Scope and Objectives: The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), under its Enhanced-Use Leasing (EUL) authority (38 U.S.C. 8161 to 8169), is seeking Expressions of Interest (EI) from qualified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB), Small Veteran Owned Businesses (SVOB) development teams for an opportunity to redevelop/renovate buildings located at the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center located in Dublin, Georgia. Interested parties may submit an EI for a single building or any combination of the buildings identified below. In accordance with the Building Utilization Review and Repurposing Initiative (BURR) and the VA's EUL authority, the VA seeks to determine if there are interested developers that can redevelop the buildings to be used for providing supportive housing for homeless Veterans, or Veterans at risk of homelessness and their families. The EUL authority allows the VA to out lease facilities to provide supportive housing and on-site community-based support services for Veterans that are homeless or that are at risk of homelessness and their families. The EUL program allows for the long-term lease (up to 75 years) of facilities to public or private sector lessees. The VA EUL Program has been in effect for several years and has numerous successful on-going projects. This program is administrated by VA's Office of Asset Enterprise Management (OAEM). The developer/lessee would be solely responsible for redeveloping, financing, renovating, constructing, managing, maintaining, and operating the leased property. In return for the long-term lease of the assets, the developer/operator will provide supportive services that will benefit Veterans and their families in the Dublin, Georgia community. Objectives "Reuse underutilized VA property to create safe, affordable, permanent housing for homeless Veterans and Veterans at risk for homelessness "Provide the target population with housing and on-site supportive/resident services "Develop a housing model geared towards enabling Veterans to achieve self-sufficiency and live independently "Avoid ongoing VA operating costs associated with the upkeep of vacant and/or underutilized assets Additional information on the VA's Enhanced Use Lease program may be obtained at: http://www.va.gov/assetmanagement/ Disclaimer: This Request for Expression of Interest is issued solely for informational and planning purposes. It does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotations) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. Buildings Offered As Part Of This Expression of Interest: This EI will focus on the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center campus' buildings (34 and 35). The intent of this Expression of Interest is to determine if there are experienced SDVOB or SVOB developers that can transform one or more of these buildings into facilities that will serve Veterans in accordance with VA's EUL authority. Building 34 - (in Gross Square Feet) 1st Floor 13,001 2nd Floor 12,219 Basement 5,634 Building 35 - (in Gross Square Feet) 1st Floor 7,262 2nd Floor 7,262 Basement 301 Additional Building Information: The Buildings 34 and 35 will require extensive renovations, to include hazardous materials abatements (asbestos and potential lead paint) to meet the proposed use. The finishes, mechanical, and electrical systems are deteriorated and beyond their useful life. The buildings and adjacent land are higher in elevation than the surrounding areas so drainage is good. Drives to the buildings and parking will need to be repaired and/or widened to meet the intended use. No entitlements are present on the proposed approximately 6 acres. Utilities and services are already present to the buildings; however, it may be prudent due to age and condition to replace service lines. The buildings have been abandoned for approximately 15 years. Land Available: Approximately 5.8 acres which comprises Building 34 and 35 Please see Attachment A for a building location map and property photos. In lieu of contacting VAMC onsite personnel, please direct EI questions to De Carol Smith 202-632-7093 or via email at DeCarol.Smith@va.gov.
