Boerne City Council members are continuing the search for a firm to sell the old city hall building at 402 E. Blanco Road, expanding the criteria to seek candidates who have “national experience and marketing reach.”
The city council rejected all bids for qualification late last month to add the new criteria to the request for qualifications, noting any firms which previously had bid can resubmit under the new criteria requirements.
“We’ve had discussions in here before about potentially selling that building,” Boerne Mayor Tim Handren said after an executive session. “We made an attempt at that prior. We did recently do an RFQ and we had a couple of responses, but in our discussion during executive session we wanted to see just a little bit more information in these responses for RFQ. Where we got to is we’d like to see a little more of how the property will be marketed and sold in the market space, and for that reason we want to reject the RFQ responses and reissue the RFQ with a couple of changes to it.”
