Notice of Intent for Naval Station Newport Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Divestment

The DON (or "Government") is issuing this solicitation to enter into a land conveyance agreement ("Solicitation") to convey Naval Station Newport's ("NS Newport") water and wastewater infrastructure, located in Newport, RI. The Navy is investigating the use of the Exchange Pilot Authority to execute a long-term divestment strategy for the water and wastewater infrastructure at Naval Station Newport. The DON vision is to divest of the Government owned class II property via a Bill of Sale, then enter into a mutually beneficial real estate agreement containing the easement area for the utilities traversing the DON property, whereby an interested eligible party maintains the infrastructure and provides water and wastewater services to the installation, Government entities and surrounding community via a Utility Service Contract. In-Kind Consideration (IKC) will be provided to the DON in the form of credit towards the water and wastewater bill.
