- Description
- BUILD-TO-LEASE or OPTION-TO-LEASE HOUSING PROJECT IN SURABAYA, INDONESIA FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT The United States Government (‘USG’) is seeking expressions of interest from qualified landowners and/or developers for the construction and lease to the USG of a Principal Officer’s Residence (POR) in Surabaya. The POR site should be approximately two (2) acres, however smaller and larger sites will be considered. The POR site should be in a desirable residential neighborhood. The POR must be completed and ready for occupancy December 2015. The USG will retain the right to inspect the POR while construction takes place and may refuse to take occupancy if the agreed upon specifications are not met. The lease will provide that the USG will pay the landlord an annual rent during the term of the lease, beginning when the US takes possession of the POR. The US desires that the initial lease term be ten ( 10) or more years, renewable upon terms to be negotiated. By definition, both an Build-To-Lease (BTL) or Option-To-Lease (OTL) is a property that is not ready for occupancy and the landowner would provide the land, the residential design based on USG construction specifications, finance the development, construct the residence on the land, and ultimately lease the premises to the USG. A BTL transaction follows a competitive bidding process according to the USG’s contracting process, thereby assuring best value to the USG. In an OTL transaction, there is typically no formal competition, because the USG has made a determination that the developer-initiated project is one that it may desire to lease. The OTL project might be in the conceptual drawing stage or construction may have already begun. Depending on what stage of planning or development that the USG enters the project, it will have more or less input as to the final design elements and the actual construction process. Under a BTL transaction or if the developer has just begun construction for an OTL, the USG will provide construction specifications, conceptual site, and architectural designs to the developer. Typically, a BTL transaction has longer development period before occupancy than an OTL transaction. A Build-To-Lease (BTL) or Option-To-Lease (OTL) Agreement will be negotiated and executed with the successful offeror. It will contain preliminary floor plans, site plans, specifications, exterior views, and elevations. Detailed construction plans will then be completed and approved by the USG as part of the lease. Aside from the rent, the USG will not provide funding for the design or construction of the POR. The developer is required to provide all funds necessary for the land acquisition, site development, house construction, and long-term maintenance of the property. The lease will include an option to purchase the POR. If you are interested in providing this POR, please submit to UNITED STATES Consulate, Jl.
