ANNOUNCEMENT OF ISSUANCE OF DRAFT SOLICITATION AND PRE-SOLICITATION CONFERENCE FOR THE FAMILY HOUSING PRIVATIZATION PROJECT, PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, FLORIDA -- PURPOSE: The Air Force issued a draft solicitation for the South Housing Privatization Project on 7 May 99. The draft solicitation and related documents are posted on the world wide web at: www.pafb.af.mil/contopp/index.htm. A pre-solicitation conference will be held at Patrick AFB to discuss and solicit feedback from industry on the draft solicitation. The date of the conference is to be determined. Please check the above web site for details. The Patrick housing goal is to provide access to safe, quality, affordable housing, in a community where military families will choose to live. The project involves a real estate transaction with the successful Offeror to enter into a limited liability business entity (Limited Partnership (LP) or Limited Liability Company (LLC)). The successful offeror will (i) plan, design, develop, demolish, construct, renovate, replace, own, operate, maintain, and manage a 552-unit rental development (South Housing Area and a small parcel within North Housing Area) for Air Force personnel as provided herein for a period of 50 years and (ii) develop portions of the South Housing Area which are not required for Air Force use in a manner which is compatible with the residential use of the Air Force units, which supports, facilitates and expedites provision of the Air Force units, and which provides an appropriate financial return to the Air Force in exchange for its contribution of equity and land to the enterprise. The Air Force will convey 292 acres of improved land and lease three (3) acres of unimproved land to the Successful Offeror. The land to be conveyed is known as _South Housing Area_. The land to be leased is within the site known as _North Housing Area_. The land to be conveyed, together with the real property improvements present on the land, will be transferred to the Successful Offeror (SO) by Quitclaim Deed. This includes, but is not limited to, 960 existing MFH units. The Government will retain ownership of approximately 25 acres within the current boundaries of the _South Housing Area_. The private party will own the land, improvements, and housing units, and the military members will pay rent directly to the private party. Patrick would like to satisfy this portion of its military housing need through selected use of the wide range of authorities provided in the Military Housing Privatization Initiative included in the 1996 National Defense Authorization Act, Public Law 104-106 (Title 10 USC, Sections 2871 -- 2885) instead of the traditional military construction program. See http://www.acq.osd.mil/iai/hrso/legis.htm on the Internet. .The project scope of 552 rental units in South Housing includes 348 new replacement units and 204 renovation units.
