Couple of points, the RFP is meaningless, it in no way reflects what Amazon is actually looking for other than the fact they want as many cities as possible bidding on it, my guess is the 'shortlist' will be about every city in North America that sends them an email asking for a copy of the RFP.
Tech companies right now seem to be competing to create flagship campuses that reflect their status in the same way companies built tower blocks like the Sears Tower or the Chrysler building, as such I doubt Amazon wants anything pre existing, they will want a massive vacant lot to build a world class eco friendly something or other to one up Google and Apple.
