This Request for Proposals (RFP) provides the opportunity for any interested individual or organization, hereinafter referred to as “Offeror” to submit proposals to the National Park Service (NPS) to lease NPS property at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DEWA) under the following general terms and conditions. The Lease Premises includes one building: § The former Gulf Station located on Federal Road 209 is a concrete block structure built in 1955, which has been unoccupied for several decades. It is 1209 square feet and consists of one large room that would have been a two car bay for mechanical work and a small former office and a store room and a bathroom. § The building was determined not to be eligible for the National Register of Historic structures. § The building is located along Route 209 just north of Bushkill Creek in Pike County. It is south of Bushkill Falls Road (SR 2001) and 5000 to 7000 cars pass it a day according to counts conducted for construction projects by PennDot. The road will continue to be the main transportation corridor in the area at least until the SR 2001 construction is complete 5 to 10 years from now. The boundary of the Lease Premises also includes parking for at least ten vehicles and there is additional public parking on the north and south sides of the station and directly on the other side of the road. The Lease Premises are shown below and described on Exhibit A to the Draft Lease. Key Information about the Property Offered for Lease: § Deferred Maintenance The building will require substantial restoration and renovation before a certificate of occupancy for any use could be issued. Each Offeror is responsible for developing the scope of work and cost estimates for its improvement plan. § Jurisdiction – Zoning, Building Codes, Taxes and Assessments, Law Enforcement For zoning and building codes, the Lease Premises are under exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Government and are not subject to the zoning regulations of Lehman Township or Pike County. Construction design, authorization, and permitting will be required to comply with one or several of the following: the Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines; National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and Section 106 compliance; National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code; International Building Code (IBC); National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13 Standards for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems; NFPA 914 Code for Protection of Historical Structures; and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). State and local governments may have a limited right to levy and collect certain kinds of taxes or assessments. Please note that your proposal may trigger compliance processes in accordance with one or more of the laws, regulations or policies stated in Section A(1) “Jurisdiction…” of this RFP. The cost of any such compliance process as well as the costs of plan check, code review and construction inspections will be borne by the Lessee. One of the Lessee’s obligations under the Lease is to comply, at its sole cost and expense, with all Applicable Laws and Requirements (including Federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, requirements and policies) in fulfilling its obligations under the lease agreement. It is the responsibility of the Lessee to determine whether it is subject to specific taxes or assessments. Any comments made by the NPS in this RFP do not alter those responsibilities, if any, nor should they be construed to take a position nor express a view on behalf of the Lessee. For law enforcement matters, Lessor has concurrent jurisdiction with local and state law enforcement agencies. The property for Lease may be used for the following purposes or other purposes as approved by the NPS: Restaurant; Art Center; Professional Offices (medical, accounting, legal, consulting, etc.); Retail; or Housing. The term of the Lease will be negotiated with the selected Offeror. The term shall be as short as possible, taking into account the financial obligations of the Lessee and other factors related to determining an appropriate lease term. No lease shall have a term of more than 60 years and the NPS anticipates a term between 5 and 10 years depending on the actual costs to rehabilitate. The lease term will commence as soon as possible following selection of the best offer, completion of any required compliance work, and property valuation by the NPS. The Lessee will be required by the Lease to pay at least fair market value rent (FMVR) to the NPS. The FMVR will be determined by the NPS after selection of the best proposal. The FMVR determination will take into account any restrictions on the use of the property or terms of the Lease that limit the value and/or the highest and best use of the property and any requirements under the Lease for the Lessee to restore, rehabilitate or otherwise improve the leased property. The Lessee may be required to post a surety bond to ensure payment of a minimum of one year’s rent and/or obtain personal guarantees from its principals. A surety bond may also be required to cover the Lessee’s entire cost of any rehabilitation of the property required by the Lease. The proposed terms and conditions of the offered Lease are as described in Attachment A “Draft Lease” included in this RFP and are consistent with 36 CFR Part 18. Final terms will be negotiated between NPS and the selected Offeror. This Lease opportunity is open to all interested persons and businesses on a competitive basis. Whichever Offeror submits the proposal judged best under the proposal selection criteria will be given an opportunity to negotiate a final Lease agreeable to both the Offeror and NPS. The NPS will hold site tours upon request. To obtain further information regarding this Request for Proposals, please contact Leslie Morlock, Chief of Strategic Planning and Project Management at DEWA leslie_morlock@nps.gov or 570 426-2418. Questions not addressed in this RFP will be collected in writing and responded to through issuance of Question & Answers (Q&A).
