How to bid on Albeni Falls Dam Warning Sign And Equipment Land Lease (DACW675270000200)
What the agency is buying and why a vendor would care
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is looking to lease approximately 1.48 acres of land. This land is needed downstream of the Albeni Falls Dam in Oldtown, Idaho. The purpose of this lease is to provide open space for an equipment platform and warning signs for boaters and others about potential dangers.
The lease term is for 10 years. This opportunity is for landowners who have suitable property in the specified area and are interested in a long-term lease with the government.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) for expressions of interest. The solicitation was published on July 29, 2026. All expressions of interest must be submitted by August 30, 2026.
After the deadline, the government estimates a market survey will be conducted around September 15, 2026. The estimated occupancy for the lease is 10 years.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for property owners with land in or near Oldtown, Idaho, specifically downstream of the Albeni Falls Dam. The land must be a large open area capable of housing an equipment platform and warning signs.
Key requirements for the land include not being located within a 100-year floodplain or wetland, unless it is determined to be the only practicable alternative. Subleases are not acceptable. The government requires a fully serviced lease, meaning all services, utilities, and tenant alterations should be part of the rental consideration.
How to respond
To respond, you need to submit an expression of interest with specific information. This includes the name of the owner, total existing gross square feet, a site plan, floor plan, identification of on-site parking, address or described location of the land, and a map showing the land's location within the delineated area.
You must also provide a narrative and map describing the land's proximity to public transportation and major routes, evidence of ownership (or authority to submit if you are a non-owner), any title issues or restrictions, and your expected rental rate per rentable square foot.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Ensure your submission clearly addresses all requested information. Pay close attention to the requirement that the space should not be in a 100-year floodplain or wetland, and if it is, be prepared to demonstrate why it is the only practicable alternative.
Provide clear and professional site plans and maps. A detailed narrative explaining how your land meets all the specific requirements, such as being able to house an equipment platform and signage, will strengthen your response. Double-check that all contact information and required documents are included before submission.
