Agenda Item 
XI. B.  Bid Award for RFP 25-19 for Property Located at 2201 Decatur Pike 
 
Overview 
The city recently acquired about 15 acres of land during 2024 to expand Regional Park. On that 
acreage is a 2,258 square foot single family house built in 1991 and located in a B -3 zoning 
district (Intensive Business District) . The city does not need the house and is interested in 
disposing of the house and sufficient land through an advertised competitive sealed bid, 
advertised public auction, or other legal means. Attached are a plat of the house on 1.08 acres 
(Lot 1) that was surveyed during June 2025, a  floor plan, assessment data indicating the house 
has a value of $215,400, and a zoning map. 
 
This matter was discussed during the April 7, 2025 work session and the April 15, 2025 regular 
session. During the April 15, 2025 regular session, the council voted to approve a resolution to 
declare the house and 1.08 acres of land as surplus city propert
y and authorized city staff to 
dispose of the property through an advertised competitive sealed bid with a minimum bid of 
$275,000 based on a May 2025 appraisal.  
 
The bid was issued on June 20, 2025, a pre -bid meeting held on July 8, 2025 with only one 
person attending, and the bid deadline was July 22, 2025. On the bid deadline date, no bids were 
received. Since no interest was shown in this commercial property, the city council authorized 
the property to be rezoned from B -3 to R-2 (Medium Density Residential District) . After the 
property was rezoned, the property was re -bid 
with a minimum bid of $249,000 based on a 
recent appraisal or best offer. On the bid deadline date of January 13, 2026, one bid was received. 
Attached is the bid tabulation form. These proceeds will be used to defray the cost of relocating 
the Parks & Recreation staff into the SE TN Trade & Conference Center.  
 
Action to Consider 
Motion, second, and majority vote are needed to accept the bid for $100,000 and authorize the 
city attorney to prepare all necessary documents to transfer title.
