Occupancy
The Government requires occupancy by December 31, 2026. The offered space must be existing, second-generation office space that is finished or capable of being completed in accordance with the space requirements and in time to support Government occupancy by that date.
Lease commencement will not occur until all required improvements and other lease requirements have been completed, inspected, and accepted by the Government.
Space Requirements and Program Elements
The Government is seeking 8,000 to 40,000 ABOA SF of contiguous space, preferably on one floor. Space on up to two adjacent floors will be considered, provided at least 10,000 ABOA SF is located on one floor and the balance is on the adjacent floor.
The following represents the minimum program:
- Minimum of ten (10) hearing rooms, at least 160 SF and no more than 600 SF each;
- Minimum of one (1) staff office, at least 110 SF;
- Open space to accommodate at minimum 5 workstations, approximately 65 SF each;
- One (1) storage room, 200–800 SF;
- One (1) server room, 100–250 SF, with 24/7 cooling;
- One (1) break room, 110–1,000 SF;
- One (1) enclosed lobby/waiting area within the Government's leased premises, at least 800 SF, with transaction window;
- Access Control: Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 locksets, Model DL120026D1 or equivalent configuration, are required on all doors separating the lobby/waiting area from staff space, all doors separating the leased premises from building common areas, and the server room;
- Data and Electrical Requirements: IT/Data and electrical requirements as shown in the attached sample layout.
The offered space must accommodate the minimum program in its existing configuration or through improvements that can be completed by December 31, 2026. A sample layout showing one possible configuration is attached; the data and electrical requirements identified in the attachment are required. If improvements are required, the Offeror shall identify the required work and provide a schedule demonstrating completion by the required occupancy date.
Offers exceeding 8,000 ABOA SF may include additional space that may be used for additional offices, workstations, or other program requirements as needed.
The offered space must provide sufficient usable area and configuration to accommodate the minimum program without excessive circulation, unusable areas, or physical constraints that would prevent the required program from being reasonably configured.
Delivery Condition
- Space must be suitable for professional use and maintained in good condition. Outdated or poorly maintained space will not be considered.
- The Government is seeking existing, second-generation office space that is finished in accordance with the stated requirements.
- Where improvements, including Shell, TIs, BSAC, or other work, are required, the improvements must be completed, inspected, and accepted by the Government prior to occupancy and must not involve structural modifications, new construction, gut rehabilitation, or other work presenting a material risk to timely completion and Government acceptance.
- If no offer fully meeting these requirements, either as currently configured or through improvements that can be completed by December 31, 2026, is available, the Government may, in its discretion, consider the closest acceptable alternative that supports the agency's mission needs and presents an acceptable level of schedule, performance, and delivery risk.
Tenant Improvement (TI) Allowance and Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC)
- If tenant improvements are necessary for the offered space to meet the Government's requirements, the Offeror must make available a TIA of $40.78 per ABOA SF amortized over the 3-year firm term.
- If BSAC improvements are necessary for the offered space to meet the Government's requirements, the Offeror must make available a BSAC amount of $12.00 per ABOA SF amortized over the 3-year firm term.
- The availability of TIA and BSAC funding does not indicate an intent to accept unfinished space, shell space, or space requiring substantial redevelopment.
Evaluation and Term
- Evaluation will be lowest-priced, technically acceptable, or LPTA.
- Offers will be submitted under RLP No. 26NAT02 on a 10-year / 5-firm lease term basis but will be evaluated based on a 5-year / 3-firm lease term basis.
- For this 5-year / 3-firm requirement, offerors shall enter $0.01 for shell rent in years 6–10.
