W -- LEASE OF 173-ACRE WILLOUGHBY SITE, NAVAL BASE, NORFOLK, VA Sol LO-331, Due 010696, POC Real Estate Contracting Officer, J. Emery Nichols, fax (804) 322-4913. Under the authority of PL 102-190, Section 2838, RFP will request proposals for private sector development and management of the 173-acre (more or less) Navy-owned waterfront site located at the 4th View Street Exit of I-64 in the Ocean View area of Norfolk, VA and known as the Willoughby Navy property. Some of the potential land uses include hotel/conference center, marina, recreation facilities, quality retail establishments, and compatible modern residential structures. If an acceptable proposal is received, and Congress approves the proposal, Navy may lease the site for long term, on an ``as-is, where-is'' basis, and in consideration for the developer providing the use of administrative space, residential housing units, or other facilities. No appropriation or Navy expenditure is available for the project. RFP will require a brief, comprehensive development concept narrative; preliminary site plan with architectural sketches; financial feasibility plan specifying consideration to the Navy and fund sources; schedule for development; and developer legal commitment requirements; all sufficient to enable a determination whether it would be mutually advantageous to competitively negotiate and award a lease of the site.
