About this file
This is Amendment 0004 to a Request for Lease Proposal (RLP) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs' Regional Procurement Office West for a new VA clinic facility in Tarrant County, Texas. The amendment consists of Questions and Answers from potential offerors submitted during the Q&A period and does not substantively alter the original RLP terms and conditions.
The solicitation seeks a fully serviced lease for approximately 15,000–17,000 rentable square feet (RSF) of clinical space with 138 surface parking spaces and an anticipated beneficial occupancy date of December 2028. The lease term is 20 years total, structured as 10 years firm and 10 years soft with no option years. The tenant improvement allowance is estimated not to exceed $425.00 per ABOA SF for clinical space and will be negotiated following design iterations and construction documents. This is a new requirement, not a renewal of an existing lease. The facility must be an existing building that has undergone or will complete modernization by occupancy and must have approved City/County permitting at RLP closing. New construction is permitted provided it meets this requirement. No seismic retrofit, emergency generator, or net utilities provisions apply to this Dallas-Fort Worth area project. The offered space will require daily standard janitorial cleaning, with potential terminal cleaning if infection control measures become necessary. Transit proximity is required and may be met through any combination of rail and/or bus accessibility. The RLP package submission deadline is Friday, October 23, 2026, at 3:00 PM CST, with the lease contracting officer identified as Robert Garcia, Jr.
