 Request for Proposals for Lucerne Hotel
1. INTRODUCTION.
The County of Lake is inviting proposals from qualified proposers for a purchase; a long-term lease to
purchase; or long-term lease of the property known as the Lucerne Hotel, located at 3700 Country
Club Drive, Lucerne, 95458 in Lake County, herein after referred to as the Property. Site area is 7.07
+/- acres and the Property contains approximately 50,000 +/- square feet (s.f.), with approximately
37,000 +/- s.f. on the upper levels excluding the unfinished basement (first floor). Assessor Parcel
Numbers: APN 034-182-03 and -04 (Lucerne Hotel) and APN 034-867-01 through 07 (vacant lots).
Zoning is Planned Development Commercial District with Design Review Combining District, Parking
Combining District, and Floodway Fringe Combining District (PDC-DR-P-FF). The County of Lake’s goal,
hereinafter referred to as the County, is to act in the best interest of the public while maximizing the
economic and community viability of the Property. The County is seeking proposals that will ensure
a sustainable use of the Property which, whether through sale of the property or through lease,
would ensure operation and maintenance in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in
this Request for Proposals (RFP).
Lake County lies within the Pacific Coastal range, and is approximately 110 miles north of San
Francisco, 110 miles northwest of Sacramento, and 70 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Lake County
is bounded by Mendocino County to the west; Yolo, Colusa, and Glenn Counties to the east; and
Sonoma and Napa Counties to the south. This majestic and unique property is approximately two
hours from Sacramento and the Pacific Coast, and almost three hours from San Francisco. Lake
County is home to Clear Lake, the state’s largest natural freshwater lake and consistently ranks at the
top of the cleanest air in the country and is given an “A” ranking by the American Lung Association.
Lake County has the highest solar potential in the state as it rarely experiences coastal or valley fog,
which translates into 265 days of sunshine.
Lake County is distinguished by its many lakes and beyond; it is a landscape of natural beauty.
Majestic Mount Konocti, the ancient towering volcano and Lake County’s largest park at 1520 acres,
provides a dramatic counterpoint and tremendous vantage point to look out over all of Clear Lake.
Known as one of the top bass fishing ‘capitals’ of the United States, Lake County is a huge attractant
for professional bass tournaments and all kinds of fishing enthusiasts. Lake County boasts a vibrant
regional trails system and access to Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument. Lake County’s
clean air and high elevations create such rich stargazing opportunities that the community is
exploring efforts to achieve a Dark Sky Community Designation. Lake County has long been known
as a farming community. Vineyards were originally planted in the 1870’s and the first pear orchards
in the 1880’s, some of which are still being farmed by the descendants today. This rich agricultural
heritage of wine grapes, pears, walnuts and many other crops is a strong economic engine for the
county and has also created a growing farm to table movement.
Lake County is rapidly gaining world-wide recognition for its emerging wine industry; with seven
American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) Lake County grapes and wines are coveted for their high quality
and uniqueness. Lake County is home to the world’s largest geothermal field, The Geysers. Lake
County’s geothermal industry provides sustainable, clean, and renewable energy for the state. Lake
County’s deep Native American history is reflected in the local Pomo culture as the direct
descendants of the Pomos who inhabited the Clear Lake area for over 11,800 years represent this
heritage today. Lake County Pomo Indians were fishermen and hunters and were known especially
for the intricate baskets made from tules that grow along the shores of Clear Lake and as well as
other native plants. There are seven sovereign nations of Pomo tribes residing in Lake County, and
four operate casinos. These casinos provide visitors and residents opportunities for gaming, hotel
rooms, cultural events, entertainment, concerts, as well as hosting local community meetings.

2. A VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF THE LUCERNE HOTEL.
The County of Lake purchased the Property in 2010 to fill the goals identified in the Northshore
Redevelopment Plan which identified primary goals of (1) preventing and eliminating blight, (2)
developing a conference/event center in the North Shore area, (3) providing an economic engine for
Lucerne, the North Shore, and all of Lake County. The Property was in a state of disrepair and the
County began renovations shortly after purchase. Renovations included major, but not complete,
remediation of plumbing, electrical systems, ADA compliance, elevator installation, parking, and
classroom construction to name a few. This renovation encompasses approximately 20,000 +/- s.f
more or less turn-key space which includes the lobby, some office space, three classrooms, sunroom,
and dining room. These spaces were very recently used for classrooms, meetings, and community
events. Several old hotel rooms were renovated on the main floor to serve as a demonstration for
the potential of the building. Local jobs were created and retained during the renovation process and
local businesses were given strong preference when vendors were selected to perform work at the
Property. Much of the Property is as yet renovated, including but not limited to, the basement (first
floor) and several wings of original and unrestored hotel rooms.
The development of a conference/event center on the North Shore was recommended through the
Northshore Redevelopment Plan, using a similar project in Humboldt County as an example, which
motivated private developers to construct lodging facilities nearby. The economic engine aspect of
the Northshore Redevelopment Plan included an educational component. The renovation process
which was undertaken at the Property was done to include classroom space for whatever educational
component may be determined and was not specific to any institution, but was integral to the original
goal for a multi-use facility for events, conferences, and educational opportunities.
The County invites Proposers to envision utilizing this extraordinary building for a use which would
be an economic generator for the community. Each proposal should reflect the County’s desire to
have a Proposer who provides a high level of return to the community when purchasing or operating
and maintaining the Property and related activities in a fiscally responsible manner.
A number of educational, vocational, and commercial uses for the building might include, but not be
limited to: Lodging establishment; Professional Office Space; Educational endeavors; Rural
Educational Center; Culinary Academy; Event and Conference Center; Hospitality Training facility;
Research facility; Limnology research facility; Tech Campus; Viticultural and Enology Center; Health
field; Environmental Studies; and others as proposed which will be evaluated based upon the
potential for a beneficial outcome. These suggestions do not prioritize one use over another, but
outline potential proposals based on the social, economic, natural and built environments that make
up Lucerne and the greater community.
We invite significant and creative proposals for potential uses of the Property. The County’s
primary goal for this RFP is to secure the best and highest use for the Northshore/Lucerne/and
the county as a whole. The proposed use should provide collaborative, complementary, and
beneficial services to the community.

Proposals should be submitted in accordance with the requirements of this solicitation, which are
contained herein.

19. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

By your submission of a proposal, you agree to be bound by the following conditions:
19.1 To the fullest extent allowed by law, RFP’s will not be public record until discussion and
negotiations with Proposer have been completed, as such premature disclosure would jeopardize
the County’s and the Proposer’s negotiating interests. If any proposal contains trade secrets or other

10 | P a g e
 Request for Proposals for Lucerne Hotel
information that is confidential or proprietary by law, Proposer shall label all such pages with a
stamped annotation such as: “CONFIDENTIAL-PROPRIETARY TRADE SECRETS, DO NOT DISCLOSE”
and further, provide written notification to the County of its request to keep said information
confidential. A Proposer’s request for confidentiality must be made in writing and enclosed in the
envelope containing the proposal. The proprietary or confidential data must be readily separable
from the proposal in order to facilitate eventual public inspection of the non-confidential portion of
the proposal. Financial statements shall be permanently considered confidential, and therefore, not
available for public review.
19.2 Proposer shall indemnify and defend County and its officers, employees, and agents against
and hold them harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages, and liability for damages, including
attorney's fees and other costs of defense incurred by County, whether for damage to or loss of

County officials, employees or agents, arising out of, or connected with the use of any copyrighted or
uncopyrighted composition, secret process, patented or unpatented invention, articles or appliances
furnished or used under this Request and any subsequent Contract, unless such damages, loss, injury
or death is caused solely by the negligence of County.
19.3 Security and Confidentiality: To preserve the integrity of the security and confidentiality
measures integrated into County operations, any Proposer required to come in contact with
confidential County information in order to respond to this RFP and/or to perform the services
solicited, may be required to sign and submit a Confidentiality Statement. Successful Proposer’s
personnel and/or subcontractors, who may require periodic access to secured areas within the
County, may be required to wear security identification badges. Badges will be issued to individuals
only after satisfactory completion of a background check. Any such confidentiality and/or security
measures will be part of the contract.
19.4 This RFP supersedes all proposals, oral and written, and all negotiations, conversations or
discussions heretofore and between the parties related to the subject matter.
