staff will open the sealed bids at 9:00 a.m. on May 30, 2017, at the District office noted above each parcel. If the agricultural lessee is in compliance with the lease, the agricultural lessee may preserve the right to match the selected bid price in accordance with C.R.S. § 36-1-118(4)(a) and (b) and § 36-1-119, by personally appearing at the bid opening or by notifying the District Office no later than the Bid Deadline. If the lessee exercises this right, a step auction between the lessee and all other bidders will take place at a future date. The Board reserves the right to reject all bids and withdraw the parcel.  Participation in the bidding process does not create any rights until the Board has approved the winning bidder and a contract has been fully signed by both parties. The successful applicant will be required to cooperate with the Board in complying with the mandates of § 36-1-118(4)(a) and (b) and § 36-1-119.
