[INSTRUCTIONS TO RECO: PLEASE NOTE THAT 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 THESE CLAUSES IF YOU HAVE REVIEWED AMS AND DOCUMENTED YOUR RATIONALE WITHIN THE NEGOTIATOR REPORT.]
17. Operating Cost Escalator (09/2021) 6.2.8 Insert in all standard space leases when operating expenses are included. AMS describes guidance for rent structure in leases including use of this clause in T3.8.8(B)(5).
A. The base for the operating costs adjustment will be $<insert base amount for operating costs> per square foot.
B. Calculating Annual Adjustment: Beginning with the second year of the lease and each year after, the Government shall pay adjusted rent for changes in costs for cleaning services, supplies, materials, maintenance, trash removal, landscaping, water, sewer charges, heating, electricity, and certain administrative expenses attributable to occupancy (Operating Costs).
The amount of adjustment will be determined by multiplying the base amount above, as negotiated and established prior to the lease award, by the percentage change in the Cost of Living Index for that year. The percentage change for a particular year shall be computed by comparing the index figure published for the month prior to that month which begins each successive 12-month period. [For example, a lease which commences in June of 2015 would use the index published for May of 2015, and that figure would be compared with the index published for May of 2016, May of 2017, and so on.] The Cost of Living Index is found in the U.S. Department of Labor Revised Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, U.S. City Average, All Items figure, (1982 to 1984=100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The total CPI adjustment amount will be incorporated into the fixed rental amount and paid in accordance with the terms of the lease.
C. In the event of any decreases in the Cost of Living Index occurring during the term of the occupancy under the Lease, the rental amount will be reduced accordingly. The amount of such reductions will be determined in the same manner as increases in rent provided under this paragraph.
D. Rental adjustments shall be effective on the anniversary date of the lease; however, payment of the adjusted rental rate shall become due on the first workday of the second month following the publication of the Cost of Living Index for the month prior to the 12-month period.
E. If Government exercises an option to extend the lease term at the same base rental rate as that of the original term, the total monthly rent to be paid during the option period shall be based on the CPI adjustments made during the original term. Annual adjustments for operating costs will continue in the same manner as during the original term of the lease.
F. In the event the Cost of Living Index decreases at any time during the term of the lease, the rental amount will be reduced accordingly. The amount of any such reductions will be determined in the same manner as the increases in rent provided under this clause.
18. Tax Adjustment (09/2021) 6.2.9 Insert in all standard space leases when tax adjustment is included. AMS describes guidance for rent structure in leases including use of this clause in T3.8.8(B)(5).
A. The Government shall pay for its share of increases in real estate taxes over the taxes paid for the calendar year in which its lease commenced. Payment will be in a lump sum and become due on the first workday of the month following the month in which paid tax receipts for the base year and the current year are presented to the CO, subject to the availability of funds. The Government will be responsible for payment only if the receipts are submitted within sixty (60) calendar days of the date the tax payment is due. If no full tax assessment is made during the calendar year in which the Government lease commenced, the base year will be the first year of a full assessment.
B. The Government's share of the tax increase will be calculated by multiplying the ratio of the square feet occupied by the Government to the total rentable square feet in the building by the total tax increase.
If the Government's lease terminates before the end of a calendar year, payment will be based on the percentage of the year in which the Government occupied the space. The payment will not include penalties for non-payment or delay in payment. If there is any variance between the tax assessed value of the Government's space and other space in the building, the Government may adjust its share of the tax increase.
C. The Government may contest the tax assessment by initiating legal proceedings on behalf of the Government and the Lessor or the Government alone. If the Government is precluded from taking legal action, the Lessor shall contest the assessment upon reasonable notice by the Government. If the Government elects to contest the tax assessment, payment shall become due on the first workday of the month following conclusion of the appeal proceedings.
D. In the event of any decreases in real estate taxes occurring during the term of occupancy under the lease, the amount will be reduced accordingly. The amount of any such reductions will be determined in the same manner as increases provided under this clause.
19. Lease/Rent Commencement (09/2021) 6.2.10 Insert in all standard space and antenna and equipment space leases where build-out occurs. The Government shall issue a Supplemental Agreement, to establish the lease/rent commencement date after the acceptance of space, if different from the date previously established in the lease. The rent commencement date shall be the date that the leased premises are accepted in writing by the Government. The Government shall not be required to commence rent prior to acceptance of the space by the Government.
20. Incremental Occupancy (01/2022) 6.2.11 Insert in all standard space and antenna and equipment space leases where build-out occurs. The Government shall have the right to elect to occupy the space in increments prior to the substantial completion of the entire leased premises. In case of incremental occupancy, the Government shall pay rent in an amount equal to:
Ratio of the number of square feet occupied the total number of square feet leased X total monthly rent = Incremental rent
Such incremental rent shall be paid upon the first business day of the month following the month that each increment of space is substantially complete and is accepted by the Government. The commencement date of the lease term will be the date on which the last increment of space is accepted by the Government.

Under no condition shall the Government be obligated to release the Transferor of obligations prior to (a) the rent commencement date; and (b) any amounts due and owing to the Government under the Lease that have been paid in full or completely set off against the rental payments due under the Lease.
F. As a condition for being recognized as the Lessor and entitlement to receiving rent, the Transferee must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) for purposes of “All Awards”, and complete all required representations and certifications within SAM and the “Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment” in this contract.
G. If title to the Property is transferred, rent shall continue to be paid to the original Lessor, subject to the Government's rights as provided for in this Lease.
