The Department of the Army (“DA”) is issuing this Request for Proposals (“RFP” or “Solicitation”) to solicit competitive proposals from private, public and/or not-for-profit entities interested in leasing non-excess DA land (“Properties”) under a long-term lease agreement(s) (“Enhanced Use Lease” or “EUL”) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Fort Detrick, Letterkenny Army Depot, Picatinny Arsenal, Tobyhanna Army Depot, and/or West Point Military Reservation (“Installations”). The EUL(s) that would result from this RFP would be for the purpose of the selected Offeror(s) designing, financing, permitting, developing, constructing, installing, owning, maintaining, operating, securing, and decommissioning a commercial power generation facility (“Project”). Such power generation could include natural gas, geothermal, nuclear, or solar. Proposals for nuclear energy cannot exceed 500 megawatts (MW) per unit. During normal grid operations, DA expects that all power generated by the Project will be sold to a third-party off-taker. The selected Offeror will be responsible for identifying and securing this off-taker. During grid outages, the Lessee will provide essential energy resilience capabilities to DA for mission readiness as further discussed in this RFP. For purposes of this RFP, a grid outage is defined as any grid outage exceeding four (4) hours. DA may elect to award one or more EULs pursuant to this RFP. Prior to expiration of the EUL(s), Lessee(s) will be required to restore the Property to the condition it was in prior to execution of the EUL(s). Pursuant to its leasing authority codified at 10 U.S.C. § 2667 and provided as Attachment A, DA intends to execute an EUL(s) with a selected Offeror(s) (“Lessee”) for a term of fifty (50) years. DA may consider an option to renew the EUL for an additional period of time following expiration of the initial fifty (50) year term if proposed by the Offeror in its Proposal and as further described in Section 6.1.a. Consideration to be provided by the Lessee to DA for the EUL will be in-kind, cash, or a combination thereof in an amount not less than the fair market value of the lease interest as determined by an appraisal to be completed by DA. The Lessee(s) under the EUL(s) will, in part (subject to the terms and conditions of the EUL), be authorized and responsible for financing, designing, developing, operating, securing, and maintaining the Project and shall be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, including building codes, as they may be amended from time to time. The Project(s) shall be viable without any commitment or contribution, monetary or otherwise, from DA. DA envisions that development of the Project(s) will entail a well-planned and coordinated endeavor to utilize the Properties in a manner that will not conflict with adjacent Installation ongoing mission-related activities or the surrounding community. Offerors may propose a Project(s) on all or a portion of the Properties at any one or more of the Installations. DA may elect to select more than one Offeror for award and may consider multiple Projects. Offerors may submit proposals to develop a single tract or multiple tracts. Proposals must clearly identify the portion(s) and associated acreage(s) of the Properties proposed for lease by the Offeror. This RFP may be amended or supplemented and all such amendments and supplements shall be considered part of this RFP (and references to the RFP shall include all amendments and supplements, unless otherwise specified). To receive any amendments or supplements to this RFP, Offerors will be required to refer to the RFP posting on sam.gov. DA reserves the right, at any time, without notice, at its sole and absolute discretion, to
