REQUEST FOR LEASE PROPOSAL FOR

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE

OFFICE SPACE IN YORK COUNTY

No lease agreement with the State is final without the approval of designated authorities as governed by

South Carolina law. Real Property Services reserves the right to negotiate lease terms with submitting

parties until such final approval is granted. State law prohibits any party participating in this solicitation

process from making direct contact with the agency seeking space until a final lease has been approved.

All correspondence should be directed to Real Property Services. Prior to lease negotiation, Landlord may

be required to provide a list of all partners or members where Landlord is an LLC or partnership (to include

all tiers so that individuals are named).

Properties selected for site visits will be chosen based on a cost analysis of the submitted proposals, the

responsiveness of the proposals to the stated requirements, and the space efficiency of proposed floor

plans submitted; therefore, best proposals should be submitted initially.
