8. OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.

Gas Light Milwaukee, LLC (Colliers) (Incumbent Lessor)

10. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME

ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION.

The Government will consider the time and cost of moving from the existing location, and the time and cost to build out new space when deciding whether it is economically advantageous to stay at the existing building or to undergo a competitive action.

Additionally, consideration will be given to the customer agency’s mission and security requirements (if applicable) to include limiting any agency space requirements that may be deemed unduly restrictive and thus favor the incumbent. The Government will remain conscious of the effort to continuously encourage competition when practicable.

The term of this extension action will allow sufficient time for the Leasing Officer to pursue and conduct a full and open procurement, in accordance with the Competition in Contracting Act.
