Description

NORTHEAST REGION HOUSING PRIVATIZATION, CONSISTING OF INSTALLATIONS AT NAS BRUNSWICK (BRUNSWICK, ME); NSY PORTSMOUTH (KITTERY, ME); NAVSTA NEWPORT (NEWPORT, RI); NSB NEW LONDON (GROTON, CT); NSU SARATOGA SPRINGS (SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY); NWS EARLE (COLTS NECK, NJ); AND, NAES LAKEHURST (LAKEHURST, NJ), WITH ADDITIONAL AREAS AT FAIRFIELD, CT, AND MITCHEL COMPLEX, LONG ISLAND, NY. Section 2801 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996, Public Law 104-106, 110 Stat. 186 (10 USC 2871-2885), as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2001, 2002 and 2003, provides a series of powerful authorities that allow the Department of Defense (DOD) to work with the private sector to build and renovate family housing and ancillary facilities. The Department of the Navy (DON) intends to utilize the unique powers and authorities provided under the legislation to ensure that safe, high quality, energy efficient, well-managed, affordable housing will be available to military families, as needed, over the long term at NAS Brunswick, NSY Portsmouth, NAVSTA Newport, NSB New London, NSU Saratoga Springs, NWS Earle, and NAES Lakehurst. Accordingly, the DON intends to become a partner in a public-private partnership, or similar business entity, established by a private company or team of private investors/developers, property managers/operators, building contractors, architects and engineers, and/or others for housing for military families at the aforementioned installations. The DON intends to contribute 5,215 existing homes of DON-owned and DON-occupied family housing and two mobile home parks including related improvements, support facilities and land to the partnership for the planned demolition of 562 homes; the design, finance and construction of 321 replacement homes and up to 27 new homes, with related site amenities on DON-provided land; and, renovation of up to 1,933 existing homes for an end state maximum of 4,210 homes. Through the partnership, the DON intends to market and sell the following existing homes, land and housing related facilities: 28 homes and land in Fairfield, CT; 20 homes and land at Rainbow Heights, NAVSTA Newport, RI; 125 homes and land at Fort Adams, NAVSTA Newport, RI; 510 homes and land at Mitchel Complex (Field & Manor), NY; and 40 homes and land at Green Acres, NWS Earle, NJ; and, 3 homes and land at Highway 34, NWS Earle, NJ for a total of 726 homes, in a manner that maximizes the sales proceeds and offers the greatest value to the project. The DON envisions the private partner (managing member) securing debt and/or contributing equity, as needed, over the long term to carry out the project. Acting on behalf of the partnership, the private partner will own, operate, manage and maintain the existing inventory of DON-owned family housing units and any new and replacement units constructed, including site infrastructure and ancillary facilities, for a term of 50 years. In addition, the partnership will own, operate, manage and maintain 31 market homes (12 at NSY Portsmouth and 19 at NAVSTA Newport) including streets and selected infrastructure. This acquisition will be conducted by the Commanding Officer, Atlantic Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Norfolk, VA. In Step 1, Request for Qualifications (RFQ), interested parties shall submit a Statement of Qualifications, in conformance with the outline contained in the RFQ, describing their concept for development and approach to operate and manage the project; past performance with regard to developments of a similar nature, scope and scale; and financial capabilities and capacities.
