From discussions with PACAF, USARAK and the NAVFAC Contracting Officers, we
are aware of the following procurements that are intended to be released as a multi-base effort with a single solicitation. This supersedes my last transmission on this subject, because the Navy has just released a new RFI for a grouped series of bases in California. 1. Navy, Southwest. a. Pt Huneme/Pt Mugu were intended as the first procurement on a bundled basis, but they are on hold awaiting funding for Phase 2. They need to do life cycle cost analysis, system condition assessment, and inventory. A draft RFP will be issued to industry for comment. The final RFP, optimistically (according to the NAVFAC SWDiv Commander) could be out as early as this quarter. Doug Powell, the Contracting Officer, says a more realistic date is April-May of 2000. However, Ralph Torres, the NAVFAC Business Line Manager for this procurement, is attending a PACFLT meeting this month in Hawaii to try to hurry this up. b. A new RFI has just hit the street, due 15 Nov 99, for electrical, gas, water, and wastewater privatization at 5 USN locations in Southern California. These are Naval Warfare Assessment Station, Corona, CA; Naval Air Station, Fallon, NV; Naval Air Station, Lemoore, CA; Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach, CA (Main Station); and Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach, CA (Detachment Fallbrook). 2. Marines,Southwest. a. NAVFAC intends to combine 29 Palms, MCLB Barstow, MCAS Yuma and MCRD San Diego into one procurement. We have responded to the RFI, as we have in the case of the Navy, 1.a, above. NAVFAC has has funding for Phase 2 for Barstow and 29 Palms, but not for the other two yet. The RFP is expected to hit the street in the April-May, 2000 time frame. b. NAVFAC intends to combine Camp Pendleton, a large base in CA, with a small base used for mountain warfare training at Bridgeport, CA. The combination is being made for funding lines and chain of command reasons. The real plum here is the very large Marine base at Pendleton. The RFP is currently scheduled for release April, 2000, but we think it will be a few months later to have the above 4-base procurement hit the street first. 3. Navy, Northwest. NAVFAC intends to release virtually all their Northwest activities in a single solicitation. This includes the following locations: -Naval Subase bangor -Camp Wesley Harris -Olalla Housing -Port Hadlock -Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Keyport -Naval Station Bremerton -Naval Hospital Bremerton -Jackson Park Naval Houising -Naval Fuel Depot Manchester -Naval Station Everett -Naval Radio Station Jim Creek -MWR Pacific Beach -Naval Air Station Whidbey Island EFSI was invited to present at their Industry forum in Seattle where this procurement was announced on 4 Aug 99. An RFI is out, with response due 15 Nov 99. The final RFP is scheduled to be released in Jan 01. 4. Joint Regional Privatization Project (JRUPP) Alaska. This is an agreement with the USAF and the US Army to combine their facilities at Elmendorf AFB, Kulis ANG Base, the Army National Guard Base, and Ft Richardson all into a single procurement. DESC is the project manager. An RFI for these locations just hit the street. Our retired friend, USAF COL Don Michael Bradford instigated this joint procurement, and is still a good source of information in the Pacific. Procurement is being accelerated with the USAF catching up to where the Army is, so schedule for an RFP is currently unknown. USAF RFIs have just been published.
