A. This Request for Lease Proposals (RLP) sets forth instructions and requirements for proposals for a Lease described in the RLP documents.

The Government will evaluate proposals conforming to the RLP requirements in accordance with the Method of Award set forth below to select an Offeror for award. The Government will award the Lease to the selected Offeror, subject to the conditions below.

B. Included in the RLP documents is a lease template setting forth the lease term and other terms and conditions of the Lease contemplated by this RLP and a GSA Proposal to Lease Space (GSA Form 1364) on which Offeror must submit its offered rent and other price data, together with required information and submissions. The Lease paragraph titled “Definitions and General Terms” must apply to the terms of this RLP.

C. Do not attempt to complete the lease template. Upon selection for award, the VA will transcribe the successful Offeror’s final offered rent and other price data included on the GSA Form 1364 into the lease and transmit the completed Lease, including any appropriate attachments, to the successful Offeror for execution. Neither the RLP nor any other part of an Offeror’s proposal must be part of the Lease except to the extent expressly incorporated therein. The Offeror should review the completed Lease for accuracy and consistency with his or her proposal, sign and date the first page, initial each subsequent page of the Lease, and return it to the Lease Contracting Officer (LCO).

D. The Offeror's executed Lease must constitute a firm offer. No Lease must be formed until the LCO executes the Lease and delivers a signed copy to the Offeror.

E. Offeror may not use Federal agency name(s) and/or acronym(s), e.g., General Services Administration (GSA), Department of Veterans Affairs

(VA), in the entity name that owns and/or leases the Space to VA.

1.07 AMENDMENTS TO THE RLP (JUN 2012)

This RLP may be amended by notice from the LCO. Amendments may modify the terms of this RLP, or the terms, conditions, and requirements of the Lease contemplated by the RLP.

1.08 LEASE DESCRIPTION (FEB 2026)

A. Offeror must examine the Lease template included in the RLP documents to understand the Government's and the Lessor's respective rights and responsibilities under the contemplated Lease.

B. The Lease contemplated by this RLP includes:

1. The term of the Lease.

2. Terms and Conditions of the Lease, including Definitions, Standards, and Formulas applicable to the Lease and this RLP.

3. Building Shell standards and requirements.

4. Information concerning the tenant agency's buildout requirements, to be supplemented after award.

5. Security Requirements.

6. A description of all services to be provided by the Lessor.

C. Should the Offeror be awarded the Lease, the terms of the Lease must be binding upon the Lessor without regard to any statements contained in this RLP.

RLP NO. 36C24526R0005, Page 7 GSA R100 (2/26, V2)

D. The Lease contemplated by this RLP is a fully serviced, turnkey Lease with rent that covers all Lessor costs, including all shell upgrades, TIs, operating costs, real estate taxes, and security upgrades.. Rent must be based upon a proposed rental rate per Net Useable Square Foot (NUSF), limited by the offered rate and the maximum NUSF solicited under this RLP. The Tenant Improvements to be delivered by the Lessor must be based upon information provided with this RLP, Lease, and Exhibits. The Lessor must design and build the TIs after award of the lease;

design reflects the VA’s full requirements. The Lessor must provide a not-to-exceed cost for design, project management, and buildout of TIs and will be compensated up to the not-to-exceed costs. Although the TI requirements will not be fully developed until after award, offerors must provide the not-to-exceed costs as part of the lease proposal and the not-to-exceed price will be in the lease in the Tenant Improvement Rental Adjustment paragraph. Offerors are encouraged to consider the use of existing fit-out and other improvements to minimize waste. However, any existing improvements must be deemed equivalent to Lease requirements for new installation, and Offerors are cautioned to consider those requirements before assuming efficiencies in its TI costs resulting from use of existing improvements.

After award, the Lessor must prepare Design Intent Drawings (DIDs) for the leased Space conforming to the Lease and Exhibits. The Government will have the opportunity to review the Lessor's DIDs to determine that the Lessor's design meets the requirements of the Lease.

Only after the Government approves the DIDs will the Lessor be released to proceed with buildout. VA review and approval does not release the Lessor from the obligation to meet the requirement as stated in the lease. The Lease also provides that the Government may modify the TI requirements, subject to the Lessor's right to receive compensation for such changes.

E. The security pricing process is described in a separate paragraph.

F. Upon completion and acceptance of the leased Space, the Space will be measured for establishing the actual annual rent, and the lease term must commence. However, the Government will not pay for additional NUSF above the solicitation requirements of 11,987 NUSF. In instances involving an incumbent Lessor where the Government commences the lease term pending completion of TI alterations, the Government must withhold TI pursuant to Section 1 of the Lease until such time as the TI is completed and accepted by the Government.

G. Offerors are advised that doing business with the Government carries special responsibilities with respect to sustainability, fire protection and life safety, and security, as well as other requirements not typically found in private commercial leases. These are set forth both in the lease template, all exhibits, and in the GSA 3517B, General Clauses, and will be made part of the Lease.

1.09 RELATIONSHIP OF RLP BUILDING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS (OCT 2016)

The Lease establishes various requirements relating to the Building shell. Such requirements are not deemed TIs. There are certain Building requirements that are established as minimum requirements in this RLP. If the Lessor's Building does not meet the requirements at the time of award, the Lessor may still be awarded the Lease. However, as a condition of award, the Government will require Lessor to identify those Building improvements that will bring the Building into compliance with RLP requirements. Upon award of the Lease, completion of those Building improvements will become Lease obligations.

1.10 PRICING OF SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (FEB 2026)

A. The proposed Lease contains an attachment with the security requirements and obligations for the Building, which are based on the facility security level (FSL). The Federal Government determines the facility’s FSL rating, which ranges from FSL I to FSL IV. The FSL is based on client agency mix, required size of space, number of employees, use of the space, location, configuration of the site and lot, and public access into and around the facility.

B. The security requirements attached to this Lease includes a general list of countermeasures that may be installed in the leased Space. Offeror must use the Security Unit Price List to provide the Government with itemized costs of these security countermeasures. Security upgrades will be paid in lump sum as part of Tenant Improvements.

C. There must be no charge to the Government for any items that already exist in the offered Building or facility.

1.11 SECURITY LEVEL DETERMINATION FOR FACILITY HOUSING OTHER FEDERAL TENANTS (APR 2011)

If an Offeror is offering Space in a facility currently housing a Federal agency, the security requirements of the facility may be increased and the Offeror may be required to adhere to a higher security standard than other Offerors competing for the same space requirement. If two or more Federal space requirements are being competed at the same time, an Offeror submitting on both or more space requirements may be subject to a higher security standard if the Offeror is determined to be the successful Offeror on more than one space requirement. It is incumbent upon the Offeror to prepare the Offeror’s proposal accordingly.

1.12 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES (FEB 2026)

With respect to all matters relating to this RLP, only the Government's LCO designated below must have the authority to amend the RLP and award a Lease. The Government must have the right to substitute its LCO by notice, without an express delegation by the prior LCO.

SECTION 2 ELIGIBILITY AND PREFERENCES FOR AWARD

2.01 EFFICIENCY OF LAYOUT (AUG 2011)

A. In order to be acceptable for award, the offered Space must provide for an efficient layout as determined by the LCO.

B. To demonstrate potential for efficient layout, the Offeror will provide a conceptual layout to demonstrate that the offered space has capability to fulfill the VA requirements to include floor layout for Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) design. Provide conveyance of full understanding of PACT design requirements. PACT design standards are found at https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/dGuide/dgPACT.pdf. Proposals are at the Offeror’s expense. The Government will advise the Offeror if the conceptual design layout demonstrates that the Government's requirement cannot be accommodated within the Space offered. The Offeror will not exceed the maximum square footage in this RLP offer package to include any adjustments that may take place during design after award. If the Offeror is already providing the maximum NUSF and cannot meet the Government's space requirements efficiently, then the Government will advise the Offeror that the offer is unacceptable. Government requires offered space to provide for easy circulation for Veterans in the offered space.

2.02 FLOODPLAINS (OCT 2022)

A Lease will not be awarded for any offered Property located within a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain (formerly referred to as 100-year floodplain) unless the Government has determined that there is no practicable alternative. An Offeror may offer less than its entire site in order to exclude a portion of the site that falls within a floodplain, so long as the portion offered meets all the requirements of this RLP and does not impact the Government’s full use and enjoyment of the Premises. If an Offeror intends that the offered Property that will become the Premises for purposes of this Lease will be something other than the entire site as recorded in tax or other property records the Offeror must clearly demarcate the offered Property on its site plan/map submissions and must propose an adjustment to property taxes on an appropriate pro rata basis. For such an offer, the Government may determine that the offered Property does not adequately avoid development in a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain.

In addition, a Lease will not be awarded for any offered Property adjacent to a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain, where such an adjacency would, as determined by the Government, restrict ingress or egress to the Premises in the event of a flood, unless there is no practicable alternative.

2.03 SEISMIC SAFETY – MODERATE SEISMICITY (MAY 2025) INTENTIONALLY DELETED

2.04 SEISMIC SAFETY – HIGH SEISMICITY (MAY 2025) INTENTIONALLY DELETED

2.05 ASBESTOS (MAY 2025)

A. The Government requires space with no asbestos-containing materials (ACM), or with undamaged, nonfriable ACM. For purposes of this paragraph, “space” includes the 1) space offered for lease; 2) common building area; 3) ventilation systems and zones serving the space offered;

and 4) the area above suspended ceilings and engineering space in the same ventilation zone as the space offered. Notwithstanding the preceding, if no offers are received for such space, the Government may consider space with thermal system insulation ACM (e.g., wrapped pipe or boiler lagging), which is not damaged or subject to damage by routine operations.

B. ACM is defined as any material with a trace or more of asbestos quantity present.

C. Space with ACM of any type or condition may be upgraded by the Offeror to meet conditions described in sub-paragraph A by abatement

(removal, enclosure, encapsulation, or repair) of ACM not meeting those conditions. If any offer involving abatement of ACM is accepted by the Government, the successful Offeror will be required to successfully complete the abatement in accordance with OSHA, EPA, Department of Transportation (DOT), state, and local regulations and guidance prior to occupancy.

D. Management Plan and Reinspection Report Submittals. If space is offered which contains ACM, the Offeror must submit a current asbestos-related management plan or operations and maintenance plan, along with a current asbestos re-inspection report (performed within the past 5 years) that includes a list of all ACM and their condition for acceptance by the Government prior to lease award. The management plan or operations and maintenance plan, and re-inspection report must conform to generally accepted industry practice in accordance with OSHA (29 CFR § 1910.1001, 29 CFR § 1926.1101), EPA (40 CFR Part 61 - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants and Part 763).

E. The Government reserves the right to review Offeror’s existing records for compliance.

2.06 ACCESSIBILITY (SEP 2013)

The Lease contemplated by this RLP contains requirements for Accessibility. In order to be eligible for award, Offeror must either:

A. Verify in the Lease proposal that the Building, offered Space, and areas serving the offered Space meet the Lease accessibility requirements, or

B. Include as a specific obligation in its Lease proposal that improvements to bring the Building, offered Space, and areas serving the offered

Space into compliance with Lease accessibility requirements will be completed prior to acceptance of the Space.

RLP NO. 36C24526R0005, Page 10 GSA R100 (2/26, V2)

2.07 FIRE PROTECTION AND LIFE SAFETY (SEP 2013)

The Lease contemplated by this RLP contains Building requirements for Means of Egress, Automatic Fire Sprinkler System, and Fire Alarm System. In order to be eligible for award, Offeror must either:

A. Verify in the Lease proposal that the Building in which Space is offered meets the Means of Egress, Automatic Fire Sprinkler System, and Fire

Alarm System requirements of the Lease; or

B. Include as a specific obligation in its Lease proposal that improvements to bring the Building into compliance with Lease requirements will be completed prior to acceptance of the Space.

2.08 ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND SECURITY ACT (MAY 2025)

A. The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) establishes requirements for Government leases relating to energy efficiency standards and potential cost-effective energy efficiency and conservation improvements.

B. Subject to the exceptions below, unless one of the statutory exceptions listed in sub-paragraph C below applies, the Government may award a lease for a Building only if the Building has earned the ENERGY STAR® label conferred by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) within the most recent year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions. The term “most recent year” means that the date of award of the ENERGY STAR® label by EPA must not be more than 1 year prior to the due date of final proposal revisions. For example, an ENERGY STAR® label awarded by EPA on October 1, 2023, is valid for all lease procurements where final proposal revisions are due on or before September 30, 2024. Notwithstanding the above, buildings that meet any of the following are considered as equivalent to having an Energy Star label in the most recent year, provided they achieve an ENERGY STAR® label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government:

1. All new Buildings being specifically constructed for the Government, provided they achieve an ENERGY STAR® label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government, and received the “Designed to Earn the Energy Star®” certification prior to construction;

2. All existing Buildings that have had an Energy Star® label but are unable to obtain a label in the most recent year (i.e., within 12 months prior to the due date for final proposal revisions) because of insufficient occupancy;

3. Newly built Buildings that have used Energy® Star’s Target Finder tool and either achieved a “Designed to Earn the Energy Star®” certification or received an unofficial score (in strict adherence to Target Finder’s usage instructions, including the use of required energy modeling) of 75 or higher prior to the due date for final proposal revisions and who are unable to obtain a label in the most recent year because of insufficient occupancy; or

4. An existing Building that is unable to obtain a label because of insufficient occupancy but that can produce an indication, through the use of energy modeling or past utility and occupancy data input into Energy Star’s® Portfolio Manager tool or Target Finder, that it can receive an unofficial score of 75 or higher using all other requirements of Target Finder or Portfolio Manager, except for actual data from the most recent year.

C. Subject to subparagraph D below, EISA allows a Federal agency to lease Space in a Building that does not have an ENERGY STAR® Label if:

1. No Space is offered in a Building with an ENERGY STAR® Label that meets RLP requirements, including locational needs;

2. The agency will remain in a Building it currently occupies;

3. The Lease will be in a Building of historical, architectural, or cultural significance listed or eligible to be listed on the National Register of

Historic Places; or

4. The Lease is for 10,000 RSF or less.

D. If one or more of the statutory exceptions applies, and the offered Space is not in a Building that has earned the ENERGY STAR® Label within one year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions, Offerors are required to include in their lease proposal an agreement to renovate the Building for all energy efficiency and conservation improvements that it has determined would be cost effective over the Firm Term of the Lease, if any, prior to acceptance of the Space (or not later than one year after the Lease Award Date of a succeeding or superseding lease). Such improvements may consist of, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) upgrades, including boilers, chillers, and Building Automation System (BAS)

/Monitoring/Control System (EMCS).

2. Lighting Improvements.

3. Building Envelope Modifications.

RLP NO. 36C24526R0005, Page 11 GSA R100 (2/26, V2)

E. The term "cost effective" means an improvement that will result in substantial operational cost savings to the landlord by reducing electricity or fossil fuel consumption, water, or other utility costs. The term "operational cost savings" means a reduction in operational costs to the landlord through the application of Building improvements that achieve cost savings over the Firm Term of the Lease sufficient to pay the incremental additional costs of making the Building improvements.

F. Instructions for obtaining an ENERGY STAR® Label are provided at HTTP://WWW.ENERGYSTAR.GOV/BUILDINGS/FACILITY-OWNERS-

AND-MANAGERS/EXISTING-BUILDINGS/EARN-RECOGNITION/ (use “Portfolio Manager” to apply). The ENERGY STAR® Building Upgrade Manual (HTTP://WWW.ENERGYSTAR.GOV/BUILDINGS/FACILITY-OWNERS-AND-MANAGERS/EXISTING-BUILDINGS/SAVE-ENERGY/) and Building Upgrade Value Calculator (HTTP://WWW.ENERGYSTAR.GOV/BUILDINGS/TOOLS-AND-RESOURCES/BUILDING-UPGRADE- VALUE-CALCULATOR) are tools which can be useful in considering energy efficiency and conservation improvements to Buildings.

G. If one or more of the statutory exceptions applies, and the offered Space is not in a Building that has earned the ENERGY STAR® Label within one year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions, the successful Offeror will be excused from performing any agreed-to energy efficiency and conservation renovations, and benchmarking with public disclosure (as provided in (I) below, if it obtains the ENERGY STAR® Label prior to the Government’s acceptance of the Space (or not later than one year after the Lease Award Date for succeeding and superseding leases).

H. If no improvements are proposed, the Offeror must demonstrate to the Government using the ENERGY STAR® Online Tools why no energy efficiency and conservation improvements are cost effective. If such explanation is unreasonable, the offer may be rejected.

I. As described in Section 3 of the Lease, successful Offerors meeting one of the statutory exceptions above must agree to benchmark and publicly disclose the Building’s current ENERGY STAR® score, using EPA’s Portfolio Manager online software application. See the Lease for additional details.

J. All new Buildings being specifically constructed for the Government must achieve the ENERGY STAR® Label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government.

2.09 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS (SEP 2013)

A. The Government requests space with no known hazardous conditions or recognized environmental conditions that would pose a health and safety risk or environmental liability to the Government.

B. Upon request by the Government, Offeror must provide all known previous use of the Building.

C. Offeror must indicate in its written offer any known hazardous conditions or environmental releases with/from the offered Space, Building or

Property.

2.10 DUE DILIGENCE AND NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT REQUIREMENTS - RLP (OCT 2023)

A. Environmental Due Diligence.

1. At the direction of the LCO, the Offeror must provide, at the Offeror’s sole cost and expense, a current Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), using the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E1527-21 and timeline, as such standard may be revised from time to time. In accordance with ASTM standards, the study must be performed by an environmental professional with qualifications that meet ASTM standards. This Phase I ESA must be prepared with a focus on the Government being the “user” of the Phase I, as the term “user” is defined in E1527-21. Failure to submit the required study may result in dismissal from consideration.

2. If the Phase I ESA identifies any recognized environmental conditions (RECs), the Offeror will be responsible for addressing such RECs, at its sole cost and expense, including performing any necessary Phase II ESA (using ASTM Standard E1903-11), performing any necessary cleanup actions in accordance with federal and state standards and requirements and submitting a proposed schedule for complying with these obligations. The Government will evaluate whether the nature of any of the RECs, the results of the Phase II, any completed cleanup, and the proposed schedule meet the Government’s needs.

B. National Environmental Policy Act.

1. While the Offeror is responsible for performing all environmental due diligence studies of the offered Property, the Government is responsible for compliance with NEPA, whether in whole or in part, on its own or with the assistance of the Offerors. NEPA requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their actions on the quality of the human environment as part of the federal decision-making process and, to that end, the Government’s obligations may, and in some cases will, be augmented by the Offerors as described in greater detail in the RLP.

2. The Government may either request information from the Offerors to help it meet its obligations under NEPA or share information provided in response to this provision with federal, state and local regulatory agencies as part of its compliance responsibilities under NEPA and other applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Further consultation with these regulatory agencies may be necessary as part of the NEPA process.

3. The Offerors are advised that the Government may be required to release the location of each offered site and other building specific information in public hearings or in public NEPA documents. By submitting an offer in response to this RLP and without the need for any further documentation, the Offeror acknowledges and consents to such release.

RLP NO. 36C24526R0005, Page 12 GSA R100 (2/26, V2)

4. The Government reserves the right to reject any offer where (i) the NEPA-related documentation provided by the Offeror for the offered Property is inadequate, (ii) the offer entails unacceptably adverse impacts on the human environment, (iii) the identified adverse impacts cannot be readily mitigated, or (iv) the level of NEPA analysis is more extensive than is acceptable to the Government.

5. An Offeror must allow the Government access to the offered Property to conduct studies in furtherance of NEPA compliance. This requires research and field surveys to assess the potential impacts to the natural, social and cultural environments. Any recent studies previously conducted by the Offeror may be submitted to be included in the NEPA process.

6. The Government will not proceed with Lease award until the NEPA process is complete as evidenced by the Government’s issuance of a completed CATEX, EA or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Upon Lease award, any mitigation measures, whether optional or mandatory, identified and adopted by the Government will become Lease obligations. All costs and expenses for development of design alternatives, mitigation measures and review submittals for work to be performed under the Lease will be the sole responsibility of Lessor.

2.11 NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT REQUIREMENTS - RLP (OCT 2023)

A. The Government is responsible for complying with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, 54 U.S.C. §

306108 (Section 106). Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their actions on historic properties prior to expending any federal funds on the undertaking. The Government is responsible for identifying whether any historic properties exist in, on, under, or near the offered Property that could be affected by the leasing action. Historic properties include both above-grade (i.e., buildings and historic districts) and below-grade (i.e., archeological sites) resources. The Government is responsible for assessing effects to identified historic properties and for consulting with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), if applicable, any local Historic Preservation or Landmarks Commission, and other interested parties, if applicable, in accordance with the implementing regulations set forth at 36 C.F.R. part 800 (Protection of Historic Properties).

B. An Offeror must allow the Government access to the offered Property to conduct studies in furtherance of the Section 106 compliance. This requires research and field surveys to assess the potential presence of historic properties that may be affected by construction activity, both above- and below-grade. Compliance also may require below-grade testing to determine the presence of archeological resources and possible artifact recovery, recordation and interpretation mitigation measures.

C. Demolition or destruction of a historic property by an Offeror in anticipation of an award of a Government lease may disqualify the Offeror from further consideration.

D. The Government reserves the right to reject any offer where documentation for the offered Property is inadequate or otherwise indicates preservation concerns or adverse effects to historic properties that cannot be minimized or reasonably mitigated, or where the level of NHPA analysis is more extensive than is acceptable to the Government.

E. If the Government determines that the leasing action could affect historic property, the Offeror of any Property that the Government determines could affect historic property will be required to retain, at its sole cost and expense, the services of a preservation architect who meets or exceeds the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Historic Architecture, as amended and annotated and previously published in the Code of Federal Regulations, 36 C.F.R. part 61, and the GSA’s Qualification Requirements for Preservation Architects and Other Specialists. These standards are available at: HTTPS://WWW.GSA.GOV/REAL-ESTATE/HISTORIC-PRESERVATION/HISTORIC- PRESERVATION-POLICY-TOOLS/. The preservation architect will be responsible for developing preservation design solutions and project documentation required for review by the Government, the SHPO, the THPO, if applicable, and other consulting parties in accordance with Section 106. For Tenant Improvements and other tenant-driven alterations within an existing historic building, the preservation architect must develop context-sensitive design options consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Where new construction or exterior alterations, or both, are located within a historic district, may be visible from historic properties or may affect archeological resources, compliance may require tailoring the design of the improvements to be compatible with the surrounding area. Design review may require multiple revised submissions, depending on the complexity of the project and potential for adverse effects to historic properties, to respond to comments from the Government and the other consulting parties. Within GSA, the Regional Historic Preservation Officer is solely responsible for corresponding with the SHPO, the THPO, if applicable, and any other consulting party. All design costs and expenses relating to satisfying the requirements of this paragraph will be borne solely by the Offeror.
