99 -- PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY SOL DAAE30-99-Q-0100 DUE 113098 POC Mr. Steve Talmadge, Contract Specialist, (973) 724-5663 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/cbd/DraftRFP/99Q0100/99Q0100.htm. E-MAIL: Steven M. Talmadge, talmadge@pica.army.mil. The United States Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center is issuing a draft Request for Qualifications in seeking a developer to provide asset management and development services to Picatinny Arsenal located in Rockaway Township NJ. The facility which is approximately 40 miles west of New York City consists of approximately 6,000 acres of land in Morris County, NJ. Picatinny wants to consider other uses of the arsenal s assets compatible with the mission of TACOM-ARDEC and it s customers in order to capture the highest return to the Government. The Government intends that its relationship with the selected developer will be one of mutual cooperation and benefit, a relationship commonly referred to as a Public Private Partnership. By making Picatinny s underdeveloped and underutilized assets available for other uses, Picatinny may be able to create value and income that can be applied to installation needs. Commercial facilities may also be developed to permit joint use with Picatinny so as to minimize government expenditures. Picatinny s draft RFQ and executive summary for this effort will be available for downloading from the World Wide Web Electronic Commerce Home Page available at the following address: http://procnet.pica.army.mil.
