The Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (D\RC) follows a general format when
soliciting for Special Lease Proposals. Some of the criteria is standard language but often times
the SLP is structured to identify certain limitations that have unique application to a particular
property. In all situations, the awarding of a lease is justified on a variety of criteria. The "best"
overall proposal may not always translate to the proposal with the highest rate of return, although
proposal guidelines require a minimum lease value based on the appraised value of the property.
A particularly important aspect of the selection process is clear demonstration in the proposal that
the proposer has the financial ability and capability (qualification. experience, and training) to
perform the terms of the lease proposal. In some instances inyoKing complex proposals, an
evaluation committee is appointed by the D\RC to help evaluate. rank, and select the best overall
proposal The D\RC always retains the right to reject any and all proposals.
In conclusion_ a variety of criteria are used by the D\RC to select appropriate uses on school
trust lands. Relative to Section 36. the --highest and best use" has been determined by the
language of the adopted neighborhood plan. Any Spe-Jal Lease Proposals involving Section 36
will require strict adherence to the use, phasing, and performance standards of the plan.
Representatives of the DNRC will plan on attending the work session on this agenda item to
address any questions you might have concerning the NIOU or lease process.
