PART I: INVITATION
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “the
Authority” and sometimes the “Port Authority”) hereby invites your proposal for the historic
restoration/rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of Building #60 (the former Trans World Airlines
(TWA) Flight Center at Terminal 5) and associated site (collectively referred to as the
“Premises”) located at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
Proposals shall:
• Provide a detailed program for performing the restoration and rehabilitation of Building #60;
•
Provide in conjunction with the above, a proposed adaptive reuse development plan with
details of design and construction, financing, management, and operation and maintenance of
the Premises (as indicated in Attachment C1.1), under a 39-year lease agreement with the
Authority in compliance, with the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) (See Part II, Item E
below, and Attachment A, included herewith and made a part hereof). (It should be noted
that the attached copy of the MOA, Attachment A, has been redacted to exclude the signature
pages.) The Authority is seeking substantial capital investment by private developers in the
proposed Project. Proposed fee management arrangements are not acceptable, and shall not
be considered hereunder. The selected Respondent will be responsible for design,
construction, and all costs and risks associated with the Project.
The proposed restoration and adaptive reuse represents a unique and challenging development
opportunity at one of the leading international gateways into the United States.
The Authority’s goal for the Project is the preservation/restoration and rehabilitation of the
Building #60 landmark structure and the establishment of an adaptive reuse of the Premises. The
goal is to be achieved by satisfaction of the terms of the MOA and the capability of the selected
Respondent. The proposed reuse shall be suitable for JFK airport, shall be to the benefit of the
airport and public, and must demonstrate financial viability.
The Port Authority has retained the professional services of URS Corporation (as Program
Manager), and the firms of William Nicholas Bodouva + Associates, and Beyer Blinder Belle,
both for architectural services relative to this project. These firms are expressly ineligible to
participate on any development team.
After review and consideration of this solicitation document, firms intending to submit a
proposal are requested to notify Laurie Spencer, Contract Officer, by email at
[email protected].
