I. INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW
Pursuant to California Government Code §37420 et seq., the City of Carlsbad (the "city")
is exploring the potential sale of the real property owned by the city located at 3701
Catalina Drive in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California and
commonly known as the Old Fire Station No. 3 (the "Subject Property"). The purpose of
this RFP is to explain the requirements and procedures for the submission of formal
proposals from parties interested in the acquisition of the Subject Property.
II. BACKGROUND AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property
In February 2016, the Carlsbad Fire Department relocated from the Subject Property to
the recently constructed Fire Station No. 3, located in the Robertson Ranch
neighborhood. Upon relocating, the Carlsbad Fire Department's use of the Subject
Property ceased, at which point the Subject Property became surplus and no longer
required by the city. The Subject Property has a lot size of 12,092 square feet, and is
developed with a 2,127 square foot building. The building on the Subject Property was
built in 1976 where it operated uninterrupted until the opening of the new Fire Station
No. 3. The building is a two-story structure located in a residential neighborhood, and
has five (5) bedrooms and three (3) bathrooms, with two large roll-up garage doors in
the front and rear that allow vehicular access to and though the garage. All
measurements are approximations and must be field verified by Respondents. The
Subject Property will be sold in an "as is" "where is" condition. Prospective
Respondent(s) will be required to undertake their own independent inspection and
investigation of the Subject Property.
