The U.S. Government, by and through USACE, currently leases land under a lease in the city and state specified above, that will be expiring. The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous.

The Government’s desire is for a land lease to include base rent, taxes, and insurance for land for an initial term of one (1) year with Government termination rights and renewal rights for four (4) additional one (1) year terms and location within the delineated area specified above. Offered space must meet Government requirements per the terms of the Government Lease. Interested respondents may include land owners and representatives with the exclusive right to represent land owners. Representatives of land owners must include the exclusivity granting the exclusive right to represent the land owner with their response to this advertisement.
Additional Requirements:
- Space must be conducive to conducting military exercises.
- Space should not be located within the 100-year floor plain or wetland unless the Government has determined it to be the only practicable alternative.
- Space should not located near establishments whose primary operation is the sale of alcoholic beverages, firearms sold/discharged, marijuana dispensaries, or where there are tenants or invitees related to drug treatment or detention facilities.
