PART II - OVERVIEW AND
PROJECT INFORMATION
FKACC, a not-for-profit
501(c) (3) corporation, seeks a Master Developer to
develop a parcel of public land owned by The City of
Key West (contiguous to a potential second parcel
owned by The Utility Board of the City of Key West)
comprising approximately 3.32 acres of land on and
adjacent to former Navy property at Truman Annex, as a
retirement community consisting of approximately a
minimum of 70 assisted living units, with a potential
for a Phase II of another 70 independent living and/or
assisted living units, for a total of 140 senior
living units with the necessary components associated
with maintaining healthy lifestyles for seniors.
This project represents a
significant opportunity for a Master Developer to
design, build and operate at a minimum 70 assisted
living units of housing in Key West, on land that the
voters of Key West have approved to be leased to
FKACC, together with the potential of additional
facilities accommodating accessory uses on contiguous
land owned by Keys Energy Services, with substantial
benefits for the Master Developer, FKACC, the greater
Key West area, and Monroe County. The
City of Key West has expressed its willingness to work
with both non-profit and for profit entities, but
prefers an established non-profit operator.
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 and independent 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 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 housing
site within the planned retirement community will be
located on two contiguous parcels of land
(the “Residential parcels”) totaling
approximately 3.32 acres of vacant land located on the
former U.S. Navy Truman Annex, as depicted on the
attached survey. Adjacent
to the Residential parcels is a parcel owned by The
Utility Board of the City of Key West, consisting of
approximately .45 acres of land occupied by historic
masonry buildings, formerly housing electric
generating equipment. The Utility Board has given
conceptual approval for use of the “Utility Board
parcel” for accessory uses serving residents of the
retirement community and other senior citizens of the
City of Key West; however, the terms of a lease of
that parcel remain to be negotiated. See attached
Retained Area drawing dated March 11, 2011 and Utility
Board Resolution No.766 dated September 23, 2009.
(Exhibit F)
Existing
buildings (Utility Board parcel)
The masonry buildings located
on the Utility Board parcel are historic structures
that formerly housed industrial equipment.
Redevelopment of this parcel would require
preservation, rehabilitation and reuse of these
buildings,
coordinated 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 any existing sewer and
Navy water lines running through the Project Site. 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 community will offer two levels of
assisted care: basic and extended congregate.
The need for assisted-living housing was
demonstrated by an independent market study.
To meet that need, FKACC proposes an
assisted living facility, allocated among
low-moderate income and market-rate rentals. FKACC will assist the
Master Developer by helping to coordinate the public
and private efforts necessary to plan, finance, and
build the project. 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
Residential Parcels will be leased to the
Master Developer under a triple-net lease, the terms
of which will be negotiated between the City and the
Master Developer. It is
anticipated that any lease shall be for a term of at
least 49 years with five 10-year renewal options
exercisable by lessee subject to an annual CPI rent
adjustment during each renewal term, and (b)
clarification of the affordability criteria (¶ 5.1) to
exclude from computation of maximum permissible rent
any charges for food and care provided to residents of
the facility. The Utility Board parcel, if and when
integrated into the Project, would be leased to the
Master Developer on terms to be negotiated, with the
assistance of FKACC, between
the Utility Board and the Master Developer.
FKACC anticipates that the length of the
Utility Board parcel lease would coincide with that of
the Residential Parcels. The
Master Developer must provide a detailed exit strategy
for implementation at the end of the lease terms, and
must provide a legally sufficient indemnification of
FKACC, holding FKACC, its directors and staff harmless
from and against any liability under the Lease.
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
