INTRODUCTION/STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Redding Regional Airport (RDD) has approximately 554 acres of land available for pasturing

livestock and growing agricultural crops on airport property. The purpose of this Request for

Proposals is to determine the best user of airport property to safely and effectively conduct

livestock pasture and agricultural operations on the specified airport property and to select a user

which provides the best prospective financial return to the City of Redding Airports Division for

use of airport property. The City of Redding Airports Division anticipates awarding a five-year

lease agreement, with one (1) five-year option to extend for the use of airport property for livestock

and agricultural purposes. Prospective livestock and agriculture operators will be expected at all

times to meet and comply with airport security and safety requirements, as well as operate in

accordance with all applicable general, federal, state, city or local permits specific to farming, if

applicable.

The scope of work and activities in this opportunity shall include, but are not limited to, the

following:

• Annual winter dryland crops grown on all farmland and harvested no later than June 30th

of each year. Farmland kept free of excess vegetation including manzanita.

• Livestock shall be kept within designated pasture area(s) at all times. Pasture maintained

free of downed trees and excess vegetation.

• Maintenance of existing agricultural infrastructure including cattle fencing and the removal

of brush and weeds, on and near fencing.

• Occupy and use the specified airport property in full compliance with all federal, state,

county, and local rules, regulations and requirements in effect, and as amended, at the

Redding Regional Airport.

• Ensure farming is kept out of the Runway Safety Area Environment using best

management practices and potential visible barriers or markers.

Responsive proposals will include proposals for annual rent per acre at a minimum of $15.00 per

acre per year for pastureland and at a minimum of $25.00 per acre for non-irrigated crop land for

the first twelve-month period after which annual rent will be subject to a yearly three (3) percent

increase rate. Proposed acreage should be based off the attached map from the existing agriculture

lease.
