Description

The California Department of General Services, on behalf of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, is seeking interest from telecommunication companies to enter into a long-term lease for state-owned prison property to construct telecommunication towers and infrastructure. The selected party will be responsible for site selection, due diligence, construction, installation, operation, maintenance, repair, and alteration of the telecommunication tower and appurtenant infrastructure. The lease term is negotiable, with existing terms ranging from 20 to 30 years. The state is looking for proposals that include above-ground equipment storage for the state's use and telecommunication infrastructure to support the state's operational needs. Interested parties must submit a letter of interest and proposal, which will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Some key points to consider: • The lease term is negotiable, with existing terms ranging from 20 to 30 years. • The state is looking for proposals that include above-ground equipment storage for the state's use and telecommunication infrastructure to support the state's operational needs. • Interested parties must submit a letter of interest and proposal, which will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. • The state reserves the right to reject all proposals and cancel the request for interest at any time. • The selected party will be responsible for site selection, due diligence, construction, installation, operation, maintenance, repair, and alteration of the telecommunication tower and appurtenant infrastructure.

Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $50,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as it depends on various factors such as the number of sites selected, the terms of the lease, and the costs associated with constructing and maintaining the telecommunication towers and infrastructure. However, considering the long-term nature of the lease (20-30 years) and the potential for multiple sites, the budget could be substantial. A rough estimate could be in the range of $10 million to $50 million per year, depending on the specifics of the project. The state's willingness to provide rent mitigation to facilitate the use of the infrastructure by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation could also impact the budget.
