AMENDMENT NO. 3

Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)

Yukon, OK – Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) VA Request for Lease Proposals

No. 36C24W25R0026

The purpose of this Amendment is to provide responses to the following requests for information:

Question 1: What is the VA’s Threshold for determining a fair and reasonable offer?

Answer 1: The VA conducts market research within the delineated area and surrounding areas to determine a current market range for buildings of comparable size and age. A fair and reasonable offer would be an offer that falls within the current range established by the market.

Question 2: Are the budgets listed in the RLP not the guiding factor for this determination?

Answer 2: RLP Section 3.07 provides a budget for Tenant Improvements only. The RLP does not list a budget for the annual rents for the term of the Lease.

Question 3: If previous submittals were deemed outside the range of fair and reasonable as mentioned in Amendment 2, could you clarify the VA’s expected price per square foot?

Answer 3: See Answer 1 above.

Question 4: Is the new solicitation/RLP subject to the minor lease threshold (net $1M max rent) or mid-level threshold (net $3.9M max rent, i.e. under the prospectus threshold)?

Answer 4: The threshold will be determined by the proposals received. Please see also Answer 1.

Question 5: Please clarify in Section 1.02(a) if there any minimum or maximum RSF. The below from Section 1.02(a) only mentions ABOA:

If proposal is a New Build, a minimum and maximum of 22,155 ABOA SF and Rentable Square Feet (RSF) should be considered as meeting VA requirements.

Answer 5: If a proposal is a New Build, 22,155 ABOA SF and 22,155 Rentable Square Feet (RSF) should be considered as meeting VA requirements. The VA will not accept any proposal for a New Build requiring rental payments for more than 22,155 RSF.

Question 6: Exhibit B – ASR does not have a Reception listed in the list of rooms. However, page 8 of the document outlines criteria for a receptionist area. Is there is a minimum target SF for this room and how many check-ins are needed?

Answer 6: We will need a reception area large enough for four (4) individuals to sit at the front desk. This will include three (3) receptionist and one (1) travel assistant. It will need to be approximately 300 SF and include a space for a printer.

All other requirements remain unchanged.
