Y -- AETC Group I Industry Forum

The Department of Air Force is seeking qualified entities for a Military Housing Privatization project for Air Education and Training Command (AETC) Group I (Altus AFB OK, Luke AFB AZ, Sheppard AFB TX, and Tyndall AFB FL). This project involves a real estate transaction to privatize all of the military family housing at these four bases into one initiative. The Government will lease approximately 1370 acres of land at the four bases for 50 years and convey 3791 existing homes and other improvements to one successful offeror. The successful offeror will own and operate the rental housing development of 2875 homes at the four bases for military families for 50 years, as well as finance, plan, design, and construct improvements in the development. The Government may be willing to provide financing assistance in the form of a Government Direct Loan. An Industry Forum will be conducted in Glendale AZ at the Wigwam Resort on Tuesday, 21 September 2004, from 7:30 am to noon. The Industry Forum will include general briefings on the new One-step housing privatization solicitation process and an overview of the Request for Proposal.
