Response Clarifications to question submitted May 20, 2025

1.CLARIFICATION ONE:

Section 3.06 T. of RLP 36C24825R0052 calls for LEED – ID+C requirements.

Would the Agency consider allowing for Green building certification to be met by using Green Globes at the one green globe level, as typically seen in section 3.48 of the Lease?

Response: The agency will accept LEED or Green Globes documentation for completion of green buildings rating certification

2. CLARIFICATION TWO:

Page one of RLP 36C24825R0052 states, “Offers due by 5/26/2025 3:00 PM ET.

May 26, 2025, is Memorial Day, a Federal Holiday. Can the Agency clarify that this due date is correct?

Response: Solicitation due date is extended from May 26, 2025, 3:00PM EST to June 16, 2025 3:00PM EST

3. CLARIFICATION THREE:

Exhibit M – Service Labor rates specifically refers to service rates for service contracts. The listed NAICS code for RLP 36C24825R0052 is exempt from service contracts. Typically, we would see a DOL wage specifically related to construction for this type of project.

Can the Agency clarify if this is the correct document to be incorporated into this project?

Response: Exhibit M Service labor rates is hereby replaced with EXHIBIT M Labor Standards Provisions and DOL Wage Determination

4. CLARIFICATION FOUR:

Section 1.02 – G. states, “The lease term shall be 15 years, 5 Years Firm with Government rights, in whole or in parts, effective at any time after….”

Would the Agency consider a 10 Year Firm term?

Response: Government will consider all terms option submitted from offers

5. CLARIFICATION FIVE:

RLP Sections 3.07 Tenant Improvements Included in Offer & 3.08 Turnkey Pricing with Design Intent Drawings Prior to Award. Both sections refer to turnkey but 3.08 comes after DID. 3.07 implies turnkey prior to DIDs.

Would the Agency clarify how they would like Tenant Improvements proposed?

Response:

A. Offerors must provide DIDs along with initial offer showing their proposed solution to the requirements contained in this RLP. It is the responsibility of the offeror and their respective design and construction team to develop, review, and complete DIDs and establish final pricing prior to submitting their offer. The Offeror shall base the TI portion of its overall pricing on the proposed DIDs IAW the specifications in this RLP and attachments. This TI price is a fixed price which the Offeror shall include in the lease proposal and will be paid with Lump Sum. There will be no financing or amortization of any kind. The Government reserves the right to make no-cost tradeoffs in the TIs after award. No costs associated with the Building shell shall be included in the TI pricing.

6. CLARIFICATION SIX:

Exhibit A states “do not attempt to complete this lease”. In prior offerors with this contracting office, it was described to us that we have to fulfill these sections out, specifically pertaining to Section 4, within our offer.

Would the Agency clarify how they would like lease adjustments in Section 4 communicated in our offer?

Response: Offers shall follow instruction in RLP 36C24825R0052 exhibits and attachments

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFEROR: Do not attempt to complete this lease (GSA Lease Template L100, hereinafter Lease Template). Upon selection for award, VA will transcribe the successful Offeror's final offered rent and other price data included on Offeror’s submitted GSA Lease Proposal Form 1364, (hereinafter Lease Proposal Form) into a Lease Template, and transmit the completed Lease Template, together with appropriate attachments, to the successful Offeror for execution.
