RFP No. DACA45-5-26-00264 ENHANCED USE LEASE (EUL) COMMERCIAL AN/OR INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES FORT LEE, VIRGINIAview on SAM.gov

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.
