Army to Hold Major Housing Privatization Forum in March

The forum will be held on March 11-12 at the Hyatt Hotel, 320 West Jefferson Street, Louisville, KY 40202.

All together, these projects will involve the construction and management of almost 12,000 single-family homes in the Army's Southeast II Group (Forts Benning, GA; Rucker, AL; and Gordon, GA); and the Central Group (Forts Knox, KY; Leavenworth, KS; and Redstone Arsenal, AL).

Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) and Request for Qualifications (RFQs) announcements for the Southeast II RCI group will be released between late March and early April, followed by announcements for the Central Group in late June or early July.

The forum will begin with a networking social on the evening of March 11 and continue on March 12 with a half-day session of formal presentations by senior officials, who will provide an overview of the RCI program, an outline of the RFQ procurement process, an overview of the Army's Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization program and presentations for all Army installations in these solicitations.

To participate in the forum, register at www.rci.army.mil or www.mhli.org, or complete and fax a registration form to 703-327-4005. 

Although advance registration is encouraged, on-site registration will be available at the Hyatt Hotel on March 11 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and on March 12 from 7:00-7:55 am. The formal session will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and will end by 2:00 p.m. 

A confirmed site tour schedule for all participating installations in this solicitation group will be provided on the RCI Web site.
