Sigsbee Park Townhomes RFI
KEY WEST, Florida – A Request for Interest (RFI) has been issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast, in support of the Department of the Navy (DON), to seek information on how developers could open the 166 vacant townhomes located on the Sigsbee Park Annex at Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West.
NAS Key West desires to lease the 166 Sigsbee Park townhouses, currently in caretaker status, to improve the condition of the property through in-kind consideration and provide needed affordable housing for junior DoD workforce personnel and their families in the lower Florida Keys area.
The RFI is a market research tool issued to determine the availability and adequacy of potential business sources for the DON’s information and planning purposes. The RFI asks for information on how an interested developer could renovate, redevelop, and/or otherwise utilize the 166 units. The developer should be prepared to engage with the DON in a ground lease under 10 U.S.C. 2667 allowing the developer to manage the property.
This is a request for interest only. In determining the best course of action, individuals are encouraged to attend an Industry Forum and site visit of the 166 vacant townhomes on July 12, 2017. The Industry Forum will provide an opportunity for the DON and industry to meet for a question and answer session and site visit to the existing townhomes. The site visit will allow potential responders to walk the premises and visually inspect the townhomes.
All costs associated with this RFI process and the responders’ travel to the Industry Forum and site visit shall be at their sole expense and shall not be reimbursed by the DON.
The Industry Forum is open only to potential developers vetted through NAVFAC Southeast. RFI Information can be found at https://www.fbo.gov/notices/
