The purpose of the Lease is to design, construct, install, operate, and maintain cellular infrastructures to support users across Joint Base San Antonio where military missions are performed as well as centers of the community and housing neighborhoods with the goal of achieving fence-to-fence coverage.

In order to address gaps in coverage, the Air Force is streamlining the process to grant leases for commercial broadband deployment to improve comprehensive coverage and increased capacity across its enterprise. It is anticipated that this streamlined process will encourage greater partnership between the Air Force and commercial providers. The goal is to team with commercial industry for the installation of additional cellular infrastructure to deliver expanded coverage and increased capacity on Air Force bases.

Exchange for Cash or In-Kind Consideration. The Government shall receive rent in the form of cash or in-kind consideration in a total amount not less than the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the leasehold interest for the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of the offer. The Enabling Statute authorizes the Government to accept in-kind consideration in addition to, or in lieu of cash rent. During exclusive negotiations, the Government and the Successful Offeror(s) will develop and finalize the processes by which the Offeror(s) will deliver the consideration to the Government.

Subleases. The sublease of space and/or telecommunication services to other commercial carriers is allowed under the lease, the Lessee shall provide the Government, as Additional Rent, thirty-five (35) percent of the sublease revenue.
