However, the specifications include perimeter walls, potable water systems and a number of other features that will greatly increase the cost for construction on multiple parcels of land, and thus lease costs, if it requires several parcels of land for the 40 residential units. Our specifications do not include a tennis court or swimming pool nor do we expect these to be provided. The Housing Office is very sensitive, however, to the lack of safe playgrounds and yards for our children to play in. Parking is another amenity that can require considerable land. Because of Ankara's harsh winters we prefer garages or underground parking.
Underground parking takes no additional space but garages do.
The United States Government does not do business this way. All contracts must be put out for bid. If your firm was not the low cost bidder it would not win the expansion contract. We need a total of 170 residential leased units. This is a pre-qualification phase only.
