Ozanich, (415)556-1388x228 Addendum to Request for Proposals to
Renovate and Manage Residential Buildings in a National Historic
Landmark District, Presidio of San Francisco, California. This notice,
originally published in the CBD dated 2/10/95, is modified as follows:
I. Introduction. On February 15, 1995, the National Park Service (NPS)
issued a request for proposals (RFP) for a lessee(s)(Housing
Manager(s)) to rehabilitate, lease, and manage historic residential
buildings within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) under
the terms of a master lease at the Presidio of San Francisco pursuant
to Section 111 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as
amended (16 U.S.C. 470h3). All proposals were required to be submitted
by April 17, 1995. The RFP stated that the buildings available to the
Housing Manager under this RFP included 123 historically significant
residential buildings containing 227 units with approximately 625,000
total gross square feet. Other Presidio buildings may be made
available, in the future, to the Housing Manager if otherwise
appropriate and permissible under applicable authorities. However, no
nonhistoric residential buildings will be made available under this
RFP. The RFP also stated that NPS intends to undertake certain
improvements and provide certain services at the Presidio to enhance
its quality. The planned improvements and services are subject to the
availability of appropriated funds for these purposes. Subsequent to
the issuance of the RFP and before evaluation of any of the submittals,
the Department of Defense (DOD), pursuant to an Irrevocable Permit held
by the Department of the Army, has advised the NPS that it has a need
for up to 300 housing units within the Presidio which potentially could
include some or many of those units described in the RFP. Additionally,
the NPS has received seismic evaluation reports which set forth
recommended corrective actions for certain units. And lastly, the
criteria for occupancy of the various housing units in the RFP did not
fully reflect the legal requirements for achieving fair market rental
values as required by the NHPA. Accordingly, the NPS has determined
that it is necessary to reopen the RFP for new proposals or
modifications of previously submitted proposals for an additional sixty
days. II. Summary of Buildings. The RFP identified 123 historic
residential buildings containing 227 units which would be available for
lease under this RFP. In addition, due to new DOD requirements for up
to 300 units of housing within the Presidio, some or many of the units
which had been set forth in the RFP as available for lease may, in
fact, not be available. Negotiations with DOD have commenced, but have
not been concluded. NPS may withdraw previously identified units from
this offering as a result of final decisions reached with the DOD. The
NPS, however, does not expect the number of available units to be less
than one hundred and five (105). The NPS has also received detailed
seismic reports for approximately eight (8) representative units. These
reports indicate that additional costs may have to be undertaken by the
prospective housing manager before tenants will be allowed to occupy
the premises. III. Eligibility Criteria. The RFP sets forth the
eligibility criteria for occupants of the housing units in accordance
with the program goals of the Final General Management Plan Amendment
(GMPA) and the Final Environmental Impact Statement. The criteria give
preference to Presidio Park Partner employees who are engaged in
activities in support of or are compatible with Presidio goals. The
National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulations set
forth a requirement that historic leases shall be for no less than fair
market rental value which is to be determined by qualified professional
real estate appraisers. Fair market rental value will be prepared in
accordance with professional standards and practices, taking into
consideration all factors influencing value including special and
unique provisions and/or limitations on the use of the property
contained in the lease. This fair market value determination is to be
made on the basis of the rental values of the properties in comparison
with similar properties in the area without regard to occupancy
preferences (see 36 C.F.R. 18.5). The determination of fair market
rental value will also take into account rental rates both before and
after rehabilitation costs which are necessary for adequate
preservation of the buildings. Individuals with an occupancy preference
will have a right of first refusal to available housing units under
terms to be set forth in the master lease. If there are housing units
which are not rented at fair market value by employees of Presidio Park
Partners in exercise of their right of first refusal, other occupants
will be permitted. Examples of additional potential occupants include
employees of other GGNRA Park Partners, visiting faculty to area
colleges and universities, employees of contractors providing goods and
services to support Presidio activities, and any other individuals who
wish to reside at the Presidio under the goals of the GMPA and the
purposes of the GGNRA. Although the occupancy preference is an
important NPS goal, it is the obligation of the NPS to seek to achieve
full occupancy of the housing units at fair market rental value in
order to protect the interests of the United States and to insure
adequate preservation of historic properties. A copy of the master
lease NPS intends to enter into pursuant to the RFP will available upon
request within thirty (30) days of the date of this Addendum. IV.
Summary. This Addendum to the RFP clarifies the potential costs,
purposes and goals of the NPS for its proposed leasing of historic
residential properties at the Presidio in light of the matters
discussed above. These clarifications should be considered as amending
applicable portions of the RFP and may affect certain assumptions
which were or were not made by individuals or organizations in response
to the RFP. Those organizations which have already submitted proposals
may, but are not required to, modify their proposals. Other
organizations or individuals may submit proposals by the time and date
indicated below. Copies of the RFP, along with this Addendum, may be
obtained by calling John Ozanich at 415-556-1388 or by writing the
address below. The RFP contains the procedures and form by which
proposals should be submitted. All persons interested in making a
submittal are urged to make an inspection of prototype buildings and
all available records, plans, specifications, or other such
documentation. Additional inspection dates are: June 22 and July 6,
1995 (call for time and location). Successful submittals must
demonstrate the capacity to plan, finance, and implement the full reuse
of the buildings selected in the proposer's Conceptual Rehabilitation,
Leasing, and Management Plan. Following evaluation of submittals, the
NPS may choose to commence master lease negotiations with one or more
parties. The NPS reserves the right to reject any or all submittals or
terminate lease negotiations at any time. Submittals must be received
by the NPS Presidio Project Office by 4:00 p.m., PDT, on August 4, 1995
