LEASE DESCRIPTION (SLAT) (OCT 2023)

A.	Offeror shall examine the Lease template included in the RLP documents to understand the Government's and the Lessor's respective rights and responsibilities under the contemplated Lease.

B.	The Lease contemplated by this RLP includes:

1.	The term of the Lease, and renewal option, if any.

2.	Terms and Conditions of the Lease, including Definitions, Standards, and Formulas applicable to the Lease and this RLP.

3.	Building Shell standards and requirements.

4.	Information concerning the tenant agency's buildout requirements, to be supplemented after award.

5.	Security Requirements.

6.	A description of all services to be provided by the Lessor.

C.	Should the Offeror be awarded the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall be binding upon the Lessor without regard to any statements contained in this RLP.

D.	The Lease contemplated by this RLP is a fully serviced Lease. Rent shall be based upon a proposed rental rate per Rentable Square Foot (RSF), limited by the offered rate and the maximum ABOA SF solicited under this RLP. Although certain Tenant Improvement (TI) requirements information is provided with this RLP and will be incorporated into the Lease, the TIs to be delivered by the Lessor will be based on the final design to be developed after award of the Lease, which reflects the Agency’s full requirements. The Lessor shall design and build the TIs and will be compensated for TI costs, together with design and project management fees to be set under the Lease. Although the TI requirements will not be developed fully until after award, Offerors shall provide the allowance stated in the Tenant Improvement Allowance paragraph of the Lease.

Unless the Government prepares Design Intent Drawings (DIDs), after award the Lessor must prepare DIDs for the leased Space conforming to the lease requirements and other Government-supplied information related to the client agency’s interior build-out requirements. The Government will have the opportunity to review the Lessor's DIDs to determine that the Lessor's design meets the requirements of the Lease. Only after the Government approves the DIDs and a final price for TIs is negotiated will the Lessor be released to proceed with buildout. The Lease also provides that the Government may modify the TI requirements, subject to the Lessor's right to receive compensation for such changes.

D.	The Lease contemplated by this RLP is a fully serviced, turnkey Lease with rent that covers all Lessor costs, including all shell upgrades, TIs, operating costs, real estate taxes, and security upgrades. Rent shall be based upon a proposed rental rate per Rentable Square Foot (RSF), limited by the offered rate and the maximum ABOA SF solicited under this RLP. The Tenant Improvements to be delivered by the Lessor shall be based upon information provided with this RLP and Lease, including Agency Specific Requirements (ASR). The Lessor shall design and build the TIs and will be compensated for the TI costs based upon turnkey pricing established under the Lease. Offerors are encouraged to consider the use of existing fit-out and other improvements to minimize waste. However, any existing improvements must be deemed equivalent to Lease requirements for new installation, and Offerors are cautioned to consider those requirements before assuming efficiencies in its TI costs resulting from use of existing improvements.

After award, the Lessor must prepare Design Intent Drawings (DIDs) for the leased Space conforming to the Agency Specific Requirements. The Government will have the opportunity to review the Lessor's DIDs to determine that the Lessor's design meets the requirements of the Lease. Only after the Government approves the DIDs will the Lessor be released to proceed with buildout. The Lease also provides that the Government may modify the TI requirements, subject to the Lessor's right to receive compensation for such changes.

E.	The security pricing process is described in a separate paragraph.

F.	Upon completion and acceptance of the leased Space, the Space will be measured for establishing the actual annual rent, and the lease term shall commence. In instances involving an incumbent Lessor where the Government commences the lease term pending completion of TI and/or BSAC alterations, the Government shall withhold TI and/or BSAC rent pursuant to Section 1 of the Lease until such time as the TI and/or BSAC is completed and accepted by the Government. During the term of the Lease, rent will be adjusted for changes to the Lessor's operating costs and real estate taxes, pursuant to paragraphs set forth in the Lease.

G.	Offerors are advised that doing business with the Government carries special responsibilities with respect to sustainability, fire protection and life safety, and security, as well as other requirements not typically found in private commercial leases. These are set forth both in the lease template and in the GSA 3517A, Solicitation Provisions, and will be made part of the Lease.

BROKER COMMISSION AND COMMISSION CREDIT (OCT 2020)

For the purposes of this RLP, _________________________________ (the Broker) is the authorized contractor real estate broker representing GSA. The Government expects the Lessor to pay a commission to the Broker. By submitting an offer, the Offeror agrees that if the Offeror is paying a commission or fee in connection with this Lease to a listing agent, an offering agent, or broker, property manager, developer, or any other agent or representative, then the Offeror will pay a commission to the Broker to which the Broker would ordinarily be entitled consistent with local business practices, as evidenced through a brokerage agreement between the Offeror and the Broker. The commission will be negotiated between the Offeror and the Broker and will be based on a Lease term not to exceed the Firm Term of the Lease contemplated by this RLP. Commissions will not be negotiated or collected on option periods or for Lease terms beyond the Firm Term of the Lease. As part of the offer, the Offeror shall disclose all commissions and/or fees to be paid by the Offeror including both the Offeror’s agent(s), broker(s), property manager, developer, or any other agent or representative and the Broker. The Offeror shall enter the commission amounts for its representative and the amount to GSA’s Broker in blocks 31a and 31b respectively on GSA Form 1217, Lessors Annual Cost Statement. An executed commission agreement reflecting this agreement shall be submitted with the initial offer.

Offerors are advised that there is a potential for a dual agency situation to arise under this procurement, whereby the Broker’s Company may represent both GSA and another Offeror under this lease action. By submitting an offer, the Offeror acknowledges the potential for a dual agency situation. Should there be an actual dual agency, the Broker will notify all Offerors of the actual dual agency and request written acknowledgement statements from all Offerors.

For the benefit of the Government, the Broker has agreed to forego a percentage of any commission that it is entitled to receive in connection with the contemplated Lease. This amount shall be specifically set forth at time of lease award. The resulting total dollar value of the foregone commission (the Commission Credit) shall be applied in equal monthly amounts against rental payments due and owing under the Lease. The rental amount payable shall be reduced by the Commission Credit at the commencement of the Lease, over the minimum number of months that will not exceed the monthly shell rental, until the Commission Credit has been fully recaptured. The parties agree to execute a Lease Amendment setting forth the full nature, extent, terms, and conditions of commissions paid to the Broker and the Commission Credit to be applied against the Government’s rental payment obligations under the Lease. Commissions and/or credits shall be treated as confidential financial information and Offerors will refrain from public disclosure or using the information for any other purpose than that for which it was furnished without consent of the GSA LCO.

For purposes of price evaluation, the Commission Credit shall be treated as a deduction from the rent in accordance with the Method of Award. The amount of any commission paid to the Broker shall not be considered separately as part of this price evaluation since the value of the commission is included in the rental consideration.

pricing of SECURITY requirements (OCT 2022)

A.	The proposed Lease contains an attachment with the security requirements and obligations for the Building, which are based on the facility security level (FSL). The Federal Government determines the facility’s FSL rating, which ranges from FSL I to FSL IV. The FSL is based on client agency mix, required size of space, number of employees, use of the space, location, configuration of the site and lot, and public access into and around the facility.

B.	The security requirements attached to this Lease includes a list of security countermeasures that must be installed in the leased Space. The Offeror shall use the Security Unit Price List to provide the Government with itemized costs of these security countermeasures, and he or she shall amortize the cost of any Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC) into the rent.

B.	The security requirements attached to this Lease includes a general list of countermeasures that may be installed in the leased Space as part of the Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC). The final list of security countermeasures will be determined during the design phase and identified in the design intent drawings and construction documents. After completing the construction documents, the Lessor shall submit a list of the itemized costs. Such costs shall be subject to negotiation. The Lessor shall design and build the BSAC and will be compensated for BSAC costs, together with design and project management fees to be set under the Lease.

C.	There shall be no charge to the Government for any items that already exist in the offered Building or facility.

ELIGIBILITY AND PREFERENCES FOR AWARD

Efficiency of Layout (SLAT) (OCT 2020)

In order to be acceptable for award, the offered Space must provide for an efficient layout as determined by the LCO. To demonstrate potential for efficient layout, GSA may request the Offeror to provide a test fit layout at the Offeror’s expense.

FLOOD PLAINS (OCT 2022)

A Lease will not be awarded for any offered Property located within a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain (formerly referred to as 100-year floodplain) unless the Government has determined that there is no practicable alternative. An Offeror may offer less than its entire site in order to exclude a portion of the site that falls within a floodplain, so long as the portion offered meets all the requirements of this RLP and does not impact the Government’s full use and enjoyment of the Premises. If an Offeror intends that the offered Property that will become the Premises for purposes of this Lease will be something other than the entire site as recorded in tax or other property records the Offeror shall clearly demarcate the offered Property on its site plan/map submissions and shall propose an adjustment to property taxes on an appropriate pro rata basis. For such an offer, the Government may determine that the offered Property does not adequately avoid development in a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain.

In addition, a Lease will not be awarded for any offered Property adjacent to a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain, where such an adjacency would, as determined by the Government, restrict ingress or egress to the Premises in the event of a flood, unless there is no practicable alternative.

(d) When award will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable source selection process, the Government will give a price evaluation preference, based on the total annual ANSI/BOMA Occupant Area (ABOA) square feet (SF) present value cost to the Government, to historic properties as follows:

(1) First, to suitable historic properties within historic districts, a 10 percent price preference.

(2) If no suitable historic property within an historic district is offered, or the 10 percent preference does not result in such property being the lowest price technically acceptable offer, the Government will give a 2.5 percent price preference to suitable non-historic developed or undeveloped sites within historic districts.

(3) If no suitable non-historic developed or undeveloped site within an historic district is offered, or the 2.5 percent preference does not result in such property being the lowest price technically acceptable offer, the Government will give a 10 percent price preference to suitable historic properties outside of historic districts.

(4) Finally, if no suitable historic property outside of historic districts is offered, no historic price preference will be given to any property offered.

(e) When award will be based on the best value tradeoff source selection process, which permits tradeoffs among price and non-price factors, the Government will give a price evaluation preference, based on the total annual ABOA SF present value cost to the Government, to historic properties as follows:

(1) First, to suitable historic properties within historic districts, a 10 percent price preference.

(2) If no suitable historic property within a historic district is offered or remains in the competition, the Government will give a 2.5 percent price preference to suitable non-historic developed or undeveloped sites within historic districts.

(3) If no suitable non-historic developed or undeveloped site within an historic district is offered or remains in the competition, the Government will give a 10 percent price preference to suitable historic properties outside of historic districts.

(4) Finally, if no suitable historic property outside of historic districts is offered, no historic price preference will be given to any property offered.

(f) The Government will compute price evaluation preferences by reducing the price(s) of the offerors qualifying for a price evaluation preference by the applicable percentage provided in this provision. The price evaluation preference will be used for price evaluation purposes only. The Government will award a contract in the amount of the actual price(s) proposed by the successful offeror and accepted by the Government.

(g) To qualify for a price evaluation preference, offerors must provide satisfactory documentation in their offer that their property qualifies as one of the following:

(1) A historic property within a historic district.

(2) A non-historic developed or undeveloped site within a historic district.

(3) A historic property outside of a historic district.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND SECURITY ACT (OCT 2023)

A.	The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) establishes requirements for Government leases relating to energy efficiency standards and potential cost-effective energy efficiency and conservation improvements.

B.	Subject to the exceptions below, unless one of the statutory exceptions listed in sub-paragraph C below applies, GSA may award a lease for a Building only if the Building has earned the ENERGY STAR® label conferred by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) within the most recent year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions. The term “most recent year” means that the date of award of the ENERGY STAR® label by EPA must not be more than 1 year prior to the due date of final proposal revisions. For example, an ENERGY STAR® label awarded by EPA on October 1, 2023, is valid for all lease procurements where final proposal revisions are due on or before September 30, 2024. Notwithstanding the above, buildings that meet any of the following are considered as equivalent to having an Energy Star label in the most recent year, provided they achieve an ENERGY STAR® label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government:

1.	All new Buildings being specifically constructed for the Government, provided they achieve an ENERGY STAR® label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government, and received the “Designed to Earn the Energy Star®” certification prior to construction;

2.	All existing Buildings that have had an Energy Star® label but are unable to obtain a label in the most recent year (i.e., within 12 months prior to the due date for final proposal revisions) because of insufficient occupancy;

3.	Newly built Buildings that have used Energy® Star’s Target Finder tool and either achieved a “Designed to Earn the Energy Star®” certification or received an unofficial score (in strict adherence to Target Finder’s usage instructions, including the use of required energy modeling) of 75 or higher prior to the due date for final proposal revisions and who are unable to obtain a label in the most recent year because of insufficient occupancy; or

4.	An existing Building that is unable to obtain a label because of insufficient occupancy but that can produce an indication, through the use of energy modeling or past utility and occupancy data input into Energy Star’s® Portfolio Manager tool or Target Finder, that it can receive an unofficial score of 75 or higher using all other requirements of Target Finder or Portfolio Manager, except for actual data from the most recent year.

ENERGY STAR® tools and resources can be found at https://www.energystar.gov/BUILDINGS/TOOLS-AND-RESOURCES.

C.	Subject to subparagraph D below, EISA allows a Federal agency to lease Space in a Building that does not have an ENERGY STAR® Label if:

1.	No Space is offered in a Building with an ENERGY STAR® Label that meets RLP requirements, including locational needs;

2.	The agency will remain in a Building it currently occupies;

3.	The Lease will be in a Building of historical, architectural, or cultural significance listed or eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places; or

4.	The Lease is for 10,000 RSF or less.

D.	If one or more of the statutory exceptions applies, and the offered Space is not in a Building that has earned the ENERGY STAR® Label within one year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions, Offerors are required to include in their lease proposal an agreement to renovate the Building for all energy efficiency and conservation improvements that it has determined would be cost effective over the Firm Term of the Lease, if any, prior to acceptance of the Space (or not later than one year after the Lease Award Date of a succeeding or superseding lease). Such improvements may consist of, but are not limited to, the following:

1.	Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) upgrades, including boilers, chillers, and Building Automation System (BAS)‌/Monitoring‌/‌Control System (EMCS).

2.	Lighting Improvements.

3.	Building Envelope Modifications.

Note. Additional information can be found on https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/real-estate-services/leasing/sustainability-policies under “Sustainability Policies.”

E.	The term "cost effective" means an improvement that will result in substantial operational cost savings to the landlord by reducing electricity or fossil fuel consumption, water, or other utility costs. The term "operational cost savings" means a reduction in operational costs to the landlord through the application of Building improvements that achieve cost savings over the Firm Term of the Lease sufficient to pay the incremental additional costs of making the Building improvements.

F.	Instructions for obtaining an ENERGY STAR® Label are provided at http://www.energystar.gov/buildings/facility-owners-and-managers/existing-buildings/ (use “Portfolio Manager” to apply). ENERGY STAR® tools and resources can be found at https://www.energystar.gov/BUILDINGS/TOOLS-AND-RESOURCES. The ENERGY STAR® Building Upgrade Manual https://www.energystar.gov/buildings/tools-and-resources/) and Building Upgrade Value Calculator (http://www.energystar.gov/buildings/tools-and-resources/) are tools which can be useful in considering energy efficiency and conservation improvements to Buildings.

G.	If one or more of the statutory exceptions applies, and the offered Space is not in a Building that has earned the ENERGY STAR® Label within one year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions, the successful Offeror will be excused from performing any agreed-to energy efficiency and conservation renovations, and benchmarking with public disclosure (as provided in (I) below, if it obtains the ENERGY STAR® Label prior to the Government’s acceptance of the Space (or not later than one year after the Lease Award Date for succeeding and superseding leases).

H.	If no improvements are proposed, the Offeror must demonstrate to the Government using the ENERGY STAR® Online Tools why no energy efficiency and conservation improvements are cost effective. If such explanation is unreasonable, the offer may be rejected.

I.	As described in Section 3 of the Lease, successful Offerors meeting one of the statutory exceptions above must agree to benchmark and publicly disclose the Building’s current ENERGY STAR® score, using EPA’s Portfolio Manager online software application. See the Lease for additional details.

J.	All new Buildings being specifically constructed for the Government must achieve the ENERGY STAR® Label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government.

K.	As part of the cost effective upgrades specified under sub-paragraph D above, existing lighting systems must be upgraded to meet or exceed the stated lighting specifications in the Lease unless, with respect to upgrades otherwise in excess of the minimum stated requirements, Offeror can demonstrate, using the Building Upgrade Value Calculator discussed above, that such additional upgrades are not cost effective over the Firm Term of the Lease.

DUE DILIGENCE AND NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT REQUIREMENTS - RLP (OCT 2023)

A.	Environmental Due Diligence.

1.	At the direction of the LCO, the Offeror must provide, at the Offeror’s sole cost and expense, a current Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), using the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E1527-21 and timeline, as such standard may be revised from time to time. In accordance with ASTM standards, the study must be performed by an environmental professional with qualifications that meet ASTM standards. This Phase I ESA must be prepared with a focus on the Government being the “user” of the Phase I, as the term “user” is defined in E1527-21. Failure to submit the required study may result in dismissal from consideration.

2.	If the Phase I ESA identifies any recognized environmental conditions (RECs), the Offeror will be responsible for addressing such RECs, at its sole cost and expense, including performing any necessary Phase II ESA (using ASTM Standard E1903-11), performing any necessary cleanup actions in accordance with federal and state standards and requirements and submitting a proposed schedule for complying with these obligations. The Government will evaluate whether the nature of any of the RECs, the results of the Phase II, any completed cleanup, and the proposed schedule meet the Government’s needs.

B.	National Environmental Policy Act.

1.	While the Offeror is responsible for performing all environmental due diligence studies of the offered Property, the Government is responsible for compliance with NEPA, whether in whole or in part, on its own or with the assistance of the Offerors. NEPA requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their actions on the quality of the human environment as part of the federal decision-making process and, to that end, the Government’s obligations may, and in some cases will, be augmented by the Offerors as described in greater detail in the RLP.

2.	The Government may either request information from the Offerors to help it meet its obligations under NEPA or share information provided in response to this provision with federal, state and local regulatory agencies as part of its compliance responsibilities under NEPA and other applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Further consultation with these regulatory agencies may be necessary as part of the NEPA process.

3.	The Offerors are advised that the Government may be required to release the location of each offered site and other building specific information in public hearings or in public NEPA documents. By submitting an offer in response to this RLP and without the need for any further documentation, the Offeror acknowledges and consents to such release.

4.	The Government reserves the right to reject any offer where (i) the NEPA-related documentation provided by the Offeror for the offered Property is inadequate, (ii) the offer entails unacceptably adverse impacts on the human environment, (iii) the identified adverse impacts cannot be readily mitigated, or (iv) the level of NEPA analysis is more extensive than is acceptable to the Government.

5.	An Offeror must allow the Government access to the offered Property to conduct studies in furtherance of NEPA compliance. This requires research and field surveys to assess the potential impacts to the natural, social and cultural environments. Any recent studies previously conducted by the Offeror may be submitted to be included in the NEPA process.

6.	The Government will not proceed with Lease award until the NEPA process is complete as evidenced by the Government’s issuance of a completed CATEX, EA or Environmental Impact Statement. Upon Lease award, any mitigation measures, whether optional or mandatory, identified and adopted by the Government will become Lease obligations. All costs and expenses for development of design alternatives, mitigation measures and review submittals for work to be performed under the Lease will be the sole responsibility of Lessor.

NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT REQUIREMENTS - RLP (SMALL) (OCT 2023)

A.	The Government is responsible for complying with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, 54 U.S.C. § 306108 (Section 106). An Offeror must allow the Government access to the offered Property to conduct studies in furtherance of the Section 106 compliance.

B.	If the Government determines that the leasing action could affect historic property, the Offeror of any Property that the Government determines could affect historic property will be required to retain, at its sole cost and expense, the services of a preservation architect who meets or exceeds the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Historic Architecture, as amended and annotated and previously published in the Code of Federal Regulations, 36 C.F.R. part 61, and the GSA’s Qualification Requirements for Preservation Architects. These standards are available at: https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/historic-preservation/.

HOW TO OFFER

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS (SLAT) (OCT 2020)

Offeror shall prepare a complete offer, using the forms provided with this RLP, and submit the completed lease proposal package to the Government as indicated below. The Government will evaluate the offers received as outlined below and further described in this section.

Step 1: Offer Submittal

Offeror shall submit an offer using the instructions in paragraph 3.02 Receipt of Lease Proposals (SLAT) and 3.03 Step 1: Offer Submittal (SLAT). The LCO will evaluate the offers that are received by the due date identified for submission of offers in this RLP. The LCO may elect to proceed based on initial offers or to conduct negotiations in accordance with paragraph 4.01 Negotiations (SLAT). The Offeror whose offer is identified as the apparent lowest priced offer and is otherwise responsive to the terms identified in the solicitation will proceed to step 2. Proceeding to step 2 does not constitute award of a contract.

Step 2: Due Diligence

The Offeror with the apparent lowest priced offer shall be notified by the LCO and requested to submit the information requested in paragraph 3.04 Step 2: Due Diligence - Additional Submittals (SLAT), in addition to signing the Lease form which will be completed with the details of the Offeror’s price submittal. No further discussions will occur between the Government and the apparent lowest priced offeror regarding the Additional Submittals.

Should the Offeror submitting the apparent lowest priced offer fail to complete any of the requirements of the solicitation or, upon further review be found to not meet the requirements of the solicitation during any part of the evaluation process, the LCO will consider other offers received in response to the solicitation.

Building Tour

As part of the Government’s due diligence review of the offer, the LCO may notify the Offeror of the date and time for the Government to physically tour the building.

Award

Upon completion of the Government’s review of the apparent lowest priced offer’s Due Diligence – Additional Submittals and a determination that the offer meets the requirements of the solicitation, the LCO will counter-sign the Lease document and furnish notification of execution to the Offeror. This execution and notification by the LCO shall constitute award of a contract.

RECEIPT OF Lease Proposals (SLAT) (OCT 2024)

Online method - Submission through the Requirement Specific Acquisition Platform (RSAP):

A.	Unless otherwise authorized by the LCO or his/her designated representative, offers may only be submitted electronically to GSA using the Requirement Specific Acquisition Platform (RSAP) located at https://leasing.gsa.gov. RSAP enables Offerors to electronically offer space for lease to the Federal Government. The offer submission process is web-enabled, allowing all registered participants to submit and update offers to lease space to the Government in response to a single RLP for a specific space requirement.

B.	In order to be considered for award, offers conforming to the requirements of the RLP shall be submitted through LOP/RSAP no later than [date], [time] [time zone].

C.	Offerors must submit all documentation identified in this RLP using RSAP. RSAP generates the Lessor's Annual Cost Statement (GSA Form 1217) and Proposal to Lease Space (GSA Form 1364) based on the Offeror’s inputs to the online workflow. These auto-populated forms are available for review on the attachments page of the RSAP workflow and are automatically included as part of the offer upon submission; there is no need for the Offeror to manually complete the attached blank version of these two forms. Offerors can revise the auto-generated GSA Form 1217 and/or GSA Form 1364 by changing the inputs to the online workflow. Any subsequent revisions to offer documents must be submitted through RSAP. There is no paper-based submission process under this RLP and paper submissions will not be considered, unless otherwise authorized by the LCO.

METHOD OF AWARD

NEGOTIATIONS (SLAT) (OCT 2023)

A.	The Government will evaluate offers and may award a Lease without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best price and other terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions after the receipt of initial offers during Step 1: Offer Submittal if it is determined by the LCO to be necessary. Discussions with offerors, if they occur, will only take place during Step 1: Offer Submittal. The Government may reject any or all offers, if such action is in the public interest, and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. Once an apparent lowest priced offeror is identified during Step 1: Offer Submittal, the LCO will move on to Step 2: Due Diligence – Additional Submittals for only the apparent lowest priced offeror. Should the apparent lowest priced offeror fail to provide any of the Additional Submittals, or if any of the Additional Submittals do not meet the Government’s requirements, the LCO will move on to the next identified lowest priced offeror. The LCO will not conduct further discussions with any identified apparent lowest priced offeror during Step 2: Due Diligence – Additional Submittals, concerning the Additional Submittals and will only be reviewing the Additional Submittals to verify that the Additional Submittals meet the Government’s requirements.

B.	Offerors who are not included in the competitive range will be notified in writing.

A HUBZone small business concern (SBC) Offeror may elect to waive the price evaluation preference provided in the “Award Based On Price” paragraph. In such a case, no price evaluation preference shall apply to the evaluation of the HUBZone SBC.

AWARD BASED ON PRICE (oct 2023)

The Lease will be awarded to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the requirements of this RLP and the Lease documents and is the lowest priced technically acceptable offer submitted. Refer to the "Present Value Price Evaluation" paragraph of this RLP.

See FAR Clause 52.219-4 Notice of Price Evaluation Preference for HUBZone Small Business Concerns, as listed under the attached GSA General Clauses 3517A.

If an offer contains terms taking exception to or modifying any Lease provision, the Government will not be under any obligation to award a Lease in response to that offer.

PRESENT VALUE PRICE EVALUATION (OCT 2024)

A.	If annual CPI adjustments in operating expenses are included, the Offeror shall be required to submit the offer with the total "gross" annual price per RSF and per ABOA SF and a breakout of the "base" price per RSF and ABOA SF for services and utilities (operating expenses) to be provided by the Lessor. The "gross" price shall include the "base" price. The base price per ABOA SF from which adjustments are made will be the base price for the term of the Lease, including any option periods.

B.	The Offeror must submit plans and any other information to demonstrate that the Rentable Space yields ABOA space within the required ABOA range. The Government will verify the amount of ABOA SF and will convert the rentable prices offered to ABOA prices, which will subsequently be used in the price evaluation.

C.	Evaluation of offered prices will be based on the annual price per ABOA SF, including all required option periods. The Government will perform present value price evaluation by reducing the prices per ABOA SF to a composite annual ABOA SF price, as follows:

1.	Parking and wareyard areas will be excluded from the total square footage but not from the price. For different types of space, the gross annual per ABOA SF price will be determined by dividing the total annual rental by the total ABOA square footage excluding these areas.

2.	Free rent will be evaluated in the year in which it is offered. The gross annual price is adjusted to reflect free rent.

3.	Prior to the discounting procedure below, the total dollar amount of the Commission Credit (if applicable) will be subtracted from the first year’s gross annual rent, unless the provision of free rent causes the credit to apply against rent beyond the first year’s term, in which case the Commission Credit will be allocated proportionately against the appropriate year’s gross rent.

4.	Also as stated in the "Broker Commission and Commission Credit" paragraph, the amount of any commission paid to GSA's Broker will not be considered separately as part of this price evaluation since the value of the commission is subsumed in the gross rent rate.

5.	If annual adjustments in operating expenses will not be made, the gross annual price, minus the Commission Credit (if applicable), will be discounted annually at 5 percent to yield a gross present value cost (PVC).

6.	If annual adjustments in operating expenses will be made, the annual price, minus the Commission Credit (if applicable) and minus the base cost of operating expenses, will be discounted annually at 5 percent to yield net PVC. The operating expenses will be both escalated at 2.5 percent compounded annually and discounted annually at 5 percent, then added to the net PVC to yield the gross PVC.

7.	To the gross PVC will be added:

a.	For lease acquisitions where the Government is considering less than fully serviced offers, the cost of Government-provided services (e.g., utilities, janitorial) not included in the rental escalated at 2.5 percent compounded annually and discounted annually at 5 percent.

b.	The annualized (over the full term) cost of any items, which are to be reimbursed in a lump sum payment. (The cost of these items is present value; therefore, it will not be discounted.)

c.	The annual price for parking to accommodate the minimum number of spaces required for government vehicles, if not included in the shell rent and charged separately. The price will be discounted annually at 5 percent.

d.	The cost of relocation of furniture, telecommunications, replications costs, and other move-related costs, if applicable.

e.	The fees for architectural and engineering design (A/E) services and the Offeror’s project management fees associated with Tenant Improvements (TI) and BSAC, if applicable. The Offeror is required as part of their offer to identify on GSA Form 1364 any and all fees to complete the TI and BSAC, broken down into two components: (1) Fees for architectural and engineering design services (A/E fees), which may be offered as a rate per ABOA SF, percentage rate, or flat fee, and (2) Lessor’s overhead, administrative costs, profit, and fees (Lessor’s PM fees), which may be only offered as a percentage rate. These fees will be evaluated in a multi-step process, as follows and using the example with a $150,000 TI Allowance and a $50,000 BSAC amount to illustrate scenarios.

A/E Fees Calculation - Percentage Rate Offered. For evaluation purposes, the fee is a percentage of the TI Allowance and BSAC amount. For example, a 5% A/E fee results in an A/E fee amount of $10,000

(TI Allowance + BSAC amount) x A/E Fee percentage = A/E fee amount

($150,000 + $50,000) x 0.05 = $10,000

Lessor’s PM Fees Calculation. For evaluation purposes, the PM fee is a percentage of the TI Allowance and BSAC amount. For example, a 5% PM fee results in a PM fee amount of $10,000.

(TI Allowance + BSAC amount) x Lessor’s PM fee percentage = PM fee amount

($150,000 + $50,000) x 0.05 = $10,000

III.	Total Fee Percentage Calculated and Applied to Buildout Amortization. For evaluation purposes, the A/E fees and Lessor’s PM fees are not evaluated as lump sum amounts. The sum of the A/E and PM fees is computed as a percentage of the total combined TI Allowance and BSAC amount and added to the annual amortized rate for the separate TI and BSAC rents. Using the above examples, the annual amortized rate added to the TI Allowance and BSAC amount rents is calculated to be 10%.

A/E fees + Lessor’s PM fees = Total fees

$10,000 + $10,000 = $20,000

Total fees / (TI Allowance + BSAC amount)

$20,000 / ($150,000 + $50,000) = 10%

f.	The annual cost of overtime HVAC based on the offered hourly overtime rate and an estimated usage of __0__ hours of overtime HVAC per year for the Space. This cost will be discounted annually at 5 percent.

8.	The sum of either sub-paragraphs 5 and 7 or sub-paragraphs 6 and 7, divided by the ABOA SF will be the present value cost per ABOA SF of the offer for price evaluation purposes.

AWARD (SLAT) (OCT 2023)
