The BP brand is distinctive in South Florida, said Hope Mineo, managing director of NRC Realty Advisors LLC (NRC), Chicago, which has been retained by the oil company to coordinate the sale.
The sites are being sold through NRC's sealed bid sale process. The deadline for sealed bid submission is July 26, 2007. Prospective dealers are required to submit a completed dealer application prior to submitting bids.

Each PSP contains a site-specific bid package, including bid instructions, a bidding form and purchase contract. Each PSP additionally contains site-specific due diligence information, such as a title commitment, survey and environmental information. PSPs may be purchased from NRC in either hard-copy or CD-ROM format at $35 and $25, respectively.
