I. INTRODUCTION
The Boise Redevelopment Agency is offering a unique development
opportunity - a hotel facility located in the heart of Boise's
newly revitalized downtown. The selected developer will be
provided the exclusive right to negotiate with the Agency in
preparation of a Disposition and Development Agreement {DDA) for
the property.
This growing city in the mountain west has recently fulfilled a
twenty year promise to its citizenry - the revitalization of its
downtown. Several new office and retail projects have been
completed, historic structures have been renovated with more
underway, and two new public parking garages have been built along
newly reconstructed streets and walkways. A long awaited
convention center is also under construction. Toward completion
of the eight block redevelopment program, the Agency and the City
of Boise have pledged $22 million of funding for open space,
streetscape, and parking facilities as outlined in an approved
parking plan and surface improvements plan.
Several projects remain available for developers who wish to take
advantage of downtown Boise's renaissance, including a first-class,
urban hotel adjacent to the new convention facility. The
Agency desires the project to be of a style and quality that is
consistent with a first class, urban hotel. Developers should
consider the following items in their design:
A range of 250 - 300 guest rooms or suites, or combination of
both thereof
Full service room service
Lounge/Bar
Atrium
Exercise area, Sauna, Jacuzzi, Health Club
Gift Shop
Valet, cleaning service, Laundry
Full service restaurants
Meeting space should be designed to compliment the
adjacent convention center
Concierge as appropriate
This Request for Proposals includes a description of the community
and the specific site, and outlines the submit tal process. If
interested, developers are encouraged to contact the Agency for
the full submission package.

II. COMMUNITY ENVIRONS
BACKGROUND
Boise is Idaho's capital city and is located in Ada County. It
is the largest metropolitan area and the business, financial,
professional, transportation, and cultural center of the Gem
State.
The "City of Trees" is surrounded by a wealth of recreational
opportunities. Cold, clear water from the surrounding mountains
feed the Boise River system. On this system are Lucky Peak,
Arrowrock, and Anderson Ranch Dam reservoirs, all of which store
the water that has helped make the Treasure Valley one of the most
fertile agricultural regions in the world. Boiseans need only
travel a few miles from the city's edge to enjoy a gamut of water
sports, or simply walk to the river's edge to fish for brown or
rainbow trout in the heart of town.
GEOGRAPHY
The geological forces that created the Treasure Valley resulted
in foothills that sweep up from the city of Boise to mountains
7,600 feet in altitude. The area is characterized as mountainous
and desert, on the western edge of the Rocky Mountains. The plain
in which most of city is located is at about 3, 000 feet in
elevation. The geology of the area also includes a very large
concentration of geothermal wells, springs, and hot creeks
throughout the foothills. The rugged mountains within minutes of
the Boise area offer endless opportunities for hunting, camping,
skiing, hiking, fishing, and sightseeing.
DEMOGRAPHY
Boise City/Ada County is the only Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area (SMSA) in the state. The current population of
the Boise-Ada SMSA is approximately 204,000, while that of the
market area is estimated to be 375,000. The large market area
includes counties in southwestern Idaho and eastern Oregon. The
population forecasts call for 250,000 people in the SMSA by the
year 2000. During the 1970's, the population growth was largely
fueled by in-migration that accounted for 67% of the increase.
Natural increase was responsible for the balance. The situation
is exactly reversed in the 1980's, with natural increase the
principal force for population increase.

The average number of persons per household in Ada County in 1987
was 2.67. This represents a decline from the 3.12 in 1970. The
rate of marriages per 10, 000 people is about the same in Ada
County as in the u.s.--10.5. The rate of births is above the U.S.
average, and the death rate is below the national average.
BUSINESS
Boise is a center for corporate and governmental headquarters.
It is recognized as the only metropolitan area of less than one
million population to have four major national or international
corporate headquarters: Albertson's, Inc. (supermarkets); Boise
Cascade Corporation (wood and paper products); Morrison Knudsen
Corporation (engineering and construction); and the J. R. Simplot
Company (frozen foods, phosphates, and cattle). It is also the
headquarters site for Micron Technology, Inc. (one of the two U.S.
semiconductor manufacturers), T J International (specialty
building products), three major divisions of Hewlett-Packard
Company (disc memory, Boise printer, and network printer
divisions), and Ore-Ida Foods, Inc. (packaged and frozen foods),
a subsidiary of H. J. Heinz. These corporations employ more than
10, 000 people in the Boise area. Other major area businesses
include Zilog (computer products), Robert Comstock Leather (an
international fashion concern), and Sears, Roebuck and Company,
which has recently announced plans to expand its regional credit
office. There are a large number of local supporting and related
businesses. Each year, over the past six years, about 250 new
businesses have been formed in the Boise area.
The Boise area sees retail sales of more than $1.1 billion per
year, a rate of $14,682 per household. For fiscal year 1988 (July
1, 1987, through June 30, 1988), total sales in Ada County were
in excess of $3 billion. Boise ranks in the top 200 communities
in total retail sales. Another major ingredient in the local
economy is the infusion of almost $100 million per year in tourist
dollars. Manufacturing, corporate headquarters, services, and
government are the backbone of the Boise area economy.
EMPLOYMENT
Ada County accounts for 20% of the state population and 21% of its
labor force. Employment in the manufacturing and services sectors
is growing steadily, while mining, agriculture, and government
have remained steady or have declined somewhat. Unemployment in
Ada County has declined to around 3%. Additionally, the Boise
area draws from surrounding counties for its labor force. Labor
statistics for Ada County and six adjacent counties show a
projected labor force of about 152,000 and an unemployment rate
of 5.5% for Fiscal Year 1989.

TRANSPORTATION
Boise is strategically located for reaching western markets. It
is serviced by seven major national and regional airlines
(including Alaska Airlines, America West Airlines, Delta Airlines,
Empire Airways, Horizon Air, United Airlines and United Express),
36 motor freight trucking companies, 12 air freight and package
express companies, and four air courier services. Interstate
Highway 84 allows one-day motor freight service to major northwest
and western markets. Most of these markets are only an hour to
two hours away via air carriers, and the U. S. Customs Service
maintains and office at the Boise airport. Boise is better
serviced by air transportation than cities substantially larger.
It offers direct flights to major western airline hubs, making
Boise a one-stop access to national markets. Additionally, Boise
is served by the Union Pacific Railroad, AMTRAK, and nine charter
and rental bus services.
MEDIA
There are 17 radio stations, four commercial television stations,
one PBS television station, cable television, one daily newspaper,
four weekly newspapers, and a bi-monthly magazine called Boise.
UTILITIES
Electricity and natural gas rates in the Boise market area are
among the lowest in the U.S. This applies to residential,
commercial, and industrial service. The Boise area also has the
largest geothermal district heating system in the U.S., which
provides the opportunity for additional utility savings related
to space heating. Landfill rates are also among the lowest in the
U.S. Sewer, water, and telephone rates are comparable to those
prevailing in western communities.
GOVERNMENT
Boise is the state's capital city and county seat for Ada County.
Boise City is served by a full-time mayor and six part-time
council members. Both city and county governments are pro-business
and are committed to maintaining a quality living
environment. Both governments have joined the business community
in forming a "partnership" to ensure a growing and healthy area
economy.

State taxes are patterned after the IRS code. Idaho has an 8%
corporate tax rate on all taxable income. There are no corporate
franchise or inventory taxes. Tax credits available are a 3%
investment tax credit and a new employee tax credit.
EDUCATION
The Boise area is serviced by two public school districts
comprised of 45 elementary schools, nine junior high schools, and
five senior high schools. Additionally, there is a parochial high
school and 13 parochial and private elementary and secondary
schools. Students in these districts are guided by exceptional
teaching staffs and school administrators and place well above the
national average in many recognized key indicators of academic
success. Eighty percent of the Boise area students complete high
school (nationally 66%), and over 40% are enrolled in college.
The Boise Public Library serves Boise area citizens from its
building in the heart of the educational/cultural complex that
also includes Boise State University, the Boise Art Museum, and
the Idaho Historical Museum. The Library also ha& a branch in the
new regional mall, Boise Towne Square. Its services range from
those traditionally associated with libraries to those designed
to meet current needs and interests. It circulates computer
software, compact disks, audio/video tapes, and LP's, as well as
books, and has an extensive collection of newspapers, magazines,
and government documents. Special collections include large-print
books, books-on-tape, and an Idaho/Northwest collection.
Boise State University, the largest university in the state, has
more than 11,000 students enrolled in over 100 academic and
vocational-technical programs. Located on the University ·campus
is the Simplot/Micron Technology Center that houses interactive
instructional classrooms, teleconferencing rooms, an extensive
computer-assisted instructional system, and artificial
intelligence research stations. The Center also includes a
satellite uplink for satellite-based communications and the NASA
electronic data base services. Additionally, students may now
earn engineering degrees from the University of Idaho at Moscow
while attending classes on the Boise State campus, where a .new
college of Technology is under construction that will house the
University's vocational~technical programs, graduate engineering
instruction, and business incubator. University and business
leaders are working together to establish a shared computer
manufacturing facility in the College. (See information
enclosed.)
The Boise area is also served by two private colleges: The
College of Idaho in nearby Caldwell and Northwest Nazarene College
in Nampa.

CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT
Boise has a rich cultural life, which includes a philharmonic
orchestra, dance, and opera companies. All have regular
performance seasons. The richly endowed Morrison Center for the
Performing Arts, built at a cost of $16 million, and the BSU
Pavilion bring a wide range of national, international, and
regional performers to the area. Local theater companies are also
supported by the community. The Boise Art Museum hosts national
and regional displays, as well as providing an excellent
environment for local artists' work. Boise is also the home of
the Idaho Shakespeare Festival.

III. SITE ENVIRONS
The Agency has recently accelerated revitalization of its eight-block
downtown redevelopment area. Conceptual plans of selected
developers have been prepared for nearly all of the redevelopment
area within the constraints of the adopted Framework Master Plan
and Design Guidelines. The Plan calls for a combination of new
development and historic renovation of office and retail uses
within a public improvement infrastructure of open space,
streetscapes, and parking facilities.
The southerly four blocks are the primary location of new
construction. First Interstate Center is a 150,000 square foot
office building which has just been completed at a cost of $15
million. The Agency also constructed a 190 space parking facility
below the office complex which opened in December 1988.
The Greater Boise Auditorium District is building the new, $10
million convention center. Its name, riBoise Centre on The Grove"
describes its prime location at the center of downtown, adjoining
the city's new public plaza and adjacent to the hotel site. The
convention center will be a state-of-the-art "conferencing" center
for large and small group meetings. The building will include a
26,400 square foot, multi-purpose hall that can be subdivided for
banquets, exhibits and meetings. The full-service kitchen will
be able to serve up to 2,000 people in this space. In addition
to the big conference hall, a sloped floor auditorium will hold
322 people. And another 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting
space will be available for partitioning into 2-11 rooms. Boise's
new convention center will also offer complete teleconferencing
capabilities. It will be able to both receive and transmit
international video communications. The new convention center
will support Boise's already excellent reputation for hosting
unique, high quality gatherings, and be complete in 1990.
North of the hotel site is the Idaho First Plaza, a 274,500
square foot, 19 level office facility constructed in 1978 to house
the headquarters of Idaho First National Bank and Moore Financial
Group.
Public improvements south of Main include the development of open
space and parking facilities necessary to accommodate the private
development activities and to create the auto-free environment
envisioned in the Plan. Central to this concept is the recently
constructed 31,000 square foot public plaza, The Grove, at the
intersection of vacated Eighth and Grove Streets. The plaza
provides the focal point of the super block with year-round
scheduled events designed to emphasize The Grove's role as a
community gathering place. Both Eighth Street and Old Grove
Street are designed as pedestrian streets.

North of Main Street, much of the original urban fabric remains.
Within this four-block area, the Agency's design team has
conceived the renovation of historic buildings with reuse
potential, intermingled with new infill development of primarily
retail use. Several of these projects are complete or nearing
completion including the Mode Building which is 42,500 square feet
of retail and the Capitol Terrace Building which is 43,000 square
feet of retail and food service.
The Alexander's Building, located on the southwest corner of Block
2, has recently been renovated at a cost of $1.2 million, with
grade-level retail of 4,500 square feet and upper level office of
6,600 square feet. 700 Idaho Tower, located at Idaho Street and
Capitol Boulevard, is a 12 level office facility currently
undergoing a $1.3 million renovation.
Public parking north of Main Street will be accommodated in two
above-grade structures with grade-level retail. The Capitol
Terrace Parking Garage was completed in October 1988, and will add
518 parking spaces to downtown. A second garage is proposed on
the Eastman site which is scheduled to begin construction in early
1989.
Surface improvements north of Main Street include full streetscape
development, with pedestrian amenities, along the peripheral
streets of Capitol Boulevard, Bannock Street, and Ninth Street;
development of a landscaped transit mall along Main and Idaho
Streets from Capitol Boulevard to Ninth Street; and continuation
of the Eighth Street auto-restricted zone from Main Street to
Bannock Street.
The hotel site occupies a key site (87,218 square feet) in the
project area. Currently one of the most active and vi tal
locations in Downtown, the site is envisioned as an integral part
of the development project, taking advantage of the Eighth Street
auto-restricted zone. An intensive design goal was used on the
Eighth Street auto-restricted zone. Removal of through vehicular
traffic allows for the additional provision of art pieces, water
features, and passive and active people places along a core that
will connect the State Capitol mall on the north to the popular
Eighth Street Marketplace to the south.

IV. DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
In development of Block 22, the Agency has identified several
objectives. The selected developer will be expected to assist the
Agency in realization of these objectives during the development
process.
a. Hotel Size and Type
b.
The Agency desires to have a hotel developed
of approximately 300 rooms. Architectural
style should be that of a major city-center
hotel with appropriate furnishings and
amenities that reflect a quality downtown
environment, and should consider the effect
the hotel will have on surrounding
developments.
Conformance with the Plan and Design
Guidelines
The Plan was adopted by the Agency as a
contextual guide for the redevelopment
program, incorporating recommendations that
allow for the economic and environmental
success of the project. The Guidelines
provide the necessary design elements that
public and private development activities must
adhere to in order to achieve conformance with
the Plan. Both the Plan and the Guidelines
will be used by the Agency to evaluate
development plans of the selected developer.
c. Retail Use
The developer is encouraged to include at-grade
retail along the north and west lines of
the site as may be appropriate to a hotel
development.
d. Office Use
The Agency selected an office developer on
December 1988. The developer selected is
Cantlon Properties Inc. and generally proposed
an office tower of 150,000 to 180,000 square
feet with some parking on-site. The developer
of the office has agreed with the Agency that
the hotel development is the priority
development on the site and office
