Birthday Parties REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST The City of Merritt is inviting Expressions of Interest from parties’ interested in leasing an aviation hanger and surrounding land located at 4494 Airport Road. The City is seeking a long term tenant that will put the hanger to the highest and best use that will benefit the community. The City will expect a tenant to enter into a lease agreement and assume responsibility of the land and hangar building. The site should be considered “as-is” and the cost of any approved improvements to facilitate tenant activities will need to be borne by the tenant. In addition to the lease rate, the successful respondent should also expect that any resulting lease agreement is a net agreement and the lessee can expect to pay additional charges such as building maintenance, utilities, taxes if applicable, insurance charges etc. All ongoing costs of maintaining the facility will be the responsibility of the lessee for the duration of the term.
