Description
The Department of the Air Force (“DAF”) is accepting proposals for the development of market facing housing or mixed-use projects (“Projects”). As consideration for leasing its parcels to developers selected under this RFLP, DAF is seeking cash rent. B. Executive Order 13327, Federal Real Property Asset Management, establishes “It is the policy of the United States to promote the efficient and economical use of America’s real property assets and to assure management accountability for implementing Federal real property management reforms.” Furthermore, policy from the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Installations) directs, “The Air Force cannot afford to disregard or discount the value of any asset, and we must optimize the real and potential value of those assets ….” C. Title 10 U.S.C. § 2667 (the “Enabling Statute”), as amended, allows the Government to lease real property to non-Federal entities in exchange for consideration in an amount that is not less than the fair market value of the leasehold interest.Pursuant to the foregoing Executive Order and the Enabling Statute, the Department of the Air Force (the “Government”) is issuing this Request for Lease Proposal (the “RFLP”) to solicit proposals from entities (“Offeror(s)”) interested in entering into a long-term ground lease (the “Lease”) to lease all or a portion of that certain real property located at Eielson AFB (the “Installation”), which is an active military installation located in North Star Borough, Alaska comprised of approximately four (4) non-contiguous parcels of land (the “Property”) from the Government for the purposes of financing, permitting, developing, constructing, installing, owning, maintaining and operating improvements upon the Property for the Lessee’s private commercial (non-Federal government) use (collectively, the “Project”). In accordance with and subject to the terms, requirements, and conditions of this RFLP, the Government will evaluate all proposals received in order to select one or more Offerors as a “Potential Lessee(s)” with whom to enter into lease negotiations. A Potential Lessee with whom the Government actually makes and enters into a written and legally binding lease agreement is hereinafter referred to as a “Lessee.” If no agreement is made, a Potential Lessee may not actually become a Lessee.
