SALE OF AMAFCA PROPERTY
The AMAFCA Board of Directors has approved the negotiated sale of a parcel of property known as the Sacate Blanco Channel containing approximately 0.60 acres. The property is not needed by AMAFCA as it no longer meets the threshold to be considered a regional drainage facility. The appraised value of the parcel is $16,700.
The parcel is adjacent to a larger, privately held parcel of approximately 107 acres west of Unser Blvd., south of the Amole Arroyo. The legal description of the parcel is: a certain parcel, being a portion of tract 4 of the Amole Channel rights of way, as the same shown and designated on the plat thereof, filed in Bernalillo County Clerk’s Office on December 11, 2009, in Book 2009C, Page 171.
Purchaser of the property has agreed to pay all closing costs and the appraised value of the parcel.
It is anticipated that final AMAFCA Board approval for the transaction will occur at regularly scheduled October 22, 2026, Board meeting.
Any interested persons may submit a written proposal to purchase the property no later than October 11, 2025.
*Why do we request contact information? Occasionally, after publication of an RFP has begun, there are addenda to the RFP to answer questions brought up by those who are thinking of submitting a proposal or to make other changes or clarifications, including changing the date proposals are due. If we know you are interested in submitting, we can get a copy of the addendum to you. If we do not know that you are thinking of submitting (i.e., you received the packet from a third party), we will not know that you are considering a submission and will not be able to get the addendum to you. This is why we have you request the full RFP by email, rather than simply making the entire packet available on our website for download.
