Description
This solicitation seeks a private commercial lessee for an approximately 500‑acre parcel at Davis‑Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, Arizona, under an Enhanced Use Leasing (EUL) arrangement. The lessee must finance, design, construct, and operate a new Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM) range—including two 50 × 50 m small‑arms ranges, an 800 m long‑range, and a 10,000 sq ft support building—outside the leased parcel but within the installation. All construction, insurance, environmental baseline surveys, NEPA analysis, bonding, and demolition reserve obligations are the lessee’s responsibility, with no federal funding beyond a maximum $250,000 transaction‑cost payment. The lease term can extend up to 50 years pending a Master Lease extension, otherwise limited to the Master Lease’s expiration on 30 Jun 2052. The award will be based on best‑value criteria (project description, financial return, experience, and integrated schedule).
• Lease of ~500 acres on a federal installation, sub‑leasing from a Master Lease that expires 2052.
• Mandatory construction of a CATM range (two small‑arms ranges, one 800 m range, and a 10 k sq ft administrative building).
• Lessee bears all development costs, provides performance/bonding, insurance, environmental surveys, and must meet extensive federal compliance (labor, equal‑opportunity, drug‑free workplace, etc.).
