Notice of RFP-MOCR202514 – Surplus Property: Basin Rd Subdivision (Evanston, NS)
The Municipality of the County of Richmond (MOCR) has declared the Basin Rd Subdivision, PID# 75190801 & PID# 75190819, located on Basin Rd., Evanston, NS, surplus and will consider proposals from proponents for the purchase of the property. This property is currently not a core asset of the County and therefore would benefit more from development of the site as opposed to holding the land for future municipal use.
The detailed Request for Proposals is available from the Provincial Procurement Services Web Portal at https://procurement-portal.novascotia.ca/ or may be requested electronically by contacting the undersigned. Not necessarily the lowest or any bid will be accepted.
Request for Proposals may be submitted in a sealed envelope marked “RFP-MOCR202514”, or in an email to the undersigned with the subject line to read “RFP-MOCR202514”, no later than 2:00 pm on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025.
