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.

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.

G. 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.

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.

Efficiency of Layout (Aug 2011) INTENTIONALLY EDITED

A. 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, VA requests the Offeror 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.

ACTION REQUIRED: USE FOR COMPETITIVE ACTIONS OR SOLE SOURCE ACTIONS FOR A NEW OR NEW/REPLACING LEASE. DELETE FOR SOLE SOURCE SUCCEEDING OR SUPERSEDING LEASES AT CURRENT LOCATION. NOTE: REMOVAL OF THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT TO OBTAIN A FLOODPLAIN CHECK.

ACTION REQUIRED: PARAGRAPH DEFAULTS TO A “BASE” STANDARD OF “1-PERCENT-ANNUAL- CHANCE” FLOODPLAIN DESIGNATION (FORMERLY REFERRED TO AS “100-YEAR” FLOODPLAIN). IF AGENCY DESIGNATES THIS AS A CRITICAL ACTION (DEFINED AS ANY ACTIVITY OR ACTION FOR WHICH EVEN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF FLOODING WOULD BE TOO GREAT), USE “0.2-PERCENT-ANNUAL-CHANCE" [TWO-TENTHS OF A PERCENT] FLOODPLAIN (FORMERLY REFERRED TO AS “500-YEAR” FLOODPLAIN) INSTEAD. EXAMPLES OF CRITICAL ACTIONS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: STORAGE OF IRREPLACEABLE RECORDS; STORAGE OF VOLATILE, TOXIC, OR WATER-REACTIVE MATERIALS; CONSTRUCTION OR OPERATION OF HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS; CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF UTILITIES AND EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT WOULD BE INOPERATIVE IF FLOODED; STORAGE OF NATIONAL STRATEGIC AND CRITICAL MATERIALS; ACQUISITION OF HEALTH FACILITIES FOR CLIENT AGENCIES; CHILD CARE FACILITIES; AND PUBLIC BENEFIT CONVEYANCES FOR SCHOOLS, PRISONS, AND SOME OTHER INSTITUTIONAL USES.

ACTION REQUIRED: PER FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT DESK GUIDE ISSUED NOVEMBER 2023 (https://www.gsa.gov/directives-library/floodplain-management-1), IF NEW CONSTRUCTION, USE THE FEDERAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STANDARD (FFRMS) FLOODPLAIN (ESTABLISHED BY EITHER OF THESE METHODS: CLIMATE INFORMED SCIENCE APPROACH, FREEBOARD VALUE APPROACH, OR 0.2-PERCENT-ANNUAL-CHANCE FLOOD APPROACH). CONSULT THE REGIONAL NEPA PROGRAM MANAGER TO OBTAIN THE APPROPRIATE FLOODPLAIN.

FLOODPLAINS (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 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.

The following are exempt from the Seismic Standards and all seismic leasing paragraphs, and the attachments can be deleted:

· The lease is for less than five (5) years,

· The lease is for building structures that are intended only for incidental human occupancy (occupied by People for two hours or less per day),

· Detached one- and two-family dwellings located where SDS < 0.4 g.

(check with the regional seismic engineer to determine the seismicity of the delineated area), or

· The delineated area is in the Green Area (low and very low seismicity) in the seismic leasing requirements map

· (see below for map and Additional instructions).

The above map designates the leasing seismic areas.

locate the delineated area on the RP8 Seismicity EXEMPTION Map, which is available at https://www.gsa.gov/system/files/RP8%20Seismicity%20Exemption%20Map.pdf. If it is clearly in the Green, yellow, or red areas, follow the instructions below. If the location is close to a border of two areas, cONTACT the regional SEISMIC engineer for assistance with determining which area the building is located in.

GREEN AREA

if the delineated area lies in an area of low and very low seismicity, the project is exempt from the requirements of RP 8.

action required: DELETE the following paragraphs FROM THE RLP:

· SEISMIC SAFETY FOR EXISTING CONSTRUCTION – moderate seismicity

· SEISMIC SAFETY FOR EXISTING CONSTRUCTION – HIGH seismicity

DO NOT ATTACH the offer form package, seismic requirements, TO THE RLP/LEASE OFFER PACKAGE.

YELLOW AREA

if the delineated area lies in an area of moderate seismicity, the project is Subject to the requirements of RP 8. The one exception is THAT A building containing less than 10,000 ABOA SF rented by the Government IS exempt. Because the Federal Government, including GSA, agencies with delegated authority, or agencies with statutory authority, may have other ongoing procurements or existing leases in the delineated area, Offerors must represent that, if awarded this lease, the OFFERED building wILL have LESS THAN 10,000 ABOA SF of space leased to the Federal Government. this is covered in the Moderate seismicity paragraph, sub-paragraph B.1.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND SECURITY ACT (OCT 2023)

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…
