1. Project Limits: How restricted are the boundaries?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The RFQ section 1.1(c) page 6 states that the AF is soliciting proposals from entities interested in leasing all of Parcel A and all or any portion of Parcel B. Similarly, RFQ Section 3.4, SUBFACTOR 1.2 page 16 and page 17 gives Offeror’s the flexibility to submit uniquely designed size, type, capacity, etc. conceptual plans consistent with RFQ SECTION 1.3 EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS AND

CONDITIONS (h) page 7, RFQ SECTION 2.4 DEVELOPMENT AND USE REQUIREMENTS (b) page 11, and other RFQ requirements.

2. Appraisal: Has the Air Force processed an appraisal of the property?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Yes, the Air Force has completed an initial appraisal. The Air Force will not share this information with potential Offerors as this information supports internal government estimates relative to project costs and potential benefits. The RFQ SECTION 3.5, B, SUBFACTOR 2.1 page 17 and page

18, requires that Offerors substantiate their proposed fair market values with empirical and quantitative data to include the application of Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and Appraisal Institute practices.

3. What does the Air Force consider ‘In-Kind” consideration?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Under 10 U.S. Code §2667(c) in-kind consideration accepted with respect to a lease under this section may include the following:

(A) Maintenance, protection, alteration, repair, improvement, or restoration (including environmental restoration) of property or facilities under the control of the Secretary concerned.

(B) Construction of new facilities for the Secretary concerned.

(C) Provision of facilities for use by the Secretary concerned.

(D) Provision or payment of utility services for the Secretary concerned.
