the private sector interested in a housing privatization initiative at
the installation. It will be conducted under the authority of Title 10,
United States Code, Chapter 169, Subchapter IV-Alternate Authority for
Acquisition and Improvement of Military Housing (10 U.S.C. __
2871-2885). Estimated dollar value is approximately $20-50M. The
Goodfellow AFB housing requirement is 258 family housing units. The
grade mix for this housing requirement is approximately 4% senior
officers (O4-O6), 8% junior officers (O1-O3), 9% senior enlisted
(E7-E9), 60% mid-grade enlisted (E4-E6) and 17% junior enlisted
(E1-E3). 2. The government will not provide any direct loans or
guarantees as defined in 10 U.S.C. _ 2873. The government will not
provide any investments as defined in 10 U.S.C. _ 2875, such as
investments in limited partnerships, purchases of stock or other equity
instruments, or purchases of bonds or other debt instruments. The
government will convey 98 existing units (24 fourplex units constructed
in 1941 and 2 single-family units constructed in 2000) and lease to the
proposer 15 acres of land currently occupied by the existing units. The
land lease will be granted for a period of up to 50 years at nominal
cash rental. The government pays the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
to the military member referred to privatized housing, and the
government may direct the rent be paid by the member through an
allotment. The proposer shall not charge for rent and utilities an
amount exceeding the BAH designated for the specific units as outlined
below. The 24 fourplex units are designated for the following military
grade structure: 3 E-1(s), 4 E-2(s), 15 E-3(s), 23 E-4(s), 28 E-5(s),
and 23 E-6(s). The 2 single family units will be occupied by officer
grade O-6. BAH rates for Goodfellow AFB can be found at
www.dtic.mil/perdiem/bahform.html. The proposer is responsible for all
funding, taxes, construction, facility/road/grounds maintenance and
repairs, utilities, and refuse collection for all existing and proposed
housing. The government will also lease an additional 44 acres of land
on the installation for the same period of up to 50 years at a nominal
cash rental for the construction of additional housing to meet the
government_s requirements. Proposers are advised this amount of land
may or may not be of sufficient acreage to totally meet the
government_s requirement, and any additional acreage is the
responsibility of the proposer. The government requires a minimum of
nine units be constructed to satisfy requirements for key and essential
housing (three O-6 units, three O-5 units, two O-4 units and one E-9
unit) within 18 months of contract award. The proposer shall provide a
minimum of 60 units ready for occupancy by 2007. Units shall be single
family or duplex units. The size of the units will be consistent with
Air Force standards as noted in the below chart. A minimum of 25% of
the units shall have four bedrooms and the balance shall have three
bedrooms. Military Pay Grade No. of Bedrooms Net Floor Area (sf) O6 4

3 / 4 1200/1350 00/1350 The proposer will receive the corresponding BAH
for the military member occupying each privatized unit, with rent and
utilities capped at BAH as above. The government provides no guarantee
of occupancy. Accompanied members (with families) will be referred to
the housing development management element staffed and operated by the
proposer, and the military members will have the option of renting or
not renting the units. The Air Force will not assign or otherwise
require them to live in the housing. In the event government referrals
for units in the development are not sufficient and the occupancy rate
of the development falls below ninety-five percent for any consecutive
three month period, the offeror shall have the right to offer vacant
units for occupancy to "other tenants" at rates no lower or more
favorable than the referral rates charged to accompanied military
members. Each vacant unit eligible for occupancy by "other tenants"
shall be offered for rent by the proposer for not longer than a
one-year period and based on the following priority: unaccompanied
military members, Federal civil service employees, military retirees,
Goodfellow AFB contractors, and the general public. If other tenants
occupy any units on base, the government retains the right to re-fence
its boundary and sever the units from the base proper. All units
constructed by the proposer on leased, government land must be
architecturally compatible with the brick construction of the two
existing senior officer housing units on Goodfellow AFB. The proposer
is responsible for renovating all existing units to current standards
after 25 years of ownership as well as all newly constructed units
after 25 years of ownership. The proposer is responsible for fire
protection, security, and basic services for all units outside the base
confines, and in the event the on-base units are severed from the
confines of thebase, the proposer would also be responsible to arrange
for the fire and security protection of those units. All units and the
development shall be constructed to meet Air Force, federal, state, and
city of San Angelo code, laws, regulations, and standards. The
government has no financial obligation if occupancy rates cannot be
sustained. 3. The government has received an unsolicited proposal from
the City of San Angelo TX to privatize Goodfellow Air Force Base_s
military family housing assets that is consistent with and in some
respects exceeds the requirements stated above. 4. The government seeks
proposals that meet or exceed the Air Force requirement. All

concept, and a CPA certified financial pro forma in sufficient detail

requirements outlined in this synopsis. Evidence of financial ability
