Description

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA) IS SEEKING EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST TO ACQUIRE LAND IN CALAIS, MAINE, FOR A NATIONAL VETERAN BURIAL GROUND VA-101-13-I-0152 VA is interested in acquiring a site on which it may construct a National Veteran Burial Ground in the Calais, Maine area. VA is looking for a parcel of no less than three (3) acres. VA's strong preference is to purchase land from an existing cemetery or immediately adjacent or within close proximity to an existing cemetery (no more than 0.25 miles away). However, should no viable sites adjacent or within close proximity to an existing cemetery be available, VA may then consider other sites/parcels that are not located near an existing cemetery which may be suitable for development of a new cemetery. Delineated Area: To be considered, the site must be within a twenty (20) mile radius of the Calais City Center, the intersection of Route 1 (Main Street) and Church St, and must be within the United States. In addition to proximity, the travel time via major highways will be a primary consideration. Sites located outside of the United States will not be considered. Please note: "VA assumes no responsibility to purchase a site based upon responses to this advertisement. "VA reserves the right to amend the delineated area and/or site requirements as needed. "VA will only acquire a site based upon the fair market value, as determined by a qualified appraiser. "VA will not acquire a site that is within the 100 year flood plain, unless it has no practicable alternative. EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION, AS KNOWN OR AVAILABLE. PLEASE NOTE THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE SO PLEASE PROVIDE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE TO ENABLE VA TO EVALUATE YOUR SITE(S). VA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ELIMINATE A SITE THAT FAILS TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION. 1.Site location, address, legal description and land use. 2.Size of parcel and amount (or range) of usable acreage offered. 3.Site plan, survey and/or plat map of the site indicating the location of the parcel offered. Site plan should include location of utilities, any easements (above and below ground), adjacent roads, and/or other encumbrances affecting the potential development of the parcel. Include any grading, drainage or sewer plans that have been or will be completed in the future. 4.Access to site from major transportation routes and public transportation routes. 5.Site aerials/renderings photos, graphics, and location map. 6.Describe any future development affecting the site including neighboring projects and road/public utility line construction. 7.Specific information on site ownership and any known title issues, defects, deed restrictions and encumbrances. PLEASE PROVIDE BRIEF EXPLANATIONS/CLARIFICATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: 1.The availability of utilities to the site including water, sewer, gas, electric and fiber optics. 2.Describe any environmental issues known to exist on the site and any remediation efforts taken or to be taken. Provide copies of any environmental or other assessments. 3.Provide evidence that the site offered is outside the 100 year flood zone. Clarify if the site contains any wetlands (as defined and may be certified by FEMA). 4.Confirm that ownership currently owns and controls the site. State whether ownership has title to property, is under contract, retains an option to purchase, etc. Offeror and/or firm submitting Expressions or Interest should state its relationship to the site (for example, owner, broker, legal representative, etc.). If Offeror is not legal owner of the site, please provide documentation from owner that clearly demonstrates authorization to offer the site and compensation received, if any for your efforts from the owner. VA staff will conduct a site selection tour to consider sites that meet the Government's needs for this project. Interested offerors (owners, brokers, or their legal representatives) should submit one (1) electronic copy of information by e-mail or on CD to the point of contact below by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 20, 2013. Please note that VA can only accept email attachments that are 5 MB or smaller. VA will accept multiple emails that include relevant attachments, or VA will accept a CD that contains the attachments. Offerors submitting CDs should send them to the following address by overnight delivery that includes delivery confirmation, with a "sent by" date no later than June 19, 2013.
