Description

"Army Residential Communities Initiative (RCI), Community Development and Management Plan (CDMP) Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Southeast Grouping" The Headquarters United States Army Corps of Engineers under the direction of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations and Environment has a requirement to establish a long term business relationship with private sector developers for the purpose of improving military family housing communities at the following installations: Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Fort Stewart / Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia, and Fort Polk, Louisiana. This requirement is part of the Congressionally authorized Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MPHI) and as such, employs commercial practices to meet the Army's long-term needs for military family housing community management, including development, construction, maintenance and operation of the family housing at each installation as listed above. The Army intends to release a two-step Request for Qualifications (RFQ) with specific submission requirements for an Offeror Selection Evaluation using Best Value Procedures. Step one of the RFQ will establish the competitive range. In Step one, Part A the Army will review specific information from the offeror written submission to screen for adequacy of documentation of the basic skills required: community development, property management, and financial capability. In Step one, Part B, the Army will evaluate written submissions covering five general factors based on their experience, financial capability, organizational capabilities (corporate level), past performance, and small business utilization (general history). Step one of the RFQ process will identify those offerors determined to be highly qualified and place them in the competitive range and thus eligible for further consideration in Step two. The Step two solicitation for each of the four installations will be sequentially offered. Offerors selected to the competitive range in Step one may, at their option, compete for one, two, three or four of the installations within this grouping during the individual Step two solicitations. The offerors making the competitive range may, without penalty, elect not to submit on a specific installation. Entities not selected to the competitive range will not be allowed to compete for the Step two RFQ solicitations for any of the four installations within this grouping. During Step two of the RFQ process, each installation RCI project will be competed individually in sequence by the offerors in the competitive range. During Step two submissions are expected to be in the form of oral presentations. For Step two, the offeror will be evaluated based on their installation specific preliminary project concept statement, financial return, organizational capabilities (on-site), and small business utilization plan (on-site). The offeror will be expected to identify, in detail, his or her plans to achieve Department of the Army, Major Army Command, and Installation specific goals for each installation. Step two of the RFQ will select the successful offeror for the development of the Community Development and Management Plan for each installation. Pre-RFQ and pre-submission conferences are not intended. The office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations and Environment has tentative plans to host an RCI Industry Forum for the grouping of installations listed in this announcement on or about, Tuesday, October 23, 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia, dated Thursday, September 13, 2001 (Refer to CBD Special Notice "Army Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) Industry Forum in Atlanta, Georgia").
