Request for Proposal

Request for Proposal - Purchase & Removal of Grindstone Island Cottages. Full RFP here. Proposal due July 10th.

Project Summary / Background
In December 2018, the Thousand Islands Land Trust (TILT) acquired the 67-acre Rusho property on Schoolhouse Road, Grindstone Island Clayton, NY 13624. As a part of the property
sale, specific terms and conditions were negotiated in an effort to outline the future use & management of the property. Currently, there are (4) structures located on the property: a main cottage, a bunk house, and (2) sheds / outbuildings.


At this time, TILT has made the decision to not utilize the structures and begin the process of removing them from the property, returning the land to its natural state. TILT has developed this Request For Proposal (RFP) in order to obtain closed bids for the purchase and removal of the (4) described structures and their contents. This RFP is open to the general public, with all bidders having the option to submit closed bids for (3) package options.
