What Is The Purpose Of Today’s Industry Day?

• Provide industry with a clear overview of available land at Naval Station Great Lakes (NSGL) and the characteristics of each parcel.

• Explain the federal real estate leasing process and applicable authorities.

• Gather market insight to better understand current development conditions.

• Assess industry interest and potential concepts for long-term development, redevelopment, or reuse of multiple parcels at NSGL.

• Inform the Government’s consideration of a potential future solicitation.

• Any response to the RFI is for information-gathering purposes only and does not create a commitment or agreement for either party.

Real Estate Authorities Amanda Pack

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command – Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Division Director / Real Estate Contracting Officer

What Is a Lease Under Title 10?

• What is a Title 10 Authority?

• Title 10 authorities give the military legal power to carry out real estate actions needed to support their missions.

• What is Title 10 U.S.C. § 2667 Leases?

• Under this authority, military installations can lease land, buildings, facilities, or other unused property to private companies, local governments, or organizations.

Instead of paying cash rent, the lessee provides In-Kind Consideration (IKC).

• What is In-Kind Consideration (IKC)?

• IKC is payment in services to the installation instead of cash (the lessee contracts services for the installation).

• Examples of needed services the lessee can contract for the lessor: road repair, roof repair, infrastructure repair/upgrades.

• IKC amount is determined during the negotiation process.

What Does The Lease Process Look Like?

PHASE I – PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION

• Review installation assets

• Identify underutilized or excess property

• Issue Request for Information (RFI)

PHASE II – MARKET OUTREACH AND SOLICITATION

• Conduct market research and environmental review

• Issue Request for Proposals (RFP) via SAM.gov

PHASE III – PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT & EVALUATION

• Offerors submit technical and financial proposals

• Government evaluates based on mission fit and best value

PHASE IV – NEGOTIATION & AGREEMENT

• Negotiate lease terms. Performance requirements, and compliance

• Execute Enhanced Use Lease (EUL)

PHASE V – IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT

• Lessee begins project development

• NAVFAC oversees performance and compliance

What Are The Benefits Of Operating On Federal Land?

• Property Taxes

• Federal land is exempt from state and local property taxes.

• Businesses may structure leases so they aren’t paying traditional property taxes, which lowers operating costs significantly compared to private land.

• Permitting & Zoning

• Land use/zoning is often pre-cleared under federal authority, reducing local zoning hurdles.

• Some activities may avoid lengthy rezoning or variance processes required in civilian jurisdictions.

• Environmental Streamlining

• Federal installations already have environmental baseline surveys (EBS) and compliance frameworks in place.

• This can mean less upfront environmental due diligence for lessees, since DoD has ongoing NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) compliance.

• Potential for DoD to shoulder some long-term remediation obligations, lowering risk to the business.

Benefits of Operating on Federal Land (Cont.)

• Stability & Security

• Federal land is not subject to sudden eminent domain by local governments or private acquisition.

• Installations offer long-term lease security (often up to 50 years), which reduces risk.

• partnerships between military security and local law enforcement tend to create more oversight than in a typical civilian city area.

• Local Government Exemptions

• Many local permitting, inspection, and impact fees don’t apply the same way on federal property.

• Streamlined processes can reduce project startup time and costs.
