The Air Force intends to negotiate with Hunt Building Corporation (WRAF Housing), on a sole source basis for the Phase II privatization of an additional 789 units (403 end-state units) of military family housing at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, in a Non-FAR Real Estate Transaction. The transaction will not be funded directly with appropriated funds, but instead will be funded from tenant rental payments, including allotments from individual military service members’ monthly basic allowance for housing payments. Such transactions require the developer to renovate, construct, maintain, repair, operate and manage for a period of approximately 50 years. Estimated Transaction Closing: 1 September 2006. THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE FOLLOW-ON TO A PRIOR COMPETITIVELY-AWARDED NON-FAR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION with Hunt Building Corporation that privatized an initial quantity of 670 residential units at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. NO DATA/DRAWINGS AVAILABLE. The approximate solicitation issue date will be 16 January 2006. Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2872 et seq. Justification: The agency has concluded that the follow-on real estate privatization functions required are uniquely available from only one source, because only the current privatization developer is able to satisfy the agency’s needs due to the units to be privatized being located well within the bounds of Robins AFB. One project owner minimizes force protection security concerns. An attempt to compete this requirement would result in substantial duplication of costs not recoverable through competition, unacceptable schedule delays in eliminating substandard housing, and the inability for any project owner other than the current project owner to rent to anyone other than military members. This synopsis is issued for information only and is not a request for competitive proposals. Developers interested in providing an offer, must be able to demonstrate in writing, by 15 November 2005, their capability to privatize the required units despite the lack of priority referrals and despite the lack of a waterfall that permits filling vacancies in core base areas with non-military tenants. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the agency not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the agency. The agency will not pay for any information received. A sole source, Non-FAR Real Estate Transaction RFP will be posted [www.pscmhc.com] on or about 16 Jan 06. It is suggested that small business firms or others interested in subcontracting opportunities in connection with the described real estate transaction contact with the incumbent developer listed.
