1.07 AMENDMENTS TO THE RLP (JUN 2012)
This RLP may be amended by notice from the LCO. Amendments may modify the terms of this RLP, or the terms, conditions, and requirements of the Lease contemplated by the RLP.
1.08 LEASE DESCRIPTION (WAREHOUSE) (OCT 2023)
A. Offeror shall examine the Lease template included in the RLP documents to understand the Government's and the Lessor's respective rights and responsibilities under the contemplated Lease.
B. The Lease contemplated by this RLP includes:
1. The term of the Lease, and renewal option, if any.
2. Terms and Conditions of the Lease, including Definitions, Standards, and Formulas applicable to the Lease and this RLP.
3. Building Shell standards and requirements.
4. Information concerning the tenant agency's buildout requirements (“Special Requirements”), to be supplemented after award.
5. Security Requirements.
6. A description of all services to be provided by the Lessor.
C. Should the Offeror be awarded the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall be binding upon the Lessor without regard to any statements contained in this RLP.
D. The Lease contemplated by this RLP is a fully serviced Lease. See RLP Paragraphs 3.03 and 3.09 for further details on financial responsibility for various Operating Expenses. 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. Although certain Tenant Improvement (TI) requirements information is provided with this RLP and will be incorporated into the Lease, the TIs to be delivered by the Lessor will be based on the final design to be developed after award of the Lease, which reflects the Agency’s full requirements. The Lessor shall design and build the TIs and will be compensated for TI costs, together with design and project management fees to be set under the Lease. Although the TI requirements will not be developed fully until after award, Offerors shall provide the allowance stated in the Tenant Improvement Allowance paragraph of the Lease.
E. Unless the Government prepares Design Intent Drawings (DIDs), after award the Lessor must prepare DIDs for the leased Space conforming to the lease requirements and other Government-supplied information related to the client agency’s interior build-out requirements. The Government will have the opportunity to review the Lessor's DIDs to determine that the Lessor's design meets the requirements of the Lease.
Only after the Government approves the DIDs and a final price for TIs is negotiated will the Lessor be released to proceed with buildout. The Lease also provides that the Government may modify the TI requirements, subject to the Lessor's right to receive compensation for such changes.
F. The security pricing process is described in a separate paragraph.
G. Upon completion and acceptance of the leased Space, the Space will be measured for establishing the actual annual rent, and the lease term shall commence. In instances involving an incumbent Lessor where the Government commences the lease term pending completion of TI and/or BSAC alterations, the Government shall withhold TI and/or BSAC rent pursuant to Section 1 of the Lease until such time as the TI and/or BSAC is completed and accepted by the Government. During the term of the Lease, rent will be adjusted for changes to the Lessor's operating costs and real estate taxes, pursuant to paragraphs set forth in the Lease.
H. Offerors are advised that doing business with the Government carries special responsibilities with respect to sustainability, fire protection and life safety, and security, as well as other requirements not typically found in private commercial leases. These are set forth both in the lease form and in the GSA 3517B, General Clauses and will be made part of the Lease.
RLP NO. 4NY0800, PAGE 4 GSA TEMPLATE R101WH (5/25)
1.09 RELATIONSHIP OF RLP BUILDING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS (OCT 2016)
The Lease establishes various requirements relating to the Building shell. Such requirements are not deemed TIs. There are certain 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.
1.10 PRICING OF SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (OCT 2022)
A. The proposed Lease contains an attachment with the security requirements and obligations for the Building, which are based on the facility security level (FSL). The Federal Government determines the facility’s FSL rating, which ranges from FSL I to FSL IV. The FSL is based on client agency mix, required size of space, number of employees, use of the space, location, configuration of the site and lot, and public access into and around the facility.
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.
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 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES (OCT 2020)
With respect to all matters relating to this RLP, only the Government's LCO designated below shall have the authority to amend the RLP and award a Lease. The Government shall have the right to substitute its LCO by notice, without an express delegation by the prior LCO.

SECTION 2 ELIGIBILITY AND PREFERENCES FOR AWARD
2.01 EFFICIENCY OF LAYOUT (WAREHOUSE) (MAY 2014)
A. In order to be acceptable for award, the offered Space must provide for an efficient layout as determined by the LCO.
B. To demonstrate potential for efficient layout, GSA may request the Offeror to provide a test fit layout at the Offeror’s expense. The Government will advise the Offeror if the test fit layout demonstrates that the Government's requirement cannot be accommodated within the Space offered.
The Offeror will have the option of increasing the ABOA square footage offered if it does not exceed the maximum ABOA square footage in this RLP offer package. 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, an overall minimum width, and an overall minimum depth as described in Paragraph 1.02C
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.
2.03 SEISMIC SAFETY–—MODERATE SEISMICITY (MAY 2025) INTENTIONALLY DELETED
2.04 SEISMIC SAFETY–—HIGH SEISMICITY (MAY 2025) INTENTIONALLY DELETED
2.05 ASBESTOS (MAY 2025)
A. The Government requires space with no asbestos-containing materials (ACM), or with undamaged, nonfriable ACM. For purposes of this paragraph, “space” includes the 1) space offered for lease; 2) common building area; 3) ventilation systems and zones serving the space offered;
and 4) the area above suspended ceilings and engineering space in the same ventilation zone as the space offered. Notwithstanding the preceding, if no offers are received for such space, the Government may consider space with thermal system insulation ACM (e.g., wrapped pipe or boiler lagging), which is not damaged or subject to damage by routine operations.
B. ACM is defined as any material with a trace or more of asbestos quantity present.
C. Space with ACM of any type or condition may be upgraded by the Offeror to meet conditions described in sub-paragraph A by abatement
(removal, enclosure, encapsulation, or repair) of ACM not meeting those conditions. If any offer involving abatement of ACM is accepted by the Government, the successful Offeror will be required to successfully complete the abatement in accordance with OSHA (29 CFR § 1910.1001, 29 CFR § 1926.1101), EPA (40 CFR Part 61 - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants and Part 763), state, and local regulations and guidance prior to occupancy.
D. Management Plan and Reinspection Report Submittals. If space is offered which contains ACM, the Offeror shall submit a current asbestos-related management plan or operations and maintenance plan, along with a current asbestos re-inspection report (performed within the past 5 years) that includes a list of all ACM and their condition for acceptance by the Government prior to lease award. The management plan or operations and maintenance plan, and re-inspection report shall conform to generally accepted industry practice in accordance with OSHA (29 CFR § 1910.1001, 29 CFR § 1926.1101), EPA (40 CFR Part 61 - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants and Part 763).
E. The Government reserves the right to review Offeror’s existing records for compliance.
2.06 ACCESSIBILITY (SEP 2013)
The Lease contemplated by this RLP contains requirements for Accessibility. In order to be eligible for award, Offeror must either:
A. Verify in the Lease proposal that the Building, offered Space, and areas serving the offered Space meet the Lease accessibility requirements, or
B. Include as a specific obligation in its Lease proposal that improvements to bring the Building, offered Space, and areas serving the offered Space into compliance with Lease accessibility requirements will be completed prior to acceptance of the Space.
RLP NO. 4NY0800, PAGE 6 GSA TEMPLATE R101WH (5/25)
2.07 FIRE PROTECTION AND LIFE SAFETY (SEP 2013)
The Lease contemplated by this RLP contains Building requirements for Means of Egress, Automatic Fire Sprinkler System, and Fire Alarm System. In order to be eligible for award, Offeror must either:
A. Verify in the Lease proposal that the Building in which Space is offered meets the Means of Egress, Automatic Fire Sprinkler System, and Fire
Alarm System requirements of the Lease; or
B. Include as a specific obligation in its Lease proposal that improvements to bring the Building into compliance with Lease requirements will be completed prior to acceptance of the Space.
2.08 ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND SECURITY ACT (MAY 2025)
A. The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) establishes requirements for Government leases relating to energy efficiency standards and potential cost-effective energy efficiency and conservation improvements.
B. Subject to the exceptions below, unless one of the statutory exceptions listed in sub-paragraph C below applies, GSA may award a Lease for a Building only if the Building has earned the ENERGY STAR® label conferred by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) within the most recent year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions. The term “most recent year” means that the date of award of the ENERGY STAR® label by EPA must not be more than 1 year prior to the due date of final proposal revisions. For example, an ENERGY STAR® label awarded by EPA on October 1, 2023, is valid for all lease procurements where final proposal revisions are due on or before September 30, 2024.
Notwithstanding the above, buildings that meet any of the following are considered as equivalent to having an Energy Star label in the most recent year, provided they achieve an ENERGY STAR® label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government:
1. All new Buildings being specifically constructed for the Government, provided they achieve an ENERGY STAR® label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government, and received the “Designed to Earn the Energy Star®” certification prior to construction;
2. All existing Buildings that have had an Energy Star® label but are unable to obtain a label in the most recent year (i.e., within 12 months prior to the due date for final proposal revisions) because of insufficient occupancy;
3.
