Both Gloria and Meredith Berger, assistant secretary of the Navy for energy, installations & environment\/chief sustainability officer, addressed the OTC revitalization, which would impact the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) headquarters, at a recent San Diego Military Advisory Council (SDMAC) breakfast, Aug 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe city is absolutely committed to making sure we can find a successful way to re-envision NAVWAR’s facility needs here in San Diego,\u201d said Gloria. \u201cWe will do whatever it takes to make sure this process goes as smoothly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SDMAC breakfast takes place on the third Wednesday of every month and features prominent speakers, civilian and military, from the Department of Defense, the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a significant parcel of land totaling 70 acres that the Navy has offered up in kind to get NAVWAR new facilities and give San Diego a much-needed opportunity to create new sustainable and innovative development,\u201d said Berger. \u201cWe\u2019re going through a secure and strict confidential process to review these proposals, and I\u2019m confident we will see incredibly innovative ideas that are sustainable, resilient and impactful to support our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Navy OTC Revitalization Project centers around the redevelopment of NAVWAR headquarters, which is currently housed in 1941 World War II aircraft factories, on 70.5 acres of Navy-owned land at Naval Base Point Loma, in the Midway-Pacific Highway Community of San Diego, Calif. The 80-year-old buildings are not compatible with NAVWAR\u2019s technical, high-security mission today.<\/p>\n

In the latest milestone of the project, the Navy has received proposals from shortlisted potential master developers and has started the process of evaluating them. The request for proposals source selection evaluation process will identify the team whose proposal conforms to the solicitation, best meets NAVWAR\u2019s mission requirements, and represents the best value to the U.S. government. The Navy plans to select one proposer by the end of calendar year 2023 to enter into a period of exclusive negotiations.<\/p>\n

The Navy OTC facilities are well beyond their useful life and negatively affect NAVWAR\u2019s cyber warfare mission, security, and workforce safety. The Navy\u2019s proposed revitalization of OTC facilities would meet design standards for safety and security while enabling sustainment of NAVWAR\u2019s national defense mission.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m pleased to see progress on this important project,\u201d said NAVWAR Commander Rear Adm. Doug Small. \u201cAs we march forward towards the goal of new mission-capable facilities for NAVWAR, we look forward to continuing our close partnership with the city of San Diego and local community.”<\/p>\n

On April 10, 2023, the Navy shortlisted four potential master developers that advanced to Step 2: Request for Proposals based on submitted qualifications. The four shortlisted potential master developers had approximately four months to prepare their proposals to include technical and financial information to specify how they would achieve the Navy\u2019s requirements. Proposals include details such as site and design drawings for the new government facilities; demonstration of the concept for private development; specifics on how they would finance the project; and a proposed schedule for achieving key milestones of the government facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Navy appreciates the effort each of the master developers has devoted to their proposals over the last four months,\u201d said Rear Adm. Brad Rosen, Navy Region Southwest commander. \u201cWe look forward to moving through the next steps. The Navy and San Diego have had a productive and mutually beneficial relationship for well over a hundred years, and I believe the potential here is another win for us both.”<\/p>\n

The Navy will work with the selected master developer on multiple options for the private development of OTC, while continuing to evaluate the feasibility of a NAVWAR-only development funded by traditional military construction methods.<\/p>\n

“NAVWAR needs secure, safe, modern, state-of-the-art facilities to achieve its growing and expanding mission requirements to support the Navy,\u201d said Greg Geisen, NAVWAR\u2019s project manager for OTC Revitalization. \u201cWe also recognize that this project can simultaneously provide tremendous positive impacts to the community and local economy alike.”<\/p>\n

While the NAVWAR mission is driving the requirements and urgency of the revitalization project, a new facility will also attract and retain the skills and talent needed to outpace adversaries in today and tomorrow\u2019s fast moving, more complex and increasingly competitive cybersecurity environment.<\/p>\n
