REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) FOR CONSULTANTS

FOR THE
PORT/NORTH RIVERFRONT LAND-USE STUDY

ST. LOUIS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI
July 9, 2010

1.0 Introduction
The St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) is a private not-for-profit corporation (501C4)
which serves as the economic development agency for the City of St. Louis, Missouri. It is the
umbrella organization for a number of Boards and Commissions, including the City of St. Louis
Port Authority, whose responsibilities focus on City development. Currently SLDC is seeking
an economic development Consultant to help the City maximize job creation and investment in
its North Riverfront industrial corridor.

Specifically, the Consultant will address growth opportunities for both the North Riverfront
Business Corridor (NRBC), which extends from just north of downtown to Maline Creek, about
5 miles upriver, and the Municipal River Terminal (MRT), located within the NRBC boundary
on the west bank of the Mississippi about 1.5 miles north of downtown (see Exhibit 1, locater
map).

After conducting market feasibility and land-use studies as well as infrastructure assessments for
the NRBC and the MRT, the Consultant will develop, where appropriate, an implementation
plan and marketing strategy to:
 promote a vibrant NRBC by attracting new businesses while retaining and growing
existing ones;
 expand the MRT’s role in regional, national, and global shipping;
 determine if the MRT and the Mississippi River can be catalysts for development in the
NRBC;
 generate new City and regional jobs;
 attract private investment to the City;
 provide new tax base and increase other revenue streams to the City.

1.1 North Riverfront Business Corridor

Spread across approximately 3,000 acres, the North Riverfront Business Corridor (NRBC)
includes the Municipal River Terminal as well as industrial, commercial, warehouse/distribution,
and other enterprises (see Exhibit 2, NRBC aerial photo). Major users include Procter &
Gamble, Interstate Bakeries, Covidien (formerly Mallinckrodt Chemical), Norfolk/Southern
Intermodal Yard, Dial Corporation, Performance Food Group, Wunderlich Fibre Box, Duke
Manufacturing, St. Louis Produce Market (the region’s wholesale produce market), Green Street
Properties, Con-way Freight, and Affton Trucking. The NRBC supports approximately 10,000
jobs.
SLDC desires to build on the recent successes and ongoing investment in the NRBC which
includes significant reinvestment by major industrial anchors and renewed interest in the area by
private developers. In 2003, an SLDC planning consultant wrote a North Riverfront Business
Corridor Master Plan for the southern two-thirds of the NRBC. For the current project, the
Consultant will examine all 3000 acres, focusing on about 900 acres of underperforming land
scattered throughout the NRBC with the goal of reestablishing the NRBC as a premier location
for commerce and industry in the region.

The following capital improvement projects will facilitate development in the NRBC (see
Exhibit 3, NRBC capital improvements map):
 Adelaide Street bridge rehabilitation, $7.4M, to be completed August, 2010 (Missouri
Dept. of Transportation [MODOT] project);
 Carrie Avenue Improvements, $2.8M, construction begins fall of 2010, to be completed
by August 2011 (SLDC project);
 Cass Avenue/I-70 access ramps to new Mississippi River Bridge, $57M, construction
started in May, 2010 (MODOT, see Exhibit 4, Bridge access);
 new Mississippi River Bridge; total $670M project to be completed in December, 2013
(IDOT and MODOT, see Exhibit 5, Bridge);
 Hall Street upgrade, $11M, funding applied for.

1.2 Municipal River Terminal

As defined by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Port of Metropolitan St. Louis (PMSL)
comprises port facilities on both the Missouri and Illinois sides of a 70-mile stretch of the
Mississippi River. It is America’s second largest inland port by trip-ton miles, third by tonnage,
is the northern most lock- and ice-free port on the Mississippi, and handles 33M tons of bulk
freight annually. It includes all of the City’s riverfront.

The City of St. Louis has over 19 miles of shoreline. Along this frontage, on City-owned land,
the St. Louis Port Authority has 49 lease arrangements with various users, including the operator
of the 27-acre Municipal River Terminal (MRT), the only public, general purpose docks on the
Missouri side of the PMSL. Approximately 2.2M tons of bulk freight cross the MRT annually,
about half its two-dock capacity (see Exhibit 6, MRT aerial photo). Major throughput includes
salt, grain, chemicals, project steel, coal, and scrap metals

The Consultant will look at ways to modernize and expand the MRT (see Exhibit 7, MRT docks
aerial photo), where SLDC is pursuing the following capital improvement projects:
 South Dock Rebuild, $20M, now out for bid, to be completed late 2012;
 Palm Street sewer/outflow replacement, $7.1M, in design, construction tentatively
scheduled for 2014 (Metropolitan Sewer District project; Palm Street runs parallel to
Branch Street, one block to the south);
 North Dock Upgrade, $6M, funding applied for;
 Middle Dock Construction, $23M, funding applied for;
 Yard Improvements, $5M, funding applied for;
 Branch Street Improvements (engineering only), $260K, funding applied for.

1.3 Regional Transportation Infrastructure
St. Louis has significant regional assets (see Exhibit 8, assets):
 six Class One railroads (BNSF, CN, CSX, Kansas City Southern, Norfolk/Southern,
Union Pacific) and four short lines;
 seven Interstate Highways (I-44, I-55, I-64, I-70, I-170, I-255, I-270);
 six intermodal facilities (BNSF International, CSX International, Norfolk Southern
International, Tri-City Regional Port District, Triple Crown Services, Union Pacific
Intermodal);
 five civilian airports, including Lambert-St. Louis International Airport in St. Louis
County, MO, and, near Belleville, IL, MidAmerica Airport and Scott Air Force Base;
 key location on America’s Inland Waterway system of ports and associated facilities (see
Exhibit 9, Inland Waterway).

The metropolitan area also benefits from its central location, within a day’s drive of one third of
the US population.

Drawing upon these bi-state advantages, the Consultant will look at ways to:
 identify value-added growth, i.e., manufacturing, processing, warehouse and distribution,
3rd party logistics, and other businesses that could develop from NRBC and MRT growth;
 position St. Louis to relieve train and truck congestion in Chicago;
 get long-haul trucks off roads and onto the region’s rails and river;
 attract new businesses that depend wholly or in part upon Inland Waterway facilities;
 promote “green” and other growth industries seeking river and rail transport and a central
location;
 improve supply-chain logistics for existing NRBC businesses;
 identify opportunities where businesses would find value in the NRBC because of the
existence of transportation infrastructure, manufacturing, and distribution assets.,
 draw raw materials and other goods from Latin America and the widened Panama Canal
to MRT and NRBC businesses;
 meet possible US Dept. of Defense (DOD) transport needs.

Consultant will also evaluate potential for containerized shipping at the Port of Metropolitan St.
Louis. Consultant will examine intermodal options across the area in general, with an emphasis
on what role the MRT and the NRBC could play. Potential concepts may depend upon tracts of
land elsewhere in the City and/or across the bi-state region. A major intermodal hub in St. Louis
will connect the region to global commerce. It will also create jobs and investment in the City
and region and enable some of that trade to stay here, supporting local and regional companies.

1.4 Deliverables
The Consultant will provide the following deliverables:
 market feasibility and economic impact studies;
 identification of opportunity sites for economic development in the NRBC and along the
19-mile St. Louis shoreline;
 assessment of existing and needed infrastructure;
 assessment of “green” improvements to enhance recreation while reducing environmental
pollution, road and rail congestion, and flooding;
