Exchange Agreement with the DON. The 

infrastructure proposed is owned by the 

Government, who is responsible for the 

operation and maintenance. The Navy 

infrastructure ties into larger City of 

Newport (‘‘City’’)-operated systems, and 

the City provides water and wastewater 

services to both Government and private 

customers. The underlying property is 

primarily owned by the DON, but 

exceptions exist where the DON is 

required to provide services on nonGovernment owned land or where DON 

infrastructure runs on or through nonGovernment owned land to connect 

with the City provider of potable water 

and wastewater treatment or provide 

services to private customers. The DON 

will continue operating under its 

agreements with the City for purchase of 

the commodities, particularly related to 

its rate determinations and allowable 

allocations. 

The DON expects the selected offeror 

to acquire the utility infrastructure and 

approximately 464.44 acres of property 

surrounding the system. 

The potable water distribution 

infrastructure consists of two separate 

licensed potable infrastructure that are 

regulated by the Rhode Island 

Department of Health (RIDOH). These 

two infrastructures are for the Main 

Base and Fort Adams. The infrastructure 

consists of approximately 55 miles of 

distribution piping, four fire pump 

stations and four underground 

reservoirs. Potable water is purchased 

from the City of Newport through 

metered connections. 

The water infrastructure consists of 

the following components: 

• Four (4) fire pumping stations; 

• Four (4) underground reservoirs; 

• 520 fire hydrants; 

• 3,000 valves; and 

• 55 miles of potable water line. 

The Naval Station Newport 

wastewater collection and pumping 

system includes systems across the 

installation serving Coasters Harbor 

Island, Coddington Cove, Coddington 

Point, the Naval Undersea Warfare 

Center (NUWC), Navy Housing, and 

other activities. There are a total of 15 

service areas that make up the sanitary 

sewer collection system. Additionally, 

sewage flows from private customers 

that purchase water directly from the 

municipality and are directed to the 

NAVSTA sanitary sewer system. The 

sewer collection system consists of 

approximately 33 miles of gravity lines, 

six miles of force mains, and 15 pump 

stations. Wastewater is discharged 

through three main connections to the 

City of Newport. These are pump 

stations 48 (Coddington Cove), 68 

(Training Station), and 338 (Coddington 

Point). The average sewage flow for 

Naval Station Newport is approximately 

1 million gallons per day. Naval Station 

Newport purchases all of its wastewater 

treatment services from the City of 

Newport. 

The City of Newport recently 

completed a $35M+ capital 

improvement project at the wastewater 

treatment plant facility and the Navy 

provided funding in the amount of 

$5.863M in FY20 for the Navy 

proportional share of these 

improvements. 

The wastewater collection 

infrastructure can be broken down as 

follows: 

• 33 miles of gravity service mains; 

• six miles of force mains; 

• 790 manholes; and 

• 16 pump stations. 

Minimum Fair Market Value: An 

appraisal will be completed by the 

Selected Offeror during Phase II of the 

RFP in accordance with the Uniform 

Standards of Professional Appraisal 

Practice (USPAP) and reviewed by a 

government appraiser. The appraisal 

will be completed after the survey of the 

infrastructure has been accepted and 

will establish the minimum fair market 

value. 

Authority: Under the use of 10 U.S.C 

2869, Exchange of Property at Military 

Installations, as further amended by 

section 2862 for the William M. ‘‘Mac’’ 

Thornberry National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal 

Year 2021, as implemented by the Office 

of the Assistant Secretary of Defense 

(Sustainment) Memo, ‘‘Establishment of 

Pilot Program to Expand Real Property 

Exchange Authority’’, dated 30 June 

2021, the DON is investigating the 

divestment of the water and wastewater 

infrastructure at Naval Station Newport. 

In exchange, DON is seeking IKC, as 

authorized under the authority, to 

include the five-year pilot program, to 

exercise temporary expanded real 

property exchange authority to accept 

installation support services (as defined 

in 10 U.S.C. 2679(f)).

requirements, irrespective of whether 

the Commission issues an EA or an EIS.

scoping document 1 (SD1), issued 

November 21, 2024.
