Importance: High

Offeror:

A question has been submitted regarding the requirement to provide a test fit of one floor. The Government‐provided conceptual drawing (Exhibit B) is for a hypothetical floor plate of approximately 23,913 ABOA SF. The Government expects the Offeror’s architect to adjust the conceptual space requirement to fit the offered building’s floor plate.

For floor plates greater than the conceptual drawing (i.e. > 23,913 ABOA SF), the Offeror should:

1. Adjust the number of Work Spaces upwards by the percentage difference

2. Increase the size of the Shared Space proportionately by the percentage difference

3. Maintain a Circulation rate of similar proportion as current concept

Conversely, for floor plates less than the conceptual drawing (i.e. < 23,913 ABOA SF), the Offeror should:

1. Adjust the number of Work Spaces downwards by the percentage difference

2. Decrease the size of the Shared Space proportionately by the percentage difference

3. Maintain a Circulation rate of similar proportion as current concept

For purposes of demonstrating this adjustment, the following table summarizes the changes that should be made for a floor plate larger and smaller than the conceptual plan provided:

We hope that this clarifies any questions pertaining to adjustments for floor plate size when preparing the Offeror’s test fit.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns regarding this or any other matter.
