The Department of Air Force intends to negotiate with Actus Lend Lease Holdings LLC, on a sole source basis for the privatization of an additional 1118 units of military family housing at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, and Bellows Air Force Station, Hawaii 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: 31 July 2006. THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE FOLLOW-ON TO A PRIOR COMPETITIVELY-AWARDED NON-FAR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION with Hickam Community Housing, LLC, an affiliate of Actus Lend Lease Holdings LLC, to privatize an initial quantity of approximately 1336 residential units at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. NO DATA/DRAWINGS AVAILABLE. The approximate solicitation issue date will be 1 Dec 05. Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2872 et seq. Justification: An attempt to compete this requirement would result in substantial duplication of costs not recoverable through competition, and unacceptable schedule delays. One project owner minimizes force protection security concerns. This synopsis is informational only and is not a request for competitive proposals. However, developers interested in providing an offer, must be able to demonstrate in writing, by 7 Nov 05, their capability to privatize the required units despite the lack of priority referrals and despite the lack of a waterfall that permits the filling of 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.eypsc.com on or about 1 Dec 05. It is suggested that small business firms or others interested in subcontracting opportunities in connection with the described real estate transaction contact the incumbent developer listed.
