Rent shall 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.

The Lease establishes various requirements relating to the Building shell. Such requirements are not deemed TIs. There are 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.

The Federal Government determines the facility’s FSL rating, which ranges from FSL I to FSL IV.

INTENTIONALLY DELETED
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 shall submit a list of the itemized costs. Such costs shall be subject to negotiation. The Lessor shall 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. INTENTIONALLY DELETED
C. There shall 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 INSPECTION—RIGHT OF ENTRY (OCT 2021)
A. At any time and from time to time after receipt of an offer (until the same has been duly withdrawn or rejected), the agents, employees and contractors of the Government may, upon reasonable prior notice to Offeror, enter upon the offered Space or the Premises, and all other areas of the Building access to which is necessary to accomplish the purposes of entry, to determine the potential or actual compliance by the Offeror with the requirements of the RLP and its attachments, which purposes shall include, but not be limited to:

4. Inspecting for any current or past hazardous waste operations, to ensure that appropriate actions were taken to alleviate any environmentally unsound activities in accordance with Federal, state, and local law.
B. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a Government duty to inspect for toxic materials or to impose a higher standard of care on the Government than on other lessees. The purpose of this paragraph is to promote the ease with which the Government may inspect the Building.
Nothing in this paragraph shall act to relieve the Offeror of any duty to inspect or liability which might arise because of Offeror’s failure to inspect for or correct a hazardous condition.
1.13 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES (OCT 2020)

1.14 BROKER COMMISSION AND COMMISSION CREDIT (OCT 2020) INTENTIONALLY DELETED
A. For the purposes of this RLP, _________________________________ (the Broker) is the authorized contractor real estate broker representing GSA. The Government expects the Lessor to pay a commission to the Broker. By submitting an offer, the Offeror agrees that if the Offeror is paying a commission or fee in connection with this Lease to a listing agent, an offering agent, or broker, property manager, developer, or any other agent or representative, then the Offeror will pay a commission to the Broker to which the Broker would ordinarily be entitled consistent with local business practices, as evidenced through a brokerage agreement between the Offeror and the Broker. The commission will be negotiated between the Offeror and the Broker and will be based on a Lease term not to exceed the Firm Term of the Lease contemplated by this RLP. Commissions will not be negotiated or collected on option periods or for Lease terms beyond the Firm Term of the Lease. As part of the offer, the Offeror shall disclose all commissions and/or fees to be paid by the Offeror including both the Offeror’s agent(s), broker(s), property manager, developer or any other agent or representative and the Broker. The Offeror shall enter the commission amounts for its representative and the amount to GSA’s Broker in blocks 31a and 31b respectively on GSA Form 1217, Lessors Annual Cost Statement. An executed commission agreement reflecting this agreement shall be submitted with the initial offer.
B. Offerors are advised that there is a potential for a dual agency situation to arise under this procurement, whereby the Broker may represent both GSA and another Offeror under this lease action. By submitting an offer, the Offeror acknowledges the potential for a dual agency situation. Should there be an actual dual agency, the Broker will notify all Offerors of the actual dual agency and request written acknowledgement statements from all Offerors.
C. For the benefit of the Government, the Broker has agreed to forego a percentage of any commission that it is entitled to receive in connection with the contemplated Lease. This amount shall be specifically set forth at time of lease award. The resulting total dollar value of the foregone commission (the Commission Credit) shall be applied in equal monthly amounts against rental payments due and owing under the Lease. The rental amount payable shall be reduced by the Commission Credit at the commencement of the Lease, over the minimum number of months that will not exceed the monthly shell rental, until the Commission Credit has been fully recaptured. The parties agree to execute a Lease Amendment setting forth the full nature, extent, terms, and conditions of commissions paid to the Broker and the Commission Credit to be applied against the Government’s rental payment obligations under the Lease. Commissions and/or credits shall be treated as confidential financial information and Offerors will refrain from public disclosure or using the information for any other purpose than that for which it was furnished without consent of the GSA LCO.
D. For purposes of price evaluation, the Commission Credit shall be treated as a deduction from the rent in accordance with the Method of Award.
The amount of any commission paid to the Broker shall not be considered separately as part of this price evaluation since the value of the commission is included in the rental consideration.

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.
C. Space offered must have a minimum column spacing of XX feet XX inches, an overall minimum width of XX feet XX inches, and an overall minimum depth of XX feet XX inches. INTENTIONALLY DELETED
2.02 FLOOD PLAINS (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 shall clearly demarcate the offered Property on its site plan/map submissions and shall 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.

2.05 HISTORIC PREFERENCE (SEP 2013)
A. The Government will give preference to offers of Space in Historic Properties and/or Historic Districts following this hierarchy of consideration:
1. Historic Properties within Historic Districts.
2. Non-historic developed sites and non-historic undeveloped sites within Historic Districts.
3. Historic Properties outside of Historic Districts.
B. Definitions:
1. Determination of eligibility means a decision by the Department of the Interior that a district, site, Building, structure or object meets the National Register criteria for evaluation although the Property is not formally listed in the National Register (36 CFR 60.3(c)).
2. Historic District means a geographically definable area, urban or rural, possessing a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, Buildings, structures, or objects united by past events or aesthetically by plan or physical development. A district may also comprise individual elements separated geographically but linked by association or history (36 CFR 60.3(d)). The Historic District must be included in or be determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
3. Historic Property means any prehistoric or Historic District, site, building, structure, or object included in or been determined eligible for inclusion in the NRHP maintained by the Secretary of the Interior (36 CFR 800.16(l)).
4. National Register of Historic Places means the National Register of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering and culture that the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to expand and maintain under the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR 60.1).
C. The offer of Space must meet the terms and conditions of this RLP package and its attachments. The LCO has discretion to accept alternatives to certain architectural characteristics and safety features defined elsewhere in this RLP package to maintain the historical integrity of an Historic Building, such as high ceilings and wooden floors, or to maintain the integrity of an Historic District, such as setbacks, floor-to-ceiling heights, and location and appearance of parking.
D. When award will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable source selection process, the Government will give a price evaluation preference, based on the total annual ABOA SF present value cost to the Government, to Historic Properties as follows:
1. First to suitable Historic Properties within Historic Districts, a 10 percent price preference.
2. If no suitable Historic Property within an Historic District is offered, or the 10 percent preference does not result in such property being the lowest price technically acceptable offer, the Government will give a 2.5 percent price preference to suitable non-historic developed or undeveloped sites within Historic Districts.
3. If no suitable, non-historic, developed, or undeveloped site within a Historic District is offered, or the 2.5 percent preference does not result in such property being the lowest price technically acceptable offer, the Government will give a 10 percent price preference to suitable Historic Properties outside of Historic Districts.
4. Finally, if no suitable Historic Property outside of Historic Districts is offered, no historic price preference will be given to any property offered.

RLP NO. 2UT0314, PAGE 10 GSA TEMPLATE R101WH (10/22)
E. When award will be based on the best value tradeoff source selection process, which permits tradeoffs among price and non-price factors, the Government will give a price evaluation preference, based on the total annual ABOA SF present value cost to the Government, to Historic Properties as follows:
1. First, to suitable Historic Properties within Historic Districts, a 10 percent price preference.
2. If no suitable Historic Property within a Historic District is offered or remains in the competition, the Government will give a 2.5 percent price preference to suitable non-historic developed or undeveloped sites within Historic Districts.
3. If no suitable, non-historic developed or undeveloped site within an Historic District is offered or remains in the competition, the Government will give a 10 percent price preference to suitable Historic Properties outside of Historic Districts.
4. Finally, if no suitable Historic Property outside of Historic Districts is offered, no historic price preference will be given to any property offered.
F. The Government will compute price evaluation preferences by reducing the price(s) of the Offerors qualifying for a price evaluation preference by the applicable percentage provided in this provision. The price evaluation preference will be used for price evaluation purposes only. The Government will award a Lease for the actual prices proposed by the successful Offeror and accepted by the Government.
G. To qualify for a price evaluation preference, Offeror must provide satisfactory documentation in their offer that their property qualifies as one of the following:
1. A Historic Property within a Historic District.
2. A non-historic developed or undeveloped site within a Historic District.
3. A Historic Property outside of a Historic District.
2.06 ASBESTOS (OCT 2021)
