Lease of Aviation Hangar with Offices, Building #22 (9, 175 SF)

The City of Temple, Texas, is seeking proposals for the lease of Building #22, a 9,175-square-foot aviation hangar located at the Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport in Bell County. The procurement opportunity involves leasing a facility that includes approximately 7,275 square feet of hangar space with two 20-foot-high by 60-foot-wide sliding doors and two 8-foot-high by 10.5-foot-wide rolling doors, along with 1,800 square feet of interior office space and a restroom with a shower. Proposers must demonstrate their intended use of the hangar, highlighting how their proposed services will enhance general aviation and contribute to the local economy. The evaluation criteria will prioritize projected lease compensation, including in-kind services and proposed capital improvements, the overall benefit to general aviation in Temple, the proposed use of the hangar, qualifications of key personnel, lease terms, and the proposer's financial capacity. The proposal submissions are due on November 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central, with an expected lease term commencement between January and March 2026. The City is seeking a minimum monthly lease payment of $4.91 per square foot for the initial year, with the successful proposer responsible for making necessary improvements, covering utility and maintenance expenses, and maintaining the facility in good working order.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement opportunity. The current tenant's lease expires on December 31, 2025, with a move-out period of up to 90 days provided to the incumbent if they are not awarded the new lease. Proposers must complete and submit a Proposer Information Form and a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire as part of their proposal package. The lease will be subject to annual appropriations by the City Council and may be renewed for additional terms upon mutual agreement. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the minimum monthly lease payment of $4.91 per square foot provides a baseline for potential financial expectations. Proposers will need to demonstrate financial capacity and provide detailed information about their proposed use of the hangar, including the types of aircraft to be stored and the specific services to be offered. The lease agreement will require the successful proposer to maintain appropriate insurance and comply with all specified terms and conditions.
