REQUEST FOR LEASE PROPOSALS
CITY OF BRONSON- CEMETERY FARM LAND
The City of Bronson will accept sealed bids for the leasing of approximately 16.5 acres of farmland in the City of Bronson commonly referred to as Cemetery Farm Land. The City of Bronson does not own irrigation equipment currently on the site nor is there a well on site from which water is drawn for irrigation.
The City of Bronson retains the right to develop the site for municipal use. During the term of the lease, the City reserves the right to sell or otherwise develop the land. If such development occurs, the City will provide as much notice as possible to the tenant and will pro-rate lease obligations accordingly. Redevelopment will be coordinated to avoid the removal of planted crops between April 1 and October 15.
The City is willing to consider agreements for a five year lease period. Payments shall either be made annually or semi-annually. Tenants are obligated to become familiar with and observe all local, state, and federal regulations.
Proposals shall be submitted by 10:30 am on April 5, 2024. The City of Bronson reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids for any reason and to seek modifications to the proposals deemed in the best interest of the City of Bronson. A formal lease outlining the details of these specifications will be drafted at that time.
Proposals shall be submitted to:
The City of Bronson
Attn: Cemetery Farm Land Lease
141 S. Matteson Street
Bronson, MI 49028
