The DNRC uses a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for issuing new commercial leases.  The RFP document provides details for the property, including minimum fee calculation, and other minimum qualifications such as lease term, market adjustment frequency, and annual fee adjustments.  It also establishes the format and content expectations for any proposal submitted for the lease.  A proponent is responsible for submitting a formal proposal that meets the specifications provided in the RFP document on or before the closing date.  

Properties that are in a “Now Accepting Proposals” status have an active RFP document and a closing date.  If you are interested in a listing that is not “Now Accepting Proposals”, please call or email the DNRC contact provided on the listing.  For general information on commercial leasing, contact Gary Zipperian at (406) 444-0915.
