About this file
This is an RLP (Request for Lease Proposal) Exhibit O template addressing swing space requirements for a federal lease procurement in Buffalo, Wyoming. The document provides instructions and requirements for offerors to propose temporary swing space solutions to house government operations during renovations of the primary leased space.
The GSA seeks to lease office (16,018–16,861 sq. ft.), warehouse/light industrial (6,242–6,570 sq. ft.), and wareyard (minimum 19,380 sq. ft.) space in Buffalo, WY for an estimated occupancy of Fall 2028, with a full 20-year firm term. Offerors must submit a comprehensive swing space plan as part of their initial offer, including: a detailed narrative demonstrating how renovations will proceed with minimal disruption to BLM operations; computer-generated floor plans at 1/8" = 1'0" scale showing swing space blocks and finishes; and a schedule addressing all interim moves and phasing aligned with lease requirements. Swing space must functionally meet current operational needs for office, warehouse, and wareyard functions and must not interfere with fire season operations (April–October). The incumbent lessor is responsible for all moving costs except one final move per government employee, which the Government will cover. Offerors must demonstrate ownership of proposed swing space through deed or an executed Letter of Intent reflecting a lease term coterminous with renovation completion. Offers are due January 8, 2027, and must be submitted electronically through the GSA Leasing Portal. The Lease Contracting Officer is Darrin Hotaling, with Timothy Pavek serving as Broker Contractor.
