Offers will need to include a completed RPW (Rental Proposal Worksheet), proof of registration in www.sam.gov (i.e. active CAGE code), a proposed floor plan and the construction bids for build-out meeting the construction specifications.  Attached is a copy of the lease document. The general clauses, the construction specifications, the janitorial specifications, the RPW, instructions for SAM (System for Award Management) registration, and a floor plan template. Please thoroughly review all documents and make sure that you agree to the terms presented.  The government lease and the general clauses are standard are for the most part, not negotiable, and must be accepted as written and shown on the attached file.  Review the constructions specifications completely as they stipulate additional lessor responsibilities.

Three construction bids for the build-out are requested.  After a bid is accepted, no change orders are authorized, so bids need to be accurate and complete (including taxes and fees).  Special attention should be given to security requirements (video entry control system, closed circuit television system and video recording, dual roller shades on exterior windows, fixed panel shades on exterior entry door and peep hole in secondary exit, perforated window wrap), fragmentation film on exterior window/glass doors, telecommunication wiring requirements, addition of water fountain, signage, paint, wall graphics, phone jacks, electrical outlets and special carpet tiles.  These are items that can add significant cost and may be overlooked in the bid process; however, all items in the specifications need to be followed, even if the code does not require the item (i.e. smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, etc.).  Bids shall include any tear down/haul away expenses.

The attached floor plan is to be used as a generalized idea and reference tool for close proximity of amount of useable space, this location will require for build out in ALL space.  Submitted floor plans must meet the space requirements as designated on attached examples.

It is mandatory that janitorial services be included in the lease (lessor responsible for contracting these services).  Be sure to review the attached janitorial guidance and ensure the costs of these services are included on the rental proposal worksheet.

Leases are negotiated for a 5 year term, but they include a clause stating the Government can terminate giving reasonable days’ notice.  In order to incorporate firm term years, meaning the Government cannot get out of the lease for a specified period of time, we ask the lessor to provide a significant contribution towards the build out costs.  Five year firm term leases are generally not considered.

 Following are the factors that will be considered when evaluating bids/offers:

1. Location
2. Ability to meet all construction specifications, security measures and lease requirements
3. Complete initial and final offers must be received by a defined deadline
4. Competitive costs in the best interest of the government
5. Qualitative ratings by client submission

Sites should not be located adjacent to adult entertainment shops (i.e. bookstores, video stores, or theatres), night clubs/bars, methadone clinics, drug rehabilitation centers, marijuana/hemp dispensaries, medical marijuana dispensaries, gun shops, liquor stores, etc., and could potentially be eliminated from competition as these are considered non-compatible businesses
