Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays
Comparable awards under NAICS 53 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.
The Department of the Army (“DA”) is issuing this Request for Proposals (“RFP” or “Solicitation”) to solicit competitive proposals from private, public and/or not-for-profit entities interested in leasing non-excess DA land consisting of six (6) sites (“Properties”) under a long-term lease agreement (“Enhanced Use Lease” or “EUL”) at Fort Lee (“Installation”). The EUL that would result from this RFP would be for the purpose of the selected Offeror designing, financing, permitting, developing, constructing, installing, owning, maintaining, operating, securing, and decommissioning commercial and/or industrial facilities (“Project”). Prior to expiration of the EUL, the Lessee will be required to restore the Properties to the condition they were in prior to execution of the EUL, with the exception of improvements constructed as in-kind consideration. Pursuant to its leasing authority codified at 10 U.S.C. § 2667 and provided as Attachment A, DA intends to execute an EUL with a selected Offeror (“Lessee”) for a term of fifty (50) years. DA may consider an option to renew the EUL for an additional period of time following expiration of the initial fifty (50) year term if proposed by the Offeror in its Proposal and as further described in Section 6.4.a. Consideration to be paid by the Lessee for the EUL will be in-kind, cash, or a combination thereof in an amount not less than the fair market value of the lease interest as determined by an appraisal to be completed by DA. As part of the consideration to be provided to DA and as a requirement to be considered for award, the selected Offeror must provide in-kind consideration in the form of the design and construction of an aquatic center on Site 1. DA’s preference is for the aquatic center to be constructed on Parcel 1 of Site 1 as depicted in Attachment B, but Offerors may propose its construction on Parcels 1, 2, 3 or 4 of Site 1. Additional in-kind consideration projects desired by Fort Lee include a multi-purpose facility and food pavilion, construction of a new Training Pavilion on Parcel 4 of Site 1, and expansion of the Army Transportation Museum on Parcel 5 of Site 1. More detailed information specific to in-kind consideration is provided in Attachment B. The Lessee under the EUL will, in part (subject to the terms and conditions of the EUL), be authorized and responsible for financing, designing, developing, operating, securing, and maintaining the Project and shall be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, including building codes, as they may be amended from time to time. The Project shall be viable without any commitment or contribution, monetary or otherwise, from DA. DA envisions that development of the Project will entail a well-planned and coordinated endeavor to utilize the Properties in a manner that will not conflict with adjacent Installation ongoing mission-related activities or the surrounding community. Offerors may propose a Project on all or a portion of the Properties. Offerors may submit a proposal to develop a single site or multiple sites. Proposals must clearly identify the portion(s) and associated acreage(s) of the Properties proposed for lease by the Offeror. This RFP may be amended or supplemented and all such amendments and supplements shall be considered part of this RFP (and references to the RFP shall include all amendments and supplements, unless otherwise specified). To receive any amendments or supplements to this RFP, Offerors will be required to refer to the RFP posting on sam.gov. DA reserves the right, at any time, without notice, at its sole and absolute discretion, to (a) modify, update, supplement, revise, suspend, or waive any terms and conditions of this RFP; (b) independently waive any deficiency or irregularity in any proposal submitted where it is in the Government’s best interest to do so; (c) reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; (d) extend any deadline set forth in this RFP; (e) cancel the RFP process, in whole or in part; (f) make an award as a result of initial proposals submitted; (g) discuss any submission with the Offeror that submitted it and require the submission of additional information regarding any aspect of the Offeror’s proposal; (h) make award to an Offeror who submits a proposal that is not the proposal that would provide DA with the highest value in terms of consideration to be paid under the EUL; and (i) initiate further discussions or negotiations directly with the Offeror (after DA selects it for award), if DA believes that the amount of consideration offered for the EUL in the Offeror’s proposal warrants further refinement or enhancement. DA’s objective for this RFP and the Project is to maximize the financial return to DA through the lease of non-excess available land on the Installation. In leasing the Properties, DA will capitalize their value. ****ADDITIONAL NOTES for this RFP: - POC is US Army Corps of Engineers, Directorate of Military Programs, Real Estate Division; DLL-usarmy.rfp.question@usace.army.mil - The RFP closes at 5:00 P.M.
