Request for Proposals
The City is seeking proposals for a resident curatorship at Flanders Mansion.
The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea (City) is requesting proposals from individuals interested in entering into a resident curatorship agreement with the City for the rehabilitation, historic restoration and use of the City’s property known as Flanders Mansion (Mansion), located at 25800 Hatton Road in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
A curatorship is a public-private partnership in which private individuals donate their time, skills and financial resources to rehabilitate and restore historic buildings located on government-owned land in exchange for the long-term rent-free use of the building. The prospective curator for the Flanders Mansion will be required to rehabilitate, restore, and maintain the Mansion, at his/her own expense, in exchange for the rent-free use of the Mansion as a single-family residence for a term of twenty (20) years.
SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL
Individuals interested in this curatorship opportunity are required to submit a proposal that includes the components listed in the Request for Proposals.
Proposals submitted without these elements will not be considered by the City for evaluation (i.e. the City will deem the proposal “non-responsive”). Prospective curators are advised to submit proposals that are well organized, detailed, comprehensive and clear so as to ensure a thorough evaluation.
