Y -- CONSTRUCT COMBINED DAY CARE CENTER AND OFFICE SPACE SOL n/a DUE 070700 POC Rich Hague, Lead Contract Specialist, (602) 222-6402 E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting officer via, rich.hague@med.va.gov. The Carl T. Hayden Veterans Affairs Medical Center is interested in developing a three-story office building that would house a child care center of approximately 10,000 square feet on the bottom floor, and approximately 20,000 square feet of office space on the second and third floors. In so doing, we are looking for someone to build and operate this center and provide day care services at a reduced negotiated rate and lease the office space back to us at a negotiated rate. We are located in downtown Phoenix on Third Street and Indian School Road. In exchange for this service, we are able to offer the proposed contractor prime real estate at a very reduced fee. Therefore, we have set aside one acre of land in order to develop this office complex and child care center and we are offering this land to any potential contractor for $1 per year for 35 years. We are able to provide this offering under the Department of Veterans Affairs Enhanced-Use Lease Program. With this program, VA will provide a long-term lease of an approximately one-acre site to a competitively selected developer. In return, the developer will be required to build an office complex that encompasses a child care center (including outside play area, parking and drop-off spaces) with all site improvements, structures, and utilities necessary. The office complex, encompassing the child care center would need to be built and operated in accordance with the State of Arizona child care regulations and local building codes. In addition, the developer will need to build and offer the office space to VA on a leased/rented basis. We have conducted a market survey and have a definite need for the child care center. The Carl T. Hayden VA medical Center (VAMC), with its 2,000 full and part-time employees provides a full range of medical, surgical, psychiatric, dental, and long-term care services to more than 35,000 veterans in the Phoenix metropolitan area and central Arizona. The VAMC maintains educational affiliations with the University of Arizona School of Medicine as well as the Phoenix Independent Residency Program. The center just completed a 60,000 square foot Ambulatory Care Addition. In addition, the City is beginning construction on a new City Park, called Steele Indian School Park, which will be located across the street from this new building. They expect to complete this first phase of the project by July 2001. Furthermore, other developments have occurred in our vicinity. A new luxury apartment complex was recently opened across the street from us on the Indian School side. Interested parties should respond by no later than 4:00 p.m. on July 7, 2000 identifying the firm capabilities and experience to: Carl T.
