Commercial Real Estate Agents, Owners & Managers

Cora Krishnek, Statewide Leasing Manager, State of Idaho, Division of Public Works

March 25, 2025

The State of Idaho is seeking to lease approximately 2,000 to 4,000 net rentable square feet of new or existing retail space

for occupancy by the Idaho State Liquor Division (ISLD) in Jerome, Idaho.

DUE DATES

Proposals are due by 5 pm MST April 10, 2026 at the State Leasing Program, Division of Public Works and may be:

• Mailed to 502 N. 4th Street 83702, PO Box 83720 Boise, ID 83720-0072;

• Hand-delivered to 502 N. 4th Street, Boise (office closes @ 5:00 PM - there is no mail slot); or

• Emailed to cora.krishnek@adm.idaho.gov

For further information on the RFP process, contact Cora Krishnek, Statewide Leasing Manager, Department of

Administration, Division of Public Works, State Leasing Program at (208) 332-1929. The Liquor Division is seeking an

executed Lease Agreement by the end of May 2026, and occupancy by July 2026. These dates are dependent on the current

premise condition and occupancy availability. The responder shall note when the premise would be available for the

Division.

LOCATION – JEROME, ID

All proposed sites must be appropriately zoned and should offer convenient access to the public. By statute, liquor stores

must be at least 300 feet from a school (Title 23-303). This RFP is for a potential replacement of the Jerome Liquor Store

#220 located at 1104 S. Lincoln, Jerome, Idaho. The Liquor Division has indicated a preference for a store within the

retail trade area of Jerome, Idaho.

COST OF LEASE

The estimated annual cost of the lease should reflect a competitive market rate per square foot per year. A turn-key finish

will be required; however, please see the general liquor division supplied and installed items section for Division specific

information. The proposal should detail the amount of the tenant improvement allowance included in the rental rate. A triple

net lease would be acceptable if NNN expenses can be quantified. Then the Liquor Division will be responsible for its own

electricity, gas and interior cleaning. The State may require a background check of personnel such as the maintenance staff

who would have access to the interior of the store. The proposal should detail the amount of the tenant improvement

allowance included in the rental rate as well as any incentives offered by building owner.

PROCESS OF SELECTION

INITIAL EVALUATION. A committee composed of the Leasing Manager of the Department of Administration, Division

of Public Works, or a designee, and staff of the Division and which may also include other non-state personnel will evaluate

the ranked factors during the initial or intermediate evaluation from one or more of the respondents. Additional information

default in payment of any taxes, excises or license fees due. If Lessor is a partnership or a corporation, Lessor may be

required to submit evidence that the entity is authorized to do business in the state of Idaho. The committee may elect to

visit one or more of the proposed sites to evaluate location and facility issues.

FINAL EVALUATION. Proposals will be ranked and negotiations will begin with the representatives of the top-ranked

proposal. If negotiations are successful, a lease will be completed. The State’s standard lease form, attached as Exhibit A,

will be used. STANDARD LANGUAGE WITHIN THE LEASE FORM IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.

Should negotiations with the top-ranked response be unsuccessful, negotiations will be opened with the second ranking

response and so forth until a suitable lease is obtained. The State reserves the right to disqualify all proposals as unacceptable

and to take any necessary action to obtain suitable space.

All final plans and specifications must be prepared by an architect licensed in the State of Idaho. Plans and specifications

may also be subject to review by the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council pursuant to Idaho Code § 67-5710A.
