(72) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Legal Holidays) after posting of the bid tabulation, or if the
bid tabulation is not posted, not later than seventy-two (72) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
Legal Holidays) after receipt of written notice from the City of the Intent To Award. The initial notice of
intent to file a protest shall state the basis of the protest and clearly indicate its purpose is to serve as the
initial notice of intent to file a bid protest. Failure to so clearly indicate its intent shall constitute a waiver
of the right to seek any remedy provided under the bid protest procedures.

For the purpose of computation, the initial notice of intent to file a protest shall be received by the Director
of Purchasing no later than four o’clock (4:00) P.M. on the third working day following the day of receipt

Any contractor/vendor/firm that has submitted a bid to the CRA who is affected adversely by the intended
decision with respect to bid award, shall file a formal, written protest within five (5) calendar days after

• Such other information as the affected party deems to be material to the issue.
• A statement of disputed issues of material fact.
• Bond as required by this document.

solicitation process or award of contract until the protest is resolved pursuant to fundamental
principles of due process, except and unless the Dispute Committee makes a written determination
that the award of a contract without delay is necessary to protect substantial interests in the CRA.
The Dispute Committee, shall, through the Director of Purchasing meet with the protesting party
within TEN (10) working days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Legal Holidays) of receipt of the

45. PURPOSE
The CRA is soliciting proposals for the restoration, sale or lease, and management of McCollum Hall.
46. HISTORY
McCollum Hall, located at 2701 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, occupies the northeast corner of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Cranford Avenue. The buff colored brick
commercial/recreational building was constructed in two phases (a single‐story section and two‐story
section), both ca. 1938. Art Deco style influences can be seen in the repetitive pilasters along the south
and west facades. Pilasters on the two‐story section of the south facade are adorned with metal
ornaments forming a geometric motif containing the initial "M". The main entrance is on the
southwestern corner of the single‐story section, diagonally positioned and flanked by repetitive vertical
bands of brick. Historically, the first floor has been utilized for commercial use. The second‐ floor
interior, originally designed as a dance hall, was substantially modified and served as a rooming house in
the 1980's.
On the west end of the south facade is a diagonal corner entry that reflects the Art Deco influences in the
repetitive stepped vertical bands of brick (photo # 2). The entry exhibits an elongated three light transom
of red glass above the door. In addition, there is a circular flat roofed awning above the doorway.
The original ten‐bay south facade is equally proportioned with the exception of the corner entry on the
west end and the stairway entry (photos #4, 5, 6) in the seventh bay from the west. Each bay was
separated by a wide raised vertical brick pilaster, capped with raised brick in a decorative geometric
rectangular shape (photo # 4). The canopies were attached to the building with metal rods connecting
approximately two feet from the top of the front facade (photo #4).
The second‐story section of the south facade has one‐over‐one double hung sash metal frame
windows, either paired or independent (photo #6). Above the paired windows is a horizontal raised
ribbon of brick that runs the width of the facade. Above that, within each of the three main bays, are ten
repetitive insets of stepped brick. The bays are separated by articulate parapet raised vertical brick
pilasters with metal ornamental geometric motifs inscribed with the letter “M” (photo #9). The stairway
entry bay has a recessed wooden door with a four light fixed sash window and a three light transom.
There is a single independent window on the second floor and a projected stepped brick mount for a
flagpole at the roofline (photo #5, 8). Also in this bay, between the two floors, is a concrete panel with
the name of the building "McCollum Hall" mounted on it in approximately 6‐inch high letters (photo #7).
The west facade duplicates the south facade in the use of Art Deco influenced raised vertical pilasters to
separate three bays. The north‐most bay on the west facade has no opening. The remaining two bays
repeat the window pattern on the south. In addition, the west side of the second floor has two awning
windows located on the extreme north and south ends each with two lights and a fixed sash window that
illuminates the interior staircase. The masonry east wall is surfaced with stucco (photo #12). The second
floor of the east wall possesses three independent awning windows of two lights each (photo #12).
The north wall of the building is approximately 8‐inches thick. It consists of un‐reinforced structural
concrete block, with a painted exterior surface (photos # 13 & 14). Two different sizes of concrete block
18
were used for the two phases of the building. On the older, two‐story section the concrete block is
approximately 5‐inches high by 10‐inches long by 8‐inches thick and has a ridged exterior surface.
The concrete block at the one‐story section is 4‐inches high by 16‐inches long by 8‐inches deep. Wood
one‐over‐one double hung sash windows are found either paired or independent. There are seven
windows on the ground floor. In addition, a single wood paneled door with a large single light is centrally
located in the east two‐story section. This original door is covered with a wire mesh. In a similar vein, the
windows on the ground floor are covered with burglar bars. There is a vertical three‐ light transom above
the exterior door. Primary access to the upper floor is obtained from the south interior staircase of the
original two‐story three bay section of the building. At the west end of the two‐story section is a two‐
light fixed sash window located between the two light awning windows that illuminates the interior
staircase. Secondary access to the upper floor is gained from the north by an original metal fire escape
(photo #13). It leads to a replacement metal door with a single vertical light that is currently boarded to
minimize access.
The interior of McCollum Hall was modestly finished. The first floor had 10 foot, 6‐inch high ceilings
(photo #15‐22). The floors in most of the first floor commercial spaces were painted concrete. Several of
the tenant spaces have 9‐inch‐by‐9‐inch vinyl asbestos tile and one has 12‐inch‐by‐12‐inch vinyl tile,
although it is uncertain when these were installed. The interior walls are painted gypsum plaster applied
directly to the brick or block at perimeter walls and to wood lath at demising walls. The baseboard
throughout is 6 inch high wood with a rounded top.
The second floor has 3‐inch wide wood floorboards. The walls, baseboards, and ceilings of the second
floor are of the same materials as the first floor. The second floor has a 9‐foot, 3‐inch ceiling height.
Originally, the second floor was a large room with an 18‐inch high wooden stage at the east end. There
were two small restrooms, one to each side of the stage. When the second floor was converted to a
rooming house in the 1980's, the central third of the space was left open and sleeping rooms were
arranged along the north and south sides. A portion of the stage was removed and over the rear portion,
enlarged bathrooms were installed.
47. Historical Context
Fort Myers is located on the Caloosahatchee River and was originally an outpost for the U.S Army during
the Second (1835‐1842), and Third (1853‐1855) Seminole Wars. The fort was used during the Civil War
but was abandoned in 1865. In 1862, the Homestead Act was passed that provided for claims of up to
160 acres to settlers if they occupied and developed the land for five or more years. This lure of cheap
and abundant land brought both black and white settlers to the area of Fort Myers. Many of the black
settlers came from northeast Georgia and central South Carolina. They concentrated on growing
vegetable crops, and mostly left cattle and citrus farming to the white residents (Taylor and Stone 1992;
8:1). The State Legislature created Lee County, named for General Robert E. Lee, in May 1887, carved
out of Monroe County. At the time of its creation, Lee County was one of the largest in the state,
consisting of most of southwest Florida. The population for the entire county was recorded as 1,414 in
1890. On February 6, 1888, Fort Myers was chosen as the county seat (Grismer 1949:125). By 1900, of
3,071 Lee County residents, 188 were black (Taylor and Stone 1992:8:1). By 1920, Fort Myers City
residents, numbering 3,678, constituted a third of the county population, 845 of those were listed as
black residents. But by 1930 and the end of the Florida Land Boom, 2,450 blacks living in Fort Myers
19
constituted more than a third of the 9,082 Fort Myers total population (Taylor and Stone 1992:8:2). In
1923, Lee County was subdivided into Lee, Collier, and Hendry Counties. However, this did not diminish
the population. By 1930, the smaller Lee County contained 14,990 inhabitants (Grismer 1949:124).
On February 20, 1904, the Atlantic Coastline Railroad reached Fort Myers from Punta Gorda, crossing the
Caloosahatchee River between Samville and Tice, northeast of Fort Myers. This brought more visitors
and the construction of additional accommodations. It also allowed crops to be easily shipped north to
Tampa and other parts of the country. African‐American farmers increased their farming efforts to meet
the demand in that expanded market. By 1906, the Bank of Fort Myers opened to accommodate this
increase in business and expansion. In April 1911, the State Legislature incorporated Fort Myers as a city.
This brought improvements such as city sewers and water mains and the addition of other public services
and facilities. During the decade of the 1910's, a number of substantial road improvements were made.
The Dixie Highway, completed in 1922, became the first northbound route out of Lee County (Florida
Preservation Services 1986:36; Grismer 1949:212; Fritz 1963:121). The Lee County portion of the
Tamiami Trail from Fort Myers south to Naples was originally conceived in 1915. "The beginning of World
War I halted any construction and the engineering problems faced in taking the road across the
Everglades became a major obstacle" (Florida Preservation Services 1986:37). The connection between
Fort Myers and Punta Gorda, a wooden bridge across the Caloosahatchee River, was completed in 1924,
thus finally linking Fort Myers to the north. The extension of the Tamiami Trail to the south was not
completed until 1926. The completion of the Dixie Highway provided a direct route to the north for black
and white farmers to truck their crops (Florida Preservation Services 1986:37; Fritz 1963: 122‐24).
Sometime prior to the Florida Land Boom in the 1920's, residents moved to the area of today's Dunbar,
which was then called Safety Hill or The Bottoms. It was located north and south of State Road 82 project
impact zone and east of downtown Fort Myers (Hill 1933; Sanborn 1914). The small‐unincorporated area
of Dunbar surrounded the main street of Anderson Avenue (presently Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Boulevard). The first homes and businesses clustered "near the tracks" around Evans and Cleveland
Avenue (also known as US 41) (Hill 1980: 1). Dunbar was named for Paul Lawrence Dunbar (1872‐1906),
an author and poet, son of former slaves and a father who fought in the Civil War. The predominantly
African‐ American community includes numerous subdivisions formed during the 1910's and 1920's.
Lincoln Park, consisting of 25 blocks south of Anderson Avenue (presently Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Boulevard), and east of Palm Avenue, was recorded in August of 1913, by owner Charles P. Frank (Plat
Book 3:43). To the south, Franklin Park, owned by W. P. Franklin, was recorded in September of 1923
(Plat Book 4:72).
Adjoining the Atlantic Coast Line tracks to the west, between Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and
Edison Avenue are: Anderson Heights, recorded in 1922 (Plat Book 3:59); Evans Second Addition, filed
early in 1887 (Plat Book 2:1A); and Oakland Park, filed in 1911 (Plat Book 1:61). Near the intersection of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Evans Avenue, the subdivision of Evans Addition and Towles
Addition were platted in 1905 and 1904, respectively (Plat Book 4:26; Plat Book 2: 10).
The early 1920's Boom years also brought many improvements to Fort Myers, which would have
profound effect on the city despite the eventual collapse of the Boom and the ensuing Depression Era.
"These improvements included four new school buildings, many miles of badly needed paved streets and
sidewalks, a greatly enlarged water system, a gas plant, modem firefighting apparatus, a city‐ wide sewer
system, a municipal pier and auditorium, and a municipal bathing pool" (Grismer 1949:232). The Florida
20
Land Boom ended in 1926. Both the state and City of Fort Myers experienced an economic depression,
which was compounded by the stock market crash in 1929, and subsequent Great Depression. In 1930,
Fort Myers had a population of 9,082 of which 2,450 were black. Some local black farmers and
landowners lost their land and began to take day labor jobs to support their families. Several projects
underway in the early depression years, aided the city's economy. These included the concrete Edison
Bridge, which replaced an earlier wooden bridge over the Caloosahatchee River, completed in October
1930, and the federal post office, completed in October 1933. Federal relief work funds, promoted by
newly elected President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, began arriving in Fort Myers in the late spring of 1933
(Grismer 1949:242‐243). During the next six years, numerous projects were funded through several
different federal relief programs. These included repairs of existing roads, sidewalks and utilities, as
well as the construction of new ones. In 1937, a new water plant was built in the Dunbar Community
using Public Works Administration (PWA) funds. The Waterfront Park and Yacht Basin were created with
Work Projects Administration (WPA) funds (Grismer 1949:242‐243). It was not until after World War II
that the economy in Fort Myers and the State of Florida recovered from the Depression. During the
1950’sand 1960’s, both tourists and retired persons frequented the state and area of Fort Myers. With
this influx, new jobs and expanded opportunities arose for both black and white residents, laying the
social and economic foundation for what it is today.
48. Historical Significance

McCollum Hall was constructed ca. 1938 by an African‐American resident of the Dunbar Community,
Clifford "Buck" McCollum, Sr. He had the building constructed just prior to World War II as the area was
beginning to recover from the Depression. McCollum Hall became a major commercial center in the
Dunbar Community. It was designed to house upscale commerce for the segregated African‐ American
population of Fort Myers. Divided into rental spaces for lease along the ground floor, McCollum Hall
was built to house a large second‐story space for a dance hall with a raised stage for live performances.
On the first floor, below the dance hall, was a barbershop and Ryan's Coffee Shop. To the west of the
barber and coffee shops, a tall opening with a framed wooden door led to a broad wooden stairway,
which brought patrons directly to the upstairs hall. West of the two‐story portion, a one‐story cluster of
rental spaces were occupied by Anderson Avenue Package Store for liquors, wines and beer; a clothing
store; and a larger space for a grocery store operated by McCollum. At the west end of the McCollum
Building, the grocery store's corner door faced directly onto the intersection of Cranford Avenue
and Anderson Avenue (now Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard) (McCollum 1994). The architect for
McCollum Hall was Frank Wooster Bail, AlA Frank Bail was born in Ohio in 1891 and graduated with a
Bachelor of Architecture from Columbia University in 1917. After serving as a lieutenant in the army
during World War I, he settled in Cleveland where he was employed as assistant city architect. In 1922,
he established the Frank W. Bail Company. His most notable buildings in Ohio are the Lake Shore Hotel,
Fifth Church of Christian Science, and Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court. In the mid‐1930's he moved to
Fort Myers, keeping the same firm name. During World War II, he merged his practice with structural
engineer Freeman Horton creating Bail, Horton and Associates. Significant projects in Florida include
the 1947 master plan for Florida State University.
The historic events, associated with McCollum Hall, sometimes familiarly called Buck Hall or Buck
McCollum Hall by locals, and the segregated Dunbar Community, reflect the African‐American
experience in Southwest Florida from the 1930's through the 1950's and beyond. Historically, the
21
Cranford‐Anderson intersection, like McCollum Hall, was a hub for the Dunbar Community. Anderson
Avenue bisected the community from east to west and led from the Dixie Highway to the agricultural
areas east of Fort Myers. Early each workday morning during the 1940's and 1950's as many as fifty farm
trucks and busses arrived there. They lined Cranford Avenue and parked in the vacant lot to the rear of
McCollum Hall. Laborers from the surrounding community convened at the spot, where they were hired
and transported to work places. Initially, the laborers worked in agricultural fields. Over time, the
dominant agricultural industry was replaced by a series of evolving economic enterprises, such as the
shrimping industry and pulpwood production. Unprecedented land development of massive dredged‐
and‐filled tracts, such as Lehigh Acres and Cape Coral resulted in construction employment for laborers
throughout the Lee County region during the decades following World War II (McCollum 1994)
Dunbar Community social celebrations also are part of the history of McCollum Hall. Even as white Fort
Myers citizens celebrated the famed Edison Festival of Lights annually, the segregated Dunbar
Community of the 1940's and 1950's organized its own Easter Parade. The parade began at Dunbar High
School, proceeding down Blount Street and High Street to Anderson Avenue. At McCollum Hall, the
procession turned north onto Cranford Avenue, then onto Orange Street, dispersing at Mt. Olive
Missionary Baptist Church or at the beginning point‐Dunbar High. The Easter Parade included floats and
several African‐American bands invited from other segregated communities such as Arcadia (McCollum
1994). Such celebrations were not organized within McCollum Hall, but the structure did contribute by
being a practice location for a community band that marched in the Easter Parade in the late 1930's. At
the time, Dunbar High School did not have a school band so the bandmaster from Fort Myers Senior High
School taught local children at McCollum Hall after school hours (Brown 1996).
The community dances were originally held at the Knights of Pythias Hall and sometimes the theater.
When McCollum Hall was constructed, the dance hall was constructed first‐‐the building was constructed
in two phases. Upon completion of the 2 story section construction began on the I story commercial
section east toward Cranford Avenue. On the first floor beneath the dance hall were three business
stores (Johnson 1996). The only thing at the time that was memorable was Buck Hall. That was about the
nicest place on Anderson Avenue (Dorsey 1996).The two decade procession of superstar celebrities to
the McCollum stage distinguished the Hall and Southwest Florida's ethnic history. The band of nationally
known Andy Kirk opened the Hall in April 1938. Over the years, McCollum Hall's bookings featured
performances by such nationally famous bands as those of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, B.B. King
and Otis Redding (McCollum 1994). McCollum Hall was where they had all the big dances. Duke Ellington,
Count Basie and Lucky Milliner were performers (Bennett 1996). An entry in the diary of Duke Ellington
dated Tuesday, April 1, 1947 noted Duke Ellington and his orchestra to play on stage at the McCollum
Hall in Fort Myers, Florida (Vail 1999:314).
During World War II, McCollum Hall served as a USO for the black soldiers that would come and go at
the air‐gunnery training facilities at Buckingham Field. The Pleasure Pier, which stood on the
Caloosahatchee River dock at the heart of downtown Fort Myers, was the USO location serving white
soldiers. Buckingham Gunnery School had many black soldiers at Page Field. They came to town every
night at the USO at the Buck McCollum Hall (Brown, 1996). Mostly local bands played for the USO dances.
White residents and soldiers also frequented the establishment during this time. They would put a rope
across to separate the whites and blacks (Bennett 1996).
22
From the 1930 through the 1950, the list of retail tenants stayed relatively stable. The original McCollum
Grocery lasted until 1956 when the Maddox Math Grocery, which became Cee Jay’s Grocery in 1959,
replaced it. A clothing store was consistently located next to the grocery store. In the 1950, the store was
Kellum Clothing Store, which became Styland's in 1959. Other stores that lasted through the 1950's were
the Anderson Package Store and the Ryan Henry Coffee Shop. Starting in 1954 a local lodge of the
Freemasons utilized McCollum Hall as their meeting place. The dance hall continued in operation until
the late 1970's catering more to the teenagers of the community. In the mid 1980's, the second‐floor
hall was changed to a rooming house. Commercial endeavors came and went at McCollum Hall over the
years and its physical appearance began to decline. In 2006, the City Council of Fort Myers adopted the
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard Revitalization and Redevelopment Plan. Once again, McCollum Hall
stood out as a prominent landmark in the Dunbar Community at the cornerstone of its revitalization. In
2008, the Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency acquired the property in order to stabilize the
structure and seek a Offeror to rehabilitate and reuse the property.
*McCollum Hall History was originally prepared for use with the 2009 & 2012 Florida Nomination Proposal
Application to get the property listed on the National Register of Historic Places
49. Project Background

The City of Fort Myers designated McCollum Hall a local historic landmark in 1998. During a collaborative
planning process, led by the City and supported by the residents in 2005‐2006, the Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. and Veronica S. Shoemaker Boulevards Revitalization Plan was created and adopted by the City
Council in 2006. The Community Redevelopment Agency purchased McCollum Hall in 2008 to preserve
it for reuse as a commercial, entertainment, and cultural activity center.
The 2006 planning process illuminated the importance of McCollum Hall to the residents because of the
significant role it played in the community from its inception and prior to its conversion into a room
house in the 1980’s. One of the ideas that emerged from the planning effort that has sustained
momentum over the years is to have the former dance hall reimagined as a social gathering place. It
would be available to residents through a rental/lease agreement for celebratory events, including but
not limited to parties, anniversaries, workshops and meeting space.
One of the primary reasons for the construction of McCollum Hall originally included the need for
commercial space in the black community, and a place to hold organized social gatherings. It is more
significant today because it is one of only a few historic structures still standing in the Dunbar community.
Although McCollum Hall has undergone interior changes, it has essentially maintained its Art Deco
influenced exterior, and the building remains iconic in the minds of many residents around the City of
Fort Myers.
50. CRA Activities to preserve and redevelop since purchase in 2008:
• Environmental studies and remediation performed by Professional Service Industries, Inc. 2008
• Urban Development Solutions, Inc. (UDS) was selected through a Request‐for‐Qualification process
in 2012. The firm did not fulfill the terms of the Development Agreement and subsequently, the
agreement was terminated.
23
•
• A $306,000 stabilization phase replaced the roof and fortified the skeletal structure to prevent further
deterioration in 2012. The stabilization phase was financed largely through a Community Development
Block Grant (see grant restrictions).
• 2014‐2016 Exterior Restoration Phase funded by a Special Category Grant from the State of Florida
(leaving the rear of the structure unimproved) (see grant restrictions).

52. SCOPE OF SERVICES

The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is requesting proposals for the restoration, purchase or
lease, and management of the McCollum Hall property for a neighborhood commercial center with
entertainment, retail, and dining establishments, or an alternative use consistent with the current
Commercial Intensive (CI) zoning, or an alternative use acceptable to the CRA. (See CI zoning uses
attached). The CRA acquired the site in 2008 in order to preserve the building and redevelop it for
commercial, entertainment, and cultural events. The CRA is willing to negotiate the terms of the
agreement, based on the financial feasibility of any proposed project and for a contract, which spells out
