AGENCY UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS

Agency Tenant Improvement Allowance:

$59.40 per ABOA SF

The Government anticipates that the Tenant Improvement buildout for this requirement may exceed the allowance by approximately $185.00 per ABOA SF. The Government will use the TI Allowance as stated above in evaluating the TI rent component of offers; however, this does not preclude the Government from consideration of move-related replications costs in the evaluation, as outlined under RLP #26NAT01 Paragraph 4.04 “Present Value Price Evaluation (AAAP Variation).” The disclosure of this potential overage is not intended to be construed as an estimate of move-related replications costs. Also, it is not intended to serve as either an accurate estimate or an agreement by the Government as to the final pricing of the TI work, nor is it a commitment by the Government as to the level of TI work that eventually will be required. This disclosure is only intended to assist Offerors in understanding their potential obligation with respect to financing the full amount of Tenant improvements, as outlined under the Lease Paragraph 1.06 “Rental Adjustment, Tenant Improvement, Building Specific Amortized Capital (AAAP Variation).

Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC):

$12.00 per ABOA SF
