Description

The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE), operating on behalf of the Air Force Materiel Command will host an Industry Forum at Kirtland Air Force Base from September 27 until September 28, 2000. This forum will provide potential bidders with an overview of financial and technical elements of the upcoming solicitation release for the Kirtland AFB Privatization/Construction Initiative. An afternoon session on September 27 will present specifics of the project, which will be followed by a no-host icebreaker at the Kirtland AFB Mountain View Club. The morning of September 28 will provide an opportunity to tour Kirtland AFB and each housing neighborhood included in the privatization project. Interested participants should contact Kormendi Gardner Partners to register attendance at kafb@kgpartners.com or phone 703-741-1869. This Industry Forum will be the only opportunity for potential bidders to visit Kirtland AFB prior to the formal release of the Request for Proposal (RFP) by mid-October 2000. General scope of the Kirtland Project involves the demolition of 1,573 obsolete on-base housing units, the construction of 953 new units, and the long term (up to 50 years) management, operation and maintenance of those 953 units plus 211 existing units that were recently constructed (a total of 1,164 units). Also described very generally, the Air Force expects to contribute leased real property and improvements for the project's execution. The Air Force expects the successful private offeror to contribute cash equity, obtain private sector debt, and be responsible for managing and operating the Kirtland Project for the duration of the long term lease with the Government. Central to the transaction is a lease from the Air Force to the Successful Offeror of several parcels of real property located on Kirtland AFB. At the closing of the transaction, the Successful Offeror will become the lessee of these parcels, all of which are presently improved with housing units that together comprise family housing at Kirtland AFB. AFCEE has engaged KORMENDI GARDNER PARTNERS ("KGP"), a financial advisory firm with offices in Washington, D.C., to support AFCEE in this privatization project. KGP and its team of subcontractors (the "KGP Team"), including PricewaterhouseCoopers, Greenhorne & O'Mara, Inc., and Eastham Johnson Monnheimer & Jontz, P.C., will support AFCEE in every aspect of conducting the Industry Forum, soliciting prospective offerors, evaluating submissions, closing the transaction and monitoring the Successful Offeror's post-closing performance. AFCEE and other Air Force and Defense Department organizations will ultimately review KGP's analyses and recommendations, and will make the ultimate decisions that result in selection of the Successful Offeror. Potential bidders should contact KGP no later than September 22, 2000 to register their intent to attend the Industry Forum at Kirtland AFB.
