AFP for Lease of Parcel 7 at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center

This Announcement for Proposals (AFP) solicits proposals for the lease of Parcel 7 at MSFC (Property). The Property can only be leased in whole.

The Property (Exhibit A, Graphic Descriptions of Parcel 7) is centrally located within the boundaries of MSFC, which is surrounded by the U.S. Army Redstone Arsenal. The Property is approximately 5.1 acres. It is relatively flat with the western third containing mixed deciduous forest. The Property can accommodate multiple users performing concurrent, discrete activities.

The Property will be available at award in its current condition for a ten-year (10-year) base term with an additional two (2) 10-year options. Proposers may request during the Question-and-Answer Period (defined herein) alternate terms based on their business model for NASA’s consideration if the above 30-year term is not preferred.

Utilities available and adjacent to the Property include electricity, potable water, industrial water, sanitary sewer, natural gas, and high-pressure gases. Available communications duct banks are located approximately 1,500 ft to the west of the site.

Center support services not otherwise available from the private sector, including fire protection, security/law enforcement, and utilities, will be provided by MSFC and the U.S. Army Garrison - Redstone with reimbursement by the tenant under a separate services agreement.

The Property is subject to environmental contamination and includes a stormwater conveyance system. Two abandoned industrial sewer lines, one running northeast-southwest in the northwestern corner of the Property, and another running north-south in the center of the Property, have environmental controls requiring mitigation measures if disturbed. A drainage swale traverses the northwest corner of the Property. This swale serves as a storm water conveyance system for sites north of the Property. Due to potential presence of threatened and endangered bat species, tree clearing exceeding one acre is subject to approval by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which may require surveys and seasonal restrictions. The selected Proposer is expected to work with the NASA natural resource manager and to fund any required surveys and timber clearing.
