BACKGROUND
Over the next several months, the City and Redevelopment Agency will continue to
have discussions with the Navy on Tustin Legacy issues such as the acquisition of the
MCAS-Tustin site through the Economic Development Conveyance (EDC) mechanism,
leasing, caretaker services and environmental remediation. Acquired technical
knowledge about the project and the continuity in the City's interface with the federal
government and prospective developers is extremely important. While a MCAS-Tustin
Subcommittee of the City Council comprising Councilmember Saltarelli and myself was
previously recognized by the City Council, a more formal recognition of the
Subcommittee's role is now appropriate.
As previously described in a memorandum to the City Council on September 20, 1999,
Redevelopment Agency staff are issuing developer solicitations for three disposition
sites in the Tustin Legacy project for the purpose of City and Agency qualifying,

evaluating and ultimately selecti.ng Master Developers in each site. This approach is
consistent with the adopted MCAS-Tustin Business Plan and Disposition Strategy. The
three sites can be described as follows:
Medium-High Density Residential (EDC package #1)
· 25.3 _+ acre site, 16 to 25 dwelling units per acre.
· Adjacent to major roadway links, transit, and existing residential communities.
· Two-step competition: Submittal of Qualifications Statement is first step.
CommerciallOfficelR&DIIndustrial RFQ (EDC package #5)
· 248.8 _+ minimum acre site (with potential opportunity for additional 16.3 _+
acres.
· Opportunity for commercial master-development with diverse potential uses
to suit the market.
· Two-step competition: Submittal of Qualifications Statement is first step.
Commercial Retail RFP (EDC package #6A)
40.6 _+ acre site (with potential opportunity for additional 16.3 _+ acres).
· Highly visible site at major arterial intersection; excellent "big box" opportunity.
· Single-step competition: Request for Proposals.
The first two sites (EDC packages #1 and #5) will involve a two-step process; a Request
for Qualifications (RFQ) followed by a Request for Proposals (RFP). A one-step
Request for Proposal process' is being utilized for the Commercial Retail site (EDC
package #6A).
In the RFQ process, the first stage of the selection process is a review and evaluation of
responses to the RFQ. The focus of the review and evaluation will be on the
developer's experience in the design, financing, and construction of large projects of
similar caliber, and the development entity's financial strength. After the review of the
developer's qualifications, two to three finalists will be selected who will then proceed to
the second step of the selection process. During the second step, each finalist selected
through step One of the selection process will be required to formulate and prepare a
proposed Business Plan and pro forma in order to proceed through the completion of
the selection process. All respondents on the one-step RFP process for the
Commercial Retail site would also submit this requested information in response to the
RFP.
Attachment A is a brief summary of the Developer Selection Process. As noted in the
Attachment, a Technical Development Evaluation Team will assess the potential Master
Developer qualifications statements and proposals in response to the RFQ/RFPs. That
team will be comprised of City and Redevelopment Agency staff, outside consultants
with specific expertise in areas such as financing, etc., and the two member MCAS-
Tustin Subcommittee of the City Council. Prior to proceeding to milestone decisions
noted with an asterisk in the Attachment, a full briefing of the City Council and Agency
will occur.

myself be formally recognized as representing the City Council on the Evaluation Team.
