Project Description: Scope and Objectives: This Sources Sought notice is for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Vacant and Underutilized Buildings located at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center, 17273 OH-104, Chillicothe, OH 45601, the Perry Point VA Medical Center and Perry Point, MD 2190. These buildings are available for outlease under the EUL or Historic Reuse Program (HRP). The EUL and/or HRP projects are to be a long-term outlease or exchange. The historic reuse authority is derived from Title 54 United States Code Sections 306121-306122 (formerly Section 111) that allows the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to manage, outlease, or exchange historic facilities (available land, buildings, and other resources) in a manner consistent with VA s obligation to maintain historic assets. VA s implementation of this authority is known as the Historic Reuse Program or HRP. An HRP agreement can be either a long-term outlease (up to 99 years) of facilities under VA s jurisdiction of control to a public or private sector entity or an exchange of historic properties. This program is administrated by the Land Acquisition Strategic Utilization service (LASU) within the Office of Construction and Facilities Management s Office of Real Property (ORP). Enhanced Use Lease Authority :, Title 38 United States Code Sections 8161-8169, allows the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to outlease facilities (available land, buildings, and other resources) to provide supportive housing that engages tenants in on-site and community-based support services for Veterans or their families who are at risk of homelessness or are homeless. Enhanced-Use Leases are long-term leases (up to 75 years) of facilities under VA s jurisdiction of control to the public or private sector for veteran supportive housing. This program is administrated by VA s Office of Asset Enterprise Management (OAEM). The objective of this development opportunity includes but is not limited to: To provide an innovative solution within current authority to preserve a VA-owned, historic property; To enable a productive use of these properties that do not involve VA capital dollars and benefits all stakeholders; and To meet VA s obligations under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) to better preserve and protect the property. To maximize achievement of these objectives VA may execute its authority to lease the Subject Property for cash or historic preservation services, or exchange the Subject Property for other comparable historic real property, or any combination thereof.
