This SFO includes a draft Lease setting forth the Lease term and other terms and conditions required by the FAA. The draft is for informational purposes only. Do not complete the Lease form. Upon selection for award, the FAA will finalize the Lease document based on the awarded Offeror's final rent and other price data and transmit the completed Lease, including any appropriate attachments, to the successful Offeror for execution.

The Offeror's executed Lease shall constitute a binding offer. No Lease shall be formed until the RECO executes the Lease and delivers a signed copy to the Offeror.

A. Lessor’s Annual Cost Statement. Complete all sections.

B. Proposal to Lease Space. Complete all sections, including but not limited to:

(1) A fully serviced Lease rate per ABOA and RSF, clearly itemizing the total base rental, TIA rate, operating costs, and parking (itemizing all costs of parking above base local code requirements or otherwise already included in shell rent).

(2) Improvements. All improvements in the base Building, lobbies, common areas, and core areas must be provided by the Lessor, at the Lessor’s expense. This base rental rate must also include, but is not limited to, property financing (exclusive of TIs), insurance, taxes, management, profit, etc., for the Building. The base rental rate must also include all basic Building systems and common area buildout, including base Building lobbies, common areas, core areas, etc., exclusive of the ABOA Space offered as required in this SFO.

(3) The annual cost per ABOA and rentable square foot (RSF) for the cost of services and utilities. This refers to line 27 of FAA’s Lessor’s Annual Cost Statement, divided by the Building size for ABOA and RSF, respectively.

(4) The annual rent to amortize the Tenant Improvements. Such amortization must be expressed as a cost per ABOA and RSF per year. This amount must include all alterations for the Space above the Building shell. Such alterations must be described and identified in the drawings used to construct the Space. The Tenant Improvement Allowance (TIA), which is to be provided by the Lessor to the Government for TIs, must be made available at Lease execution. If the Offeror chooses to amortize the TI for a period exceeding the Firm Term of the Lease, the Offeror must indicate the amortization period in the offer. If the Government terminates the Lease after the Firm Term or does not otherwise renew or extend the term beyond the Firm Term, the Government will not be liable for any unamortized TI costs resulting from an extended amortization period.

(5) A fully serviced Lease rate per ABOA and RSF for that portion of the Lease term extending beyond the Firm Term. The rate proposed for this portion of the term must not reflect any Tenant Improvements as they will have been fully amortized over the Firm Term.

(6) An hourly overtime rate for overtime use of heating and cooling, and annual rate for areas requiring 24/7 HVAC. NOTE: Refer to the Lease document for additional guidance.

(7) Lessor’s Fees to complete Tenant Improvements. Provide a listing of proposed (i) Lessor’s Project Management fee and (ii) Lessor’s A/E design costs to prepare construction documents, to complete the Tenant Improvements. State the basis for determining each component, (e.g. flat fee, cost per ABOA SF, etc.). State any assumptions used to compute the dollar costs for each fee component.

(8) Rent concessions being offered. Indicate either on the Proposal to Lease Space or in separate correspondence.

23. Operating Costs Requirements Included in Offer (07/2022) 6.2.22-2 Insert in all SFOs when offers containing escalating operating costs will be considered. AMS describes guidance for rent structure in leases including use of this provision in T3.8.8(B)(5) The Government requires a fully serviced Lease as part of the rental consideration. The base for the operating costs adjustment will be established during negotiations based upon rentable SF. The proposed methodology for operating costs adjustment must include all items specified in the attached Lease. The minimum requirements for normal hours, utilities, and janitorial services are specified in the attached Lease document. The offer must clearly state whether the rental is firm throughout the term of the Lease or if it is subject to annual adjustment of operating costs as indicated above. If operating costs will be subject to adjustment, those costs shall be specified in the proposal.

Responsibility will be determined in accordance with AMS T3.2.2.7(A)(1). Price will be determined in accordance with the "Present Value Price Evaluation" paragraph of this SFO.

If the Offeror requests deviations from any term or condition of the Lease, each must be documented on the Proposal to Lease Space in block labeled “Additional Remarks or Conditions with Respect to this Offer.” At its sole discretion, the FAA will decide whether to accept the deviation. By submitting deviations, the Offeror acknowledges and accepts the risk that the offer may be determined unacceptable, and the FAA’s award determination rescinded.

OR

26. Contract Award (07/2022) 6.2.24-1 Insert in all SFOs where source selection will be Trade Off The Lease will be awarded to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the requirements of this SFO and will, as determined by the source selection official, offer the best value, considering technical quality, cost or price, and other SFO criteria. Responsibility will be determined in accordance with AMS T3.2.2.7(A)(1). Price will be determined in accordance with the "Present Value Price Evaluation" paragraph of this SFO.

If the Offeror requests deviations from any term or condition of the Lease, each must be documented on the Proposal to Lease Space in block labeled “Additional Remarks or Conditions with Respect to this Offer.” At its sole discretion, the FAA will decide whether to accept the deviation. By submitting deviations, the Offeror acknowledges and accepts the risk that the offer may be determined unacceptable, and the FAA’s award determination rescinded.

27. Communications (07/2022) 6.2.25 Insert in all SFOs A. The Government reserves the right to award a contract from initial proposals without entering into communications with any Offerors. Offerors are cautioned to submit their best offer with the initial proposal. If the Government elects to communicate with Offerors, the Government may conduct written or oral communications with any and/or all Offerors, and may reduce the firms participating in the competition to only those Offerors most likely to receive award. Offerors eliminated from competition will be notified by the Real Estate Contracting Officer.

B. In addition, the FAA reserves the right to conduct communications with any individual competing Offeror, or all competing Offerors, as the situation warrants. Communications with one or more Offerors does not require discussions with all Offerors. When communications are conducted, FAA may negotiate the rental price for the initial term, any renewal periods, and any other aspect of the offer relating to price as deemed necessary by the FAA. Although a designee may enter communications on behalf of the Government, only the Real Estate Contracting Officer has the authority to bind the Government.

C. As a result of communications, the RECO may allow reasonable opportunity to submit revisions to initial offers including any cost or price revisions if in the best interest of the FAA. The Government also reserves the right to (i) reject any and all offers, (ii) waive any requirement, and (iii) accept minor irregularities and discrepancies if doing so is determined to be in the best interest of the FAA.

28. Present Value Price Evaluation (07/2022) 6.2.23 Insert in all SFOs A. The Offeror must submit plans and any other information to demonstrate that the Rentable Space yields ABOA space within the required ABOA range. The Government will verify the amount of ABOA SF and will convert the rentable prices offered to ABOA prices, which will subsequently be used in the price evaluation.

B. Evaluation of offered prices will be based on the annual price per ABOA SF, including all required option periods. The Government will perform present value price evaluation by reducing the prices per ABOA SF to a composite annual ABOA SF price, as follows: Parking and wareyard areas will be excluded from the total square footage but not from the price. For different types of space, the gross annual per ABOA SF price will be determined by dividing the total annual rental by the total ABOA square footage excluding these areas.

C. Acceptable rent structures are:

(1) Fixed Rent (where the rent amount and the time at which it is required to be paid are fixed and determinable under the terms of the lease agreement as of the lease date);

(2) Step-up Rent (where the lease clearly defines future rent increases at set times throughout the life of the lease).

If the offer utilizes one of these preferred rent structures, and annual adjustments in operating expenses will not be made, the gross annual price will be discounted annually at 5 percent to yield a gross present value cost (PVC).

[OPTIONAL- USE OF EITHER THE OPERATING COST ESCALATOR OR TAX ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE IS NOT A PREFERRED METHOD OF RENT STRUCTURE. AMS T3.8.8.B.5 DESCRIBES AGENCY PREFERENCE OF RENT STRUCTURE AS FIXED RENT OR STEP-UP RENT. ONLY INCLUDE THIS PARAGRAPH IF YOU HAVE REVIEWED AMS AND DOCUMENTED YOUR RATIONALE WITHIN THE NEGOTIATOR REPORT. OTHERWISE, DELETE.] D. If annual CPI adjustments in operating expenses are included, the Offeror shall be required to submit the offer with the total "gross" annual price per RSF and per ABOA SF and a breakout of the "base" price per RSF and ABOA SF for services and utilities (operating expenses) to be provided by the Lessor. The "gross" price shall include the "base" price. The base price per ABOA SF from which adjustments are made will be the base price for the term of the Lease, including any option periods.

If annual adjustments in operating expenses will be made, the annual price and minus the base cost of operating expenses, will be discounted annually at 5 percent to yield net PVC. The operating expenses will be both escalated at 2.5 percent compounded annually and discounted annually at 5 percent, then added to the net PVC to yield the gross PVC. Comment by Schneider, Ryan S (FAA): I’m leaving the CPI adjustments due to size and duration of lease. Too much risk to guess future prices for this size.

[OPTIONAL-INCLUDE ONLY IF STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS ALLOWS FOR LESS THAN FULL SERVICE. OTHERWISE, DELETE.] E. To the gross PVC will be added:

(1) The annualized (over the full term) cost of any items, which are to be reimbursed in a lump sum payment. (The cost of these items is present value; therefore, it will not be discounted.)

(2) The annual price for parking to accommodate the minimum number of spaces required for government vehicles, if not included in the shell rent and charged separately. The price will be discounted annually at 5 percent.

[OPTIONAL – INCLUDE ONLY IF YOU WILL ACCOUNT FOR RELOCATION COSTS IN THE PRICE EVALUATION. OTHERWISE, DELETE.]
