The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking expressions of interest from vendors to acquire land in Fargo, North Dakota, for the construction of a Fisher House. This project aims to provide comfortable lodging for military veterans and their families undergoing medical treatments at the nearby VA Medical Center.
The VA requires approximately 1.25 to 5 acres of developable land within a 5-mile radius of the Medical Center. The chosen site should meet specific criteria regarding zoning, size, ownership, and proximity to amenities and transportation. It should be suitably sized and shaped to accommodate a Fisher House with approximately 20 suites and a total area of around 9,000 square feet.
Potential vendors must submit responses with comprehensive due diligence documentation by the extended deadline of 17:00 on August 9, 2024. The VA will evaluate proposals based on factors like property suitability and proposed purchase price, with a view to awarding the contract shortly afterward.
This process does not commit the VA to purchasing any particular site, which will be determined by fair market value and specific requirements. Interested parties can direct inquiries to the Realty Specialist, Anthony Campbell, at anothony.campbell1@va.gov or by phone at 407-319-2897.
