Project Description: Scope and Objectives: This Sources Sought notice is for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) property known as the Machine Shop located at 25 Liberty Ship Way, Sausalito, CA 94965. The intent of this notice is to determine if there are qualified respondents that are interested in renovating and adapting this historic building for a non-VA use under a lease, or alternatively, to enter into an exchange to receive this property. The eventual developer/lessee would be solely responsible for redeveloping, financing, renovating, constructing, managing, maintaining, and operating the property pursuant to either a long term outlease (up to 99 years) or exchange with VA, including historic preservation covenants. In return for the long-term lease or exchange of the asset, the developer/lessee will provide fair consideration to the VA for the Machine Shop. The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), specifically Title 54 of the United States Code Section 306121-306122, authorizes Federal agencies to outlease or exchange unneeded historic properties and retain the proceeds to fund preservation activities. As VA seeks to actively engage the private sector in strengthening utilization of its real property portfolio, the Department has created a nationwide Historic Reuse Program (HRP) to implement historic outlease and exchanges of underutilized real estate. The HRP is administered by VA s Real Property Strategic Utilization (RPSU) group within the Office of Construction and Facility Management. The objective of this development opportunity includes but is not limited to: To provide an innovative solution within current authority to preserve a VA-owned, historic property; To enable a productive use of this property that does not involve VA capital dollars and benefits all stakeholders; and To meet VA s obligations under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) to better preserve and protect the property. To maximize achievement of these objectives VA may execute its authority to lease the Subject Property for cash or historic preservation services, or exchange the Subject Property for other comparable historic real property, or any combination thereof. Building Offered As Part Of This Advertisement: The Machine Shop is situated in a prime location, on the waterfront in the southeastern portion of the Marinship shipyard. The property s current condition makes it an excellent candidate for redevelopment. The Machine Shop was decommissioned in 1946, and later that year was turned over to the War Assets Administration. The War Assets Administration eventually turned the property over to The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers(USACE). In 1950 the property was converted into the South Pacific Division Laboratory. After closing the lab in 1997 and performing environmental remediation, USACE transferred the Machine Shop to the VA in 2003. Since its last use as a research lab, the property has sat vacant. The property is recognized by the California Office of Historic Preservation (CA SHPO) as a historic property and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for the following criterion: Criterion A: Military Industrial Complex WWII. Criterion B: Association with Joseph James; Civil Rights Movement. Criterion C: Embodying the distinctive characteristics of WWII, primarily wood construction and industrial design, engineering and architecture. Criterion D: Information on wood constructed industrial buildings of WWII and the potential for archeological material. There is also a Satellite Building (also referred to as a small chemical storage shed ) on the subject property (to the rear non-waterfront side of the warehouse), which was originally developed as a frame basement-less shed consisting of 6,000 square feet. This building, a 1-story building in average condition, was built at the same time as the Machine Shop. There is also an abandoned guard house on the land of the subject property, in between the main building and the waterfront; this structure slightly obstructs the view of the water. Surface parking to support 60-70 vehicles can also be conveniently found, along with a pedestrian walkway on the waterfront side. The VA-owned Subject Property, comprising the primary warehouse building, outbuildings (Satellite Building/shed and guardhouse), surface parking and pedestrian walkway, occupies approximately 1.719 acres.
