    The AFRH (Armed Forces Retirement Home) is exploring options for the renovation and management of its golf course through a Request for Quotes (RFQ). Several questions addressed the potential for third-party management and renovation funding structures, with AFRH indicating that while they are open to various approaches, they are unlikely to fund renovations through bonds or fundraising. The possibility of converting the course to a public facility was deemed contrary to the interests of AFRH residents. Limitations regarding public access, operational hours, and alcohol sales depend on the respondent's proposal. The RFQ notes a dated study by the National Golf Foundation, available on request, and mentions that the course's footprint is preferred to remain unchanged, though expansion to adjacent areas may be considered. Relocation of facilities to offer views of the National Mall would not be permitted due to historical significance. Finally, partnerships with service-disabled veteran-owned businesses are encouraged, with guidance on providing details of prospective partners for project management. This RFQ serves as a framework for prospective firms to engage with AFRH in a structured management and renovation process while considering the needs and wishes of its residents.
    The Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on November 19, 2024, inviting partners for the renovation and long-term management of its historic 9-hole golf course located in Washington, D.C.

The renovation plan seeks to upgrade the course to enhance safety and usability, improve resident and member experiences, and ensure accessibility for all golfing levels. The RFQ outlines evaluation criteria focusing on project team experience, financial capability, and concepts for renovation and operations. Key considerations include ensuring security for residents, compliance with historic preservation standards, and potential lease structures. As part of the selection process, AFRH will prioritize proposals that integrate the needs of its residents while potentially expanding community access. The project underscores the AFRH's commitment to enhancing amenities for its residents while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
    The note regarding the AFRH Golf Course site tour informs interested parties that the tour originally scheduled for December 11, 2024, has been rescheduled to December 18, 2024, from 9 AM to 11 AM due to adverse weather conditions.
