The project includes the development, maintenance and management of 840 new single and multi-family structures and the phased revitalization, maintenance and management of 1,824 existing housing units at Fort Carson, Colorado. The requirement results from the implementation of the Military Family Housing privatization initiative. The resultant proposed contract will reflect an alliance between government and private industry and use combinations of many alternatives to traditional acquisition methods. Some alternatives include various guarantees, commitments and tools as investments by the Government with a privately financed business. The Contractor will provide, operate and maintain the military family housing units for a period of 50 years, with a renewable option for 25 additional years. The Government will make available or outlease land for new units and convey title to the existing structures. The Government will also make available loan guarantees or direct loans, utility tap points, utility expenses, mandatory rent allotments for Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) and Variable Housing Allowances (VHA), and provide a military housing referral and priority list for occupancy. In turn, the successful offeror will provide a new housing community, the construction of the new units, renovation of existing units, management and maintenance of all housing units, grounds maintenance of unoccupied and public areas associated with the housing community, construction and maintenance of new roads and infrastructure, reinvestments in ancillary features and community improvements, such as green areas, parks, picnic areas, day care centers, etc. The request for proposal document will be available on or about 10 September 1996.
