This RFP offers one area available for development at Hanscom and one area available for development at Worcester. The Authority is accepting proposals for development at either Hanscom or Worcester. However, in an effort to promote the Authority’s goal of concurrent development at Hanscom and Worcester, the Authority favors proposals that provide for development at both Hanscom and Worcester. A site tour for Hanscom will be held on March 21, 2018, at 10:00 am in the 3rd Floor Conference Room at the Civil Air Terminal, L.G. Hanscom Field, 200 Hanscom Dr., Bedford, MA. If you wish to tour Hanscom, you must contact Jill Cleary at [email protected] no later than March 14, 2018.

The envelope containing the original proposal and Proposal Deposit must be clearly marked “Contains Original Proposal and Proposal Deposit.” Upon award of the Lease Agreement to the successful proposer(s), the Authority will return the Proposal Deposits to the unsuccessful proposers. The Authority is soliciting competitive proposals pursuant to a determination that such process best serves the interests of the Authority, and not because of any legal requirement to do so. Proposals that are incomplete, conditioned or are otherwise not in conformance with the RFP may be rejected by the Authority in its sole discretion. Any and all proposals may be rejected if there is reason to believe that collusion exists between or among proposers. The Authority reserves the right to amend this RFP prior to the date for submission of proposals and to extend the deadline for receipt of proposals if it is deemed to be in the Authority’s best interest. The Authority reserves the right to cancel this RFP at any time prior to the execution of the Lease without any liability to the Authority. The Authority reserves the unqualified right to waive any informality, deviations, mistakes, and matters of form rather than substance. The Authority is not required to select the highest revenue proposal, but, rather, will select the proposal(s) that is deemed to be in the best interest of the Authority. The Authority will not award the Lease(s) to any proposer(s) who is not capable, in the Authority’s judgment, of developing the Site(s) in accordance with this RFP and performing the terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement(s). The Authority reserves the right to request a best and final offer from one or more proposers. Authorization to enter into a lease agreement (the “Lease” or “Lease Agreement”) and to proceed with development is subject to the approval of the Members of the Authority (the “Authority’s Board”).
