FORD ISLAND DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION MEETING Interested parties are invited to attend a Ford Island Development Information Meeting to be conducted September 14 and 15, 2000, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, Hawaii. The purpose of this meeting is to provide an overview of the Ford Island Development project and to allow the Navy to obtain industry feedback. Attendees will be provided a tour of Ford Island and the other development properties. Access to the Ford Island Development web site is available at the following URL: http://www.hawaii.navy.mil. A Preliminary Information Package is available for viewing and downloading, and may be directly accessed by using the Meeting Registration and Preliminary Information Package link, below. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Navy is seeking to establish an agreement with a master developer/operator to implement the long-range development plan for Ford Island within the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex. Under the auspices of the recently adopted Ford Island legislation (10 U.S. Code, Section 2814), the Navy is authorized to enter into such an agreement with a qualified party that would enable it to develop Ford Island more efficiently and expeditiously than using conventional procedures. In order to enhance its position under this agreement, the Navy is able to contribute certain land and building assets which are no longer critical to its mission in return for private sector financing, construction, and long-term maintenance of its Ford Island facilities. Some of these assets will be offered to the selected contractor in fee while others, which are part of the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex, will be subject to long-term leases. FUTURE PROCUREMENT PROCESS: Following evaluation of feedback received as a result of this Information Meeting, the Navy will issue a draft request for proposals (RFP). Private sector parties will have an opportunity to provide comments regarding the draft RFP, and these comments will be considered by the Navy prior to issuance of the formal RFP. At this time, no solicitation documents are available and proposals are not being solicited.
