OFFICE SPACE IN RICHLAND 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.
