Request for Proposals
Albert Lea Senior Center facility
The City of Albert Lea is conducting a holistic evaluation of its Senior Center, including its location at Skyline Plaza, 1739 W. Main St., Albert Lea, MN. The city convened a team of several community partners to conduct the evaluation, following a process set by the National Council On Aging/National Institute of Senior Centers.
In addition to improved access and compliance with the Minnesota Accessibility Code, the City of Albert Lea seeks to:
- Provide a Senior Center that continues to meet the programming needs of residents age 55 and older.
- Improve natural lighting, access to green spaces and access to services.
- Enhance the curb appeal of the Senior Center through exterior signage and other features.
- Be fiscally responsible to property owners who fund the center through taxes.
- Continue to offer a welcoming, secure and safe space for senior citizens.
The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals for the center’s long-term physical facility from the current landlord as well as entities interested in hosting the Senior Center.
