vehicles 24 hours a day/7 days a week, as well as adequate parking within 4 blocks for employee and

construction specifications provided. Sites that are located adjacent to adult entertainment shops

(i.e. book stores, video stores, or theatres), night clubs/bars, methadone clinics, drug

rehabilitation centers, marijuana/hemp dispensaries, medical marijuana dispensaries, gun shops,

liquor stores, etc. could potentially be eliminated from competition as these are considered

non-compatible businesses. Lessors are required to be registered and active in www.sam.gov prior

to the deadline for final offer submission.

Offers will need to include a completed 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

conditions, the construction specifications, the janitorial specifications, the rental proposal

worksheet, instructions for System for Award Management (SAM) registration, and a floor plan

template. Thoroughly review all documents and make sure that you agree to the terms presented. The

government lease and the general conditions are standard and are for the most part is not

negotiable and must be accepted as written and shown on the attached file.

Review the construction specifications completely as they stipulate additional lessor

responsibilities.

Three (3) 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 all 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

shade on exterior entry door and peep hole in secondary exit, perforated window wrap),

fragmentation film on exterior windows/glass doors, telecommunication wiring requirements, addition

of water fountain, signage, paint, wall graphics, phone jacks, electrical outlets and spec'd carpet

squares. These are items that can add a significant cost and may be overlooked in the bid process;

however, all items in the specifications need to be followed, even if code does

2

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 both office space and common

area space. Submitted floor plans must meet the space requirements as designated on attached

example.

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 defined deadline

4. Competitive costs in the best interest of the government
