Office of the

Federal Public Defender District of Wyoming

Tracy Racicot Hucke, Federal Public Defender David Weiss, First Assistant

MEMORANDUM

DATE: June 4, 2026

TO: General Services Administration

FROM: Tracy Hucke, Federal Public Defender

RE: Special Requirements for Cheyenne, Wyoming FPD Office

The Federal Public Defender essentially functions as an independent law office. It must be readily accessible to clients during normal business hours. The office requires public access to its reception area; access to office staff must be provided during both day and evening hours.

The Federal Public Defender Office must be distanced from the Office of the U.S. Attorney, U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), U.S. Probation Office, Pretrial Services Office, Bureau of Prisons and any other law enforcement agency. This separation is imperative due to the defense role of the Federal Defender.

DELINEATED AREA

This office responds to every new criminal case that comes through Joseph C. O’Mahoney federal courthouse, located at 2120 Capitol Avenue. Our attorneys must respond within minutes to these hearings, walking required.

The location of the office should be within the delineated area of Carey Avenue to Capitol Avenue and 22nd Street to 20th Street in Cheyenne, Wyoming. See map at the end of this document.

It is mission critical to relocate to space that meets our special requirements of occupancy, and sits the shortest possible distance from the courthouse.

SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Office space must be contiguous and self-contained without being split by a public corridor.

The public may not access the space without authorized entry at the reception area door.

Space shall not be a fire exit point accessible to other tenants in drills or emergencies.

PARKING SPACES

The lessor will provide at least twenty (20) structured parking spaces. If structured parking is not available, there must be surface parking available in an adjacent parking lot.

OFFICE SPACE

This list is being provided for informational purposes. The Federal Public Defender reserves the right to alter the layout and room sizes after award independent of the proposed configuration.
