GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THE PROPOSER

Thank you for responding to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Solicitation for Proposal to lease

space to the Commonwealth. Please be advised that this is a proposal solicitation process. The

Commonwealth reserves the right to reject any or all offers, waive any defect or negotiate for better

terms. Since this SFP includes several appendices, it is also advised that this document be read in its

entirety so that the proposer is aware of all Commonwealth requirements and the necessary

information that is to be submitted with your proposal. To be considered, all proposals must be

submitted in accordance with these instructions.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SFPs ARE NOT PUBLIC BID OPENINGS.

DGS Bureau of Real Estate (BRE), and only BRE, is authorized to negotiate the terms and conditions of a

proposed lease agreement. No understanding shall be binding upon the Commonwealth until all of the

following occur: (1) the parties’ understanding has been reduced to a formal written lease agreement;

(2) the lease agreement has received all necessary Commonwealth approvals, including, but not limited

to, the approval of the Board of Commissioners of Public Grounds and Buildings; (3) the lease agreement

has been signed by the Secretary of the Department of General Services, and (4) the fully executed

lease agreement has been delivered by DGS to the selected proposer.

The Commonwealth strongly encourages the Lessor to meet with representatives from UniqueSource

(the Pennsylvania marketing organization for agencies employing persons with disabilities) to explore

subcontracting opportunities for supplies and services needed by the Lessor to perform the Lease. A list

of all supplies and services that are currently provided by UniqueSource can be found at the following

link: UniqueSource Carve-Out List.

NOTICE TO PROPOSERS OF PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS

To the extent that a proposer offers to construct a new facility, to substantially rehabilitate an existing

facility, or to substantially alter an existing facility in accordance with Commonwealth agency

specifications/drawings, and the construction/substantial rehabilitation/substantial alterations will have

a total estimated cost that exceeds $25,000, the proposer must comply with the Pennsylvania Prevailing

Wage Act, 43 P.S. § 165-1 et seq. as further detailed in Paragraph 32 of the Standard Terms and

Conditions.

If, after receipt of proposals, the DGS determines that the lessor and lessor’s contractor(s) should pay

the prevailing minimum wage rates when the lessor’s proposal did not include consideration of this

requirement, DGS may give the proposer the opportunity to revise its offered rental amounts to include

allowance for payment of prevailing wages.

NOTICE TO PROPOSERS OF ENHANCED MINIMUM WAGE PROVISIONS

Proposers must comply with the requirements of Executive Order 2016-02, issued March 7, 2016, which

relates to the Enhanced Minimum Wage Provisions and is attached as Exhibit 5 of the Standard Terms &

Conditions.

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

To be considered, interested parties must comply with all of the requirements of this SFP. An interested

party will make no other distribution of the proposal. An official who is authorized to bind the

interested party to its provisions must sign the proposal. For this SFP, the conditions of the proposal

must remain valid for at least ninety (90) days from the end date of this SFP or until a lease is fully

executed. Moreover, the contents of the selected proposal will become contractual obligations if a

contract is entered into with the Commonwealth.

A complete proposal package is necessary for evaluation of your proposal. Failure to include any of the

required information or forms will delay evaluation of your proposal and may, at the Commonwealth’s

sole discretion, result in the rejection of your proposal.

Proposers may submit alternate proposals. In order to be considered as a complying submission, a

proposal must initially adhere strictly to the solicitation specifications in all material regards. However,

in addition to this component, a proposer may, at the proposer’s discretion, submit one or more

alternate proposals that vary from the specifications. In particular, the proposer may, by way of

example, propose alternate finishes or spatial layouts that allow the proposer to submit a more

competitive price proposal. The proposal must clearly label the primary proposal, and all alternates, and

delineate a clear breakdown of the price differentials. DGS will consider and evaluate the primary and

all alternate proposals at its sole discretion.

SELECTED PROPOSAL

The selected proposer will be expected to enter into a lease agreement with the Commonwealth’s Lease

Standard Terms & Conditions (STCs), which are attached as APPENDIX C of this SFP. Proposers are

responsible for ensuring their understanding of the STCs.

SELECTION OR REJECTION OF PROPOSAL

The Commonwealth reserves the right to reject any and/or all proposals received as a result of this

request, or to negotiate separately with competing proposers. If, in the opinion of the Commonwealth,

contract negotiations with the selected proposer cannot be concluded within 30 days following the

selected proposer’s receipt of a draft lease agreement, the Commonwealth may, at its sole discretion,

immediately discontinue negotiations with the selected proposer and commence negotiations with any

other interested proposer. Proposers will be notified, in writing, of their non-selection.

INCURRING COSTS

The Commonwealth is not liable for any costs incurred by interested parties related to the preparation

of their proposals for this SFP.

AMENDMENT TO THE SFP

If it becomes necessary to revise any part of this SFP, an amendment will be issued on eMarketplace

(www.emarketplace.state.pa.us). It will be the interested party’s responsibility to check the website

for amendments to the SFP prior to the submission of its proposal.

DISCLOSURE OF PROPOSAL CONTENTS

• Confidential Information. The Commonwealth is not requesting, and does not require,

confidential proprietary information or trade secrets to be included as part of proposers’

submissions in order to evaluate proposals submitted in response to this SFP. Except as provided

herein, proposers should not label proposal submissions as confidential proprietary, or trade

secret protected. Any proposer who determines that it must divulge such information as part of

its proposal must submit a signed written statement as described below and must additionally

provide a redacted version of its proposal, which removes only the information the proposer

considers to be confidential proprietary or trade secret, for required public disclosure purposes.

• Commonwealth Use. All material submitted with the proposal shall be considered the property

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and may be returned to the proposer only at the issuing

office’s option. The Commonwealth has the right to use any or all ideas not protected by

intellectual property rights that are presented in any proposal regardless of whether the

proposal becomes part of a lease. Notwithstanding any proposer copyright designations

contained on proposals, the Commonwealth shall have the right to make copies and distribute

proposals internally and to comply with public record or other disclosure requirements under the

provisions of any Commonwealth or United States statute or regulation, or rule or order of any

court of competent jurisdiction.

• Public Disclosure. After the award of a lease pursuant to this SFP, all proposal submissions are

subject to disclosure in response to a request for public records made under the Pennsylvania

Right-to-Know-Law, 65 P.S. § 67.101, et seq. If a proposal submission contains confidential

proprietary information or trade secrets, a signed written statement to this effect must be

provided with the submission in accordance with 65 P.S. § 67.707(b) for the information to be

considered exempt from disclosure under 65 P.S. § 67.708(b)(11).

NEWS RELEASES

Any news releases pertaining to this project will be made in coordination with the issuing office, and

subject to Commonwealth approval.

FACILITY ACCESS

Consistent with safety and operational factors, the selected proposer will provide the Commonwealth

unlimited access to the leased premises during the construction period.

SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION

The Commonwealth encourages participation by Small Businesses as lessors, and also encourages all

lessors to make significant commitments to use Small Businesses as subcontractors. Additional

information may be found in Appendix B of this SFP.
