X -- U.S. Government Seeking Expressions of Interest for Land in Lubbock, Texas

General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking expressions of interest from fee title owners, or their duly authorized representatives, wanting to participate in an assignable option to purchase a site, or an assemblage of properties, for a lease construction project. The expression of interest is for the SITE ONLY. The site shall contain approximately 2 acres and have adequate, direct frontage on Highway 27, Highway 87 or other major highway or primary streets in Lubbock, Texas. Sites closer to the airport are preferred. Site shall be zoned appropriately and have the requisite infrastructure to support approximately 10, 770 rentable square feet in a commercial office building, 250 square foot kennel, and 38 secured parking spaces. The site shall not be in a floodplain. The site shall have a 50 foot setback from any point of public access to the to-be-constructed building and secured parking areas for security purposes. In support of GSA's Brownfield initiative, we will consider abandoned, idled, or underused commercial sites where redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. The Seller shall provide any existing environmental information available for the site. In addition, the seller shall advise if there are any historic structures on or in the immediate area of the site and if there are any known archaeological resources on or near the site. In compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and Executive Order 13006, when operationally appropriate and economically prudent, the Government will consider historic buildings and sites within historic districts. Demolition of historic buildings in anticipation of Government use may disqualify an offeror from consideration. Additional information is available at http://www.gsa.gov/historicpreservation or by contacting GSA at the address listed below. Fee title owners, or their duly authorized representatives, are invited to submit expressions of interest specifying the address and legal description of the property as well as a site plan to Laura Strohbach, Contracting Officer, General Services Administration, 819 Taylor Street, Room 10A29, Fort Worth, TX 76102, 817/978-3350 by May 16, 2003. Contact information should include offeror's name, street address, telephone, fax and cell numbers and email addresses. This information must be received by GSA no later than May 20, 2003. This advertisement is NOT a basis for negotiation and the right is hereby reserved as the interest of the Government may require to reject any or all offers and give consideration to sites other than those offered in response to this advertisement.
