6. Description of Amendment Amendment No. 0001 is hereby issued for the purpose of responding to Requests for Information (RFIs) submitted by interested parties up through December 13, 2024. The inquires and responses are recited below/

All other terms and condition of RLP 36C25025R0002 remain unchanged.

RFI #1: Is RLP 36C25025R0002 in anticipation of a minor or mid-level VA lease award?

RFI #1 VA Response: Based on independently conducted VA market research, RLP 36C25025R0002 demonstrates as the acquisition of a "minor lease." The term “minor lease” or “minor level lease” means leases of $1,000,000 or less in annual unserviced rent (net average annual rent for the term of the lease, including all non-firm terms, and excluding the cost of services).

RFI #2: The RLP specifies a maximum of 19,999 ABOA square feet (SF). Is there a minimum ABOA square footage requirement for this lease opportunity?

RFI #2 VA Response: The minimum ABOA square footage would be the ABOA square footage determined sufficient by an interested party that would meet the VA "Program Area" totals demonstrated under the VA "Program Area" column of RLP Exhibit D- Conceptual Floor Plan and Finishes. The total demonstrated VA Program Area, located at the bottom of Page 4 of Exhibit D (11,865 SF), does not contemplate/include the "Non- Leaseable Support Area" SF demonstrated at a total of 820 SF. Further, the VA Program Area total (11,865 SF), nor the "Non-Leaseable Support Area" total (820 SF), accounted for any drywall, framing, or chase areas. On Exhibit D- Page 4, the VA applied a common area factor (CAF) of 1.20 to the 11,865 SF VA Program Area total (11,865 SF), the product of which was the estimated ABOA SF demonstrated as 14,238 ABOA SF, at the bottom of Page 4- Exhibit D. (11,865 SF X 1.20 CAF = 14,238 ABOA) The VA then estimated ABOA square footage required for circulation/hallways/and program adjustments in the amount of 5,761 SF ABOA. This resulted in a total, and not to exceed amount of 19,999 ABOA SF demonstrated on Page 4 of Exhibit D.(14,238 ABOA SF + 5,761 ABOA SF = 19,999 ABOA SF).

19,999 ABOA is the maximum ABOA VA will consider for award. However, any submission that demonstrates it can meet the Program Area SF requirements (11,865 SF), and all other Ohio building codes, FGI Space Guidelines, ABBAS requirements, and requirements of the Lease and Exhibits in an ABOA square footage less than 19,999 ABOA SF, are welcome. Those sub-19,999 ABOA SF submissions would be given equal and full consideration toward meeting the stated "maximum 19,999 ABOA SF" requirement.

RFI #3: Is RLP 36C25025R0002 a pre-award DIDs lease acquisition?

RFI #3 VA Response: Yes. Per RLP Section 3.08; and Lease Section 4.01; RLP 36C25025R0002 is a pre-award DIDs procurement action. Initial offers should include architectural documentation that would satisfy the Factor 1 and Factor 2 submission requirements; a fully completed TICS table, and all other required pricing Exhibits/documentation.
