Borman Baseball Field

The state of California, specifically the Department of General Services State Owned Leasing and Development Unit, is seeking a five-year lease for the Borman Baseball Field located at the Yountville Veterans Home in Napa County. The procurement involves leasing a comprehensive baseball facility comprising approximately 145,000 square feet, which includes a 128,000 square foot ballfield and dugouts, a 5,700 square foot front plaza area, and various grandstand facilities. The facility features specific areas such as concessions, bleachers, restrooms, and accessways, with a total seating capacity of 897 people. The procurement was posted on February 25, 2016, with proposals due by March 14, 2016. Key contact for this opportunity is Mark McGuire, Real Estate Officer, who can be reached at (916) 375-4979 or mark.mcguire@dgs.ca.gov. The leased facility will commence on or about May 1, 2016, and requires a comprehensive understanding of facility management and potential sports/recreational programming.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no specific incumbent vendor information is provided, the detailed architectural drawings from August 12, 2011, suggest pre-existing infrastructure that would require careful integration by the successful lessee. The procurement appears to be a comprehensive facility lease rather than a traditional goods or services contract, which implies potential flexibility in tenant qualifications. Although no specific budget range is mentioned in the documentation, the sophisticated nature of the facility and its location at a Veterans Home suggest a professional-grade leasing arrangement. Potential lessees should be prepared to demonstrate financial stability, facility management experience, and a commitment to maintaining the high-quality infrastructure of this baseball field and associated grandstand facilities.
