COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JUNE 29,1999 PSA#2377

Y -- SAMS-COMPLEX This is a request for interest from the real estate industry to help the Air Force determine how best to relocate from a 42 acre site at El Segundo and Aviation, to a new facility, comprising approximately 650,000 square feet. This request is not a solicitation, a request for proposals nor any type of offer. No funding will be available for those responding to this request. The Air Force currently occupies approximately 835,000 square feet of 40 year old buildings located on an approximate 42 acre site at 2400 E. El Segundo Blvd. This site is visible from the (405) Freeway and is accessible off of El Segundo Blvd. and Aviation. The Air Force is seeking a developer who will develop a new Class _A_ facility for 650,000 square feet on an adjacent 52 acre piece at El Segundo Blvd. and Douglas, in exchange for the 42 acre site. In addition, the Air Force will consider relocating to an alternate complex location within the greater Los Angeles area that is within a 60-minute commute of the Fort McArthur housing area and no more than 30 minutes from the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo. Proposed alternate sites will require support facilities on Area B such as the medical clinic, fitness center, base exchange, commissary, etc. to be relocated. To the greatest extent practical, the Air Force intends to use best commercial practices for this project. This project will not be subject to Federal Acquisition Regulations and enabling Federal legislation will be necessary before the Air Force may offer its real estate to a private developer. The current outdated facilities are located on Area A of the Los Angeles Air Force Base, and consists of seven multi-story buildings. These buildings comprise approximately 835,000 square feet and are beyond economic repair or renovation to meet current standards. New facilities need to be constructed on Area B, or equivalent sites that a developer may have for 650,000 square feet in a phased development. The time span for this project is negotiable, but the Air Force presently plans to select a developer in 2000 for a project start date in 2001. The Air Force is interested in receiving a concise response from private industry regarding the project as follows: (1) A statement of initial interest by the developer to include their development expertise, financial strength, and past performance, that would enable the developer to respond and build this development. This package should be delivered within 10 workdays of receipt of this RSI. (2) Following our receipt of your initial response, we will forward general information regarding the existing LAAFB property. Within 30 days of this package release, request you provide a general reaction to the proposed Air Force approach to exchanging existing land in return for private sector construction of new office space or exchange for suitable facilities in the greater Los Angeles area. After our review of your responses, the Air Force may conduct generic discussions with select respondents to further refine market plan information. This information will be used to assess the viability of the concept. Should the Air Force pursue this concept further, a solicitation will be issued. The Air Force recognizes this announcement does not contain sufficient information for private industry to provide a thorough market evaluation. The Air Force has retained The Seeley Company to provide a market overview and analyze the feasibility of consolidating Air Force Area A functions onto new facilities constructed by a private developer on Air Force Area B, or alternative sites. If your company has the overall capability, expertise and finances to develop and build a project of this magnitude for the Air Force and you are interested in obtaining additional information, would you please respond to: Steve Cramer / Mike Condon, The Seeley Company, 2050 West 190th Street, #101, Torrance, CA 90504, (310) 787-1000 BP, (310) 787-6871 FAX. Please provide your company_s name, representative_s name and position, title, mail and e-mail addresses, phone and facsimile numbers, and brief synopsis of your company_s capabilities as part of your request.
