SECTION 1 STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS

1.01 GENERAL INFORMATION (FEB 2026)

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, GSA 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, in the entity name that owns and/or leases the Space to GSA.

1.02 AMOUNT AND TYPE OF SPACE, LEASE TERM, AND OCCUPANCY DATE (FEB 2026)

A. The Government is seeking 11,389 of American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managers Association (ANSI/BOMA)

Occupant Area (ABOA) square feet (SF) of contiguous space within the Area of Consideration set forth below. See Section 2 of the Lease for applicable ANSI/BOMA standards.

B. The Space shall be located in a modern quality Building of sound and substantial construction with a facade of stone, marble, brick, stainless steel, aluminum or other permanent materials in good condition and acceptable to the LCO. If not a new Building, the Space offered shall be in a Building that has undergone, or will complete by occupancy, modernization or adaptive reuse for the Space with modern conveniences.

C. The Government requires 19 structured/inside parking spaces and or 19 surface/outside parking spaces, reserved for the exclusive use of the

Government. These spaces must be secured and lit in accordance with the Security Requirements set forth in the Lease. Offeror must include the cost of this parking as part of the rental consideration.

D. As part of the rental consideration, the Government may require use of part of the Building roof for the installation of antenna(s). If antenna space is required, specifications regarding the type of antenna(s) and mounting requirements are included in the agency requirements information provided with this RLP.

E. The Government may provide vending machines within the Government's leased area under the provisions of the Randolph-Sheppard Act

(20 UC 107 et. seq.). If the Government chooses to provide vending facilities, the Government will control the number, kind, and locations of vending facilities and will control and receive income from all automatic vending machines. Offeror must provide necessary utilities and make related alterations. The cost of the improvements is part of Tenant Improvement (TI) costs. The Government will not compete with other facilities having exclusive rights in the Building. The Offeror must advise the Government if such rights exist.

F. The lease term must be 15 Years, 13 Years Firm, with Government termination rights, in whole or in parts, effective at any time after the Firm Term of the Lease by providing not less than 90 days’ prior written notice.

RLP NO. 02TN0427, PAGE 3 GSA TEMPLATE R100 (5/26)

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, and renewal option, if any.

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.

D. The Lease contemplated by this RLP is a fully serviced Lease. Rent must be based upon a proposed rental rate per Rentable Square Foot

(RSF), limited by the offered rate and the maximum ABOA SF solicited under this RLP. Although certain Tenant Improvement (TI) requirements information is provided with this RLP and will be incorporated into the Lease, the TIs to be delivered by the Lessor will be based on the final design to be developed after award of the Lease, which reflects the Agency’s full requirements. The Lessor must design and build the TIs and will be compensated for TI costs, together with design and project management fees to be set under the Lease. Although the TI requirements will not be developed fully until after award, Offerors must provide the allowance stated in the Tenant Improvement Allowance paragraph of the Lease.

Unless the Government prepares Design Intent Drawings (DIDs), after award the Lessor must prepare DIDs for the leased Space conforming to the lease requirements and other Government-supplied information related to the client agency’s interior build-out requirements. 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 and a final price for TIs is negotiated will the Lessor be released to proceed with buildout. 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 lease term must commence. In instances involving an incumbent Lessor where the

Government commences the lease term pending completion of TI and/or BSAC alterations, the Government must withhold TI and/or BSAC rent pursuant to Section 1 of the Lease until such time as the TI and/or BSAC is completed and accepted by the Government. During the term of the Lease, rent will be adjusted for changes to the Lessor's operating costs and real estate taxes, pursuant to paragraphs set forth in the Lease.

G. Offerors are advised that doing business with the Government carries special responsibilities with respect to 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 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 as part of the Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC). The final list of security countermeasures will be determined during the design phase and identified in the design intent drawings and construction documents. After completing the construction documents, the Lessor must submit a list of the itemized costs. Such costs must be subject to negotiation. The Lessor must design and build the BSAC and will be compensated for BSAC costs, together with design and project management fees to be set under the Lease.

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

RLP NO. 02TN0427, PAGE 4 GSA TEMPLATE R100 (5/26)

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, GSA may request the Offeror to provide a test fit layout at the Offeror’s expense. The Government will advise the Offeror if the test fit layout demonstrates that the Government's requirement cannot be accommodated within the Space offered.

The Offeror will have the option of increasing the ABOA square footage offered, if it does not exceed the maximum ABOA square footage in this RLP offer package. If the Offeror is already providing the maximum ABOA square footage and cannot house the Government's space requirements efficiently, then the Government will advise the Offeror that the offer is unacceptable.

2.02 FLOODPLAINS (FEB 2026)

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 (FEB 2026)

In accordance with the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977, the following apply:

A. The Government intends to award a Lease to an Offeror of a Building that is in compliance with the Seismic Standards. If an offer is received which is in compliance with the Seismic Standards and the other requirements of this RLP, then other offers which do not comply with the Seismic Standards will not be considered. If none of the offers is in compliance with the Seismic Standards, the LCO will make the award to the Offeror whose offer meets the other requirements of this RLP and provides the best value to the Government, taking into account price, seismic safety and any other evaluation factors specified in this RLP.

B. An offered Building will be considered to be in compliance with the Seismic Standards if it meets one of the following conditions:

1. The offer includes a representation that the Building will have less than 10,000 ABOA SF of Space leased to the Federal Government upon commencement of the lease term (Seismic Form D),

2. The offer includes a Seismic Certificate certifying that the Building is a Benchmark Building (Seismic Form A).

3. The offer includes a Seismic Certificate based on a Tier I Evaluation showing that the Building meets the Seismic Standards (Seismic

Form B). The submission must include the checklists and backup calculations from the Tier 1 Evaluation.

4. The offer includes a Seismic Certificate based on a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Evaluation showing that the Building complies with the Seismic

Standards (Seismic Form B). If the certificate is based on a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Evaluation, the data, working papers, calculations and reports from the evaluation must be made available to the Government.

5. The offer includes a commitment to retrofit the Building to satisfy all of the Basic Safety Objective requirements of ASCE/SEI 41 (Seismic

Form C, Part 1). If the Offeror proposes to retrofit the Building, the offer must include a Tier 1 report with all supporting documents, a narrative explaining the process and scope of retrofit, and a schedule for the seismic retrofit. The Offeror must provide a construction schedule, concept design for the seismic upgrade, and supporting documents for the retrofit, including structural calculations, drawings, specifications, and geotechnical report to the Government for review and approval prior to award. The documentation must demonstrate the seismic retrofit will meet the seismic standards and be completed within the time frame required.

6. The offer includes a pre-award commitment to construct a new Building, using local building codes (Seismic Form C, Part 2).

C. The LCO may allow an Offeror to submit a Seismic Certificate after the deadline for final proposal revisions. However, the LCO is not obligated to delay award in order to enable an Offeror to submit a Seismic Certificate.

D. Definitions. For the purpose of this paragraph:

Alarm System requirements of the Lease; or http://www.asce.org/publications/ https://www.nist.gov/publications/standards-seismic-safety-existing-federally-owned-and-leased-buildings-icssc

RLP NO. 02TN0427, PAGE 7 GSA TEMPLATE R100 (5/26)

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 (FEB 2026)

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, GSA 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:
