PART II - OVERVIEW AND PROJECT INFORMATION

FKACC, a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation, seeks a Master Developer to sub-lease and develop two parcels of public land (one owned by The City of Key West; the other by The Utility Board of the City of Key West) comprising approximately 5.5 acres of land on and adjacent to former Navy property at Truman Annex, as a retirement community consisting of approximately 95-100 independent living units and 40 assisted living units. 

This project represents a significant opportunity for a Master Developer to design, build and operate a 140 unit housing facility in Key West, on land that the voters of Key West have approved to be leased to FKACC, and contiguous land owned by Keys Energy Services, with substantial benefits for the Master Developer, FKACC, the greater Key West area, and Monroe County.   FKACC seeks to partner with select, private businesses and/or not-for-profit organizations to create and operate this retirement community.  

This project is envisioned to advance the retirement-housing objectives of FKACC, the business objectives of the partners, and the needs of elder residents of the greater Key West area.  The project will provide vitally-needed retirement housing through a financially-sound mixed-income model designed for the various financial segments of retirement-age Keys’ residents who do not require full-time nursing care.  Accordingly, private businesses must balance their business model with the FKACC mission, as more fully set forth below.  The Master Developer will be expected to support FKACC’s Guiding Principles for the project (please refer to Exhibit A to this RFP).

FKACC

The mission of the FKACC is to provide a model assisted living community in harmony with the Keys environment and fully integrated within the surrounding community.  In carrying out that mission, FKACC  raised funds for planning the project, identified a suitable site, obtained  Utility Board and City of Key West dedication of the land needed for the project, retained a consultant experienced in creation and operation of  elder-care communities to produce a feasibility and marketing study,  and secured voter approval of a referendum authorizing the City of Key West to enter into a 99-year lease of City-owned land for the planned retirement community. Please refer to FKACC’s web-site, www.fkacc.org, for additional information about FKACC.

Project Site

The retirement community will be located on two contiguous parcels of land totaling approximately 5.5 acres.  The City parcel consists of approximately 4 acres of vacant land located on the former U.S. Navy Truman Annex.  The Utility Board parcel consists of approximately 1.5 acres of land occupied by historic masonry buildings, formerly housing electric generating equipment, located East of the City parcel, between Angela and Geraldine Streets, on the Westerly perimeter of the historic Bahama Village community.  Both parcels are indicated on the map entitled “Truman Waterfront Key West, FL Assisted Living Site Plan”, attached as Exhibit B [note: City parcel is outlined in dark black line; Utility Board parcel is marked “KES”, referring to Keys Energy Services].   

Existing buildings (Utility Board parcel)

The masonry buildings located on the Utility Board parcel are historic structures that formerly housed industrial equipment. The preservation, rehabilitation and reuse of these buildings are an integral part of the project.  The Master Developer will coordinate those efforts with the Historical Architectural Review Commission (“HARC”).

Site Conditions                        

 The Master Developer(s) will be responsible for determining the environmental conditions, geotechnical conditions, utility availability, storm water management plan, applicable land use regulations, and ensuring compliance of the development with any applicable land use, concurrency and other regulations. Site development must accommodate the existing sewer and Navy water lines running through the City parcel.  Additional site information is included in the RFP Exhibits.

Partnership objectives

FKACC’s objective is to establish a mixed income Key West retirement community providing quality housing and related services for retirement-age Keys’ residents who may require some assistance or care, short of full-time nursing care. The need for assisted-living housing was demonstrated by an independent market study, attached hereto as Exhibit D.  To meet that need, FKACC proposes a mix of 90-110 independent living units and 40-50 assisted living units, allocated among low-moderate income and market-rate rentals, and fixed price leases for some independent living apartments, with a return (optimally 80%) upon departure by the lessees.   FKACC will serve as the sponsor of this community, coordinating the public and private efforts necessary to plan, finance, and build the project.  FKACC anticipates that most of the estimated construction cost will be funded by Senior Living Revenue Bonds.  The Master Developer’s ability to embrace FKACC’s mission will be a significant factor in the selection process ancillary benefit to this project. It is not FKACC’s intent to change the private business model to the extent that the housing could not operate in a financially successful manner.

Parking

 
The ability of FKACC to provide adequate parking for residents was identified in the market study as an important element of the project.  The Master Developer must identify the number and location of parking spaces on the site plan submitted as part of the response to this Request.

 
Lease

 The Property will be subleased to a Master Developer under a triple-net lease, the terms of which will be negotiated among the public owners (City and Utility Board), FKACC and the Master Developer. The term of the sublease should be assumed to be between 25 and 50 years.  The sub-lessee will be responsible for all costs and expenses arising from the use, operation, maintenance or occupancy of the property, including any applicable property taxes and insurance costs. The Master Developer must provide a detailed exit strategy at the end of the sublease term.

 
Development Teams

 
Proposing firms may comprise teams or joint ventures, will be known as (“Responding Teams”), and may include subcontractors as needed, in order to assemble the expertise requested for this project. Prior experience in operating elder housing is a major factor in determining the qualifications of the proposing firm
