UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
REQUEST FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES:
DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN FOR
OFF-CAMPUS PROPERTY AT WALNUT STATION
The University of Oregon is soliciting proposals from professional
developers to create a multi-phased physical development plan
for UO and U0 Foundation property.
As currently envisioned, the project includes creation of a physical
development framework plan for the entire former Romania block
and the former 0D0T/DMV lands with a business plan for the
construction and ongoing management of this property. It is likely
that the fully developed property will consist of more than one
building which should be initially be placed on the UO’s Romania
property. The development framework plan will identify at least
two scenarios based on market forces (possibly combined with
university uses) for the properties for the next thirty years resulting
in ongoing income that pays for the cost of the land; relocation of
existing university uses, if needed; the development; and, ideally,
additional income for the UO.
Firms may obtain the RFP by registering electronically at the
following web address:
http://uplan.uoregon.edu/ConsSelect/Frameworkform.html
or may phone or write to:
Campus Planning and Real Estate
1276 University of Oregon
Eugene, OR 97403-1276
Telephone: (541) 346-5562
Proposals must be received in the UO's Campus Planning and Real
Estate office by 4:00 P.M. PST, Thursday, January 20,2011.

institution committed to cultural diversity and compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
