R — Housing Market Analyses W912QR-16-R-0044 091516 Magdalena Bernard, Contract Specialist, Phone 5023156215, Email magdalena.bernard@usace.army.mil DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) W912QR-16-R-0044 for the US Army Housing Market Analysis. The contractor shall conduct an HMA for each of the following three (3) locations: Camp Atterbury, Indiana, Camp Zama, Japan, and Presidio of Monterey, California. An HMA is a comprehensive and detailed investigation and projection of housing requirements at a specific military installation. The HMA focuses on the private-sector rental housing that may be available to military personnel in the local housing market area. The contractor shall conduct an analysis of present, and prospective, housing demand and supply relationships in the local housing market. This is done to assess the private sector’s ability to provide adequate support for the future housing needs of military personnel, five years hence. The analysis will consider both accompanied and unaccompanied personnel located at the installation. The contractor shall comprehensively evaluate the current and prospective dynamic forces affecting economic, demographic, and housing conditions. The contractor shall analyze housing trends to quantify the local demand for, and supply of, private sector housing. The contractor personnel will: visit the specific locality and installation; meet with installation leadership and housing staff; conduct in-person interviews with knowledgeable professionals at the installation and in nearby communities; collect primary and secondary data; assess the private sector housing quality neighborhood-by-neighborhood; and apply economic modeling in a method compatible with guidelines approved by the OSD and the OACSIM. Data will include housing inventory, population, demographics, rents, utility costs, renter’s insurance, and rental vacancies and turnovers. The contractor shall use current guidance approved by OSD and the OACSIM. Army policy has established minimum housing requirements, or ‘floor requirements,’ and the method to apply them in the analysis. Adequate housing is defined to be within a reasonable commute of the installation; affordable for military personnel; acceptable in quality; and with the proper number of bedrooms for given household sizes and military ranks. The contractor shall apply economic modeling to assess the ability of the private-sector community to meet military needs of soldiers and military families at a specific site. The modeling must consider the ability of military members and military families to afford private sector housing with their housing allowances that vary by paygrade of the military member. The contractor will project the total military family housing requirement and the total unaccompanied housing requirement. The contractor will compare this to the Army existing and projected inventory that will be provided by the Army.
