About this file

This is a Department of the Air Force Lease of Property template used for leasing real property at Air Force installations to private entities. The lease is for constructing and operating a recreational facility, specifically a waterpark and supporting infrastructure, though the template is adaptable to other uses.

The lease establishes a landlord-tenant relationship between the Government (Secretary of the Air Force) and the Lessee, with terms covering a specified lease period beginning and ending on dates to be filled in. Base rent is payable annually in advance as a lump sum or through in-kind consideration of equivalent fair market value, with annual increases limited to the lesser of three percent or the Consumer Price Index adjustment. The Lessee bears all costs for utilities, janitorial services, refuse collection, building and grounds maintenance, and must maintain property and general liability insurance with minimum limits of $5 million per occurrence and $10 million aggregate, along with specialized coverage if applicable (e.g., airport operator liability at $100 million). The Lessee accepts the premises in "as-is, where-is" condition and is responsible for all repairs, alterations, environmental compliance, and restoration upon lease termination within sixty days. The Government retains rights to access the premises for security, Installation restoration programs, environmental investigations, and other mission-critical purposes with minimal notice requirements for non-emergency access. Default remedies include lease termination for failure to pay rent within ten days or non-compliance with other lease terms after thirty-day cure periods. Environmental provisions require the Lessee to indemnify the Government for contamination caused by Lessee operations, manage hazardous materials and lead-based paint, and comply with all federal and state environmental laws. The lease includes provisions for dispute resolution through AFCEC and higher-level Air Force officials, Congressional reporting requirements per 10 U.S.C. § 2662 if applicable, and compliance with Executive Order 13658 regarding minimum wage if the Lessee's operations trigger federal contractor status.
