If the Of feror is already providing the maximum net square footage and cannot house the Government's space requirements ef f iciently, then the Government will advise the Of feror that the of fer is unacceptable.

2.02 ACCESSIBILITY (SEP 2013):

The Lease contemplated by this RLP contains requirements for Accessibility. In order to be eligible for award, Of feror must either:

A. Verify in the Lease proposal that the building, of fered Space, and areas serving the of fered Space meet the Lease accessibility requirements, or

B. Include as a specif ic obligation in its Lease proposal that improvements to bring the building, of fered Space, and areas serving the of fered Space into compliance with Lease accessibility requirements will be completed prior to acceptance of the Space.

2.04 FLOOD PLAINS (JUN 2012):

A Lease will not be awarded for any of fered Property located within a 100-year f loodplain unless the Government has determined that there is no practicable alternative. An Offeror may of fer less than its entire site in order to exclude a portion of the site that falls within a f loodplain, so long as the portion of fered meets all the requirements of this RLP. If an Of feror intends that the of fered 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, then the Of feror shall clearly demarcate the of fered Property on its site plan/map submissions and shall propose an adjustment to property taxes on an appropriate pro rata basis. For such an of fer, the RECO may, in his or her sole discretion, determine that the of fered Property does not adequately avoid development in a 100-year f loodplain.

RLP No. DACA095250083400 Page 6 USACE RECRUITING RLP FORM R100 (10/2020)

2. If the Phase I ESA identif ies any recognized environmental conditions (RECs), the Of feror will be responsible for addressing such RECs, at its sole cost and expense, including performing any necessary Phase II ESA (using ASTM Standard E1903-11), performing any necessary cleanup actions in accordance with federal and state standards and requirements and submitting a proposed schedule for complying with these obligations. The Government will evaluate whether the nature of any of the RECs, the results of the Phase II, any completed cleanup, and the proposed schedule meet the Government’s needs.

B. National Environmental Policy Act

1. While the Of feror is responsible for performing all environmental due diligence studies of the of fered Property, the Government is responsible for compliance with NEPA, whether in whole or in part, on its own or with the assistance of the Of ferors.

NEPA requires federal agencies to consider the ef fects of their actions on the quality of the human environment as part of the federal decision making process and, to that end, the Government’s obligations may, and in some cases will, be augmented by the Of ferors as described in greater detail in the RLP.

2. The Government may either request information f rom the Of ferors to help it meet its obligations under NEPA or share information provided in response to this provision with federal, state and local regulatory agencies as part of its compliance responsibilities under NEPA and other applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Further consultation with these regulatory agencies may be necessary as part of the NEPA process.

3. The Offerors are advised that the Government may be required to release the location of each of fered site and other building specif ic information in public hearings or in public NEPA documents. By submitting an of fer in response to this RLP and without the need for any further documentation, the Of feror acknowledges and consents to such release.

4. The Government reserves the right to reject any of fer where (i) the NEPA-related documentation provided by the Of feror for the of fered Property is inadequate, (ii) the of fer entails unacceptably adverse impacts on the human environment, (iii) the identif ied adverse impacts cannot be readily mitigated, or (iv) the level of NEPA analysis is more extensive than is acceptable to the Government (e.g., of fers must be of a nature that would allow NEPA to be satisf ied by preparation of a Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) NEPA study or an Environmental Assessment (EA) with or without mandatory mitigation).

5. An Offeror must allow the Government access to the of fered Property to conduct studies in furtherance of NEPA compliance.

This requires research and f ield surveys to assess the potential impacts to the natural, social and cultural environments. Any recent studies previously conducted by the Of feror may be submitted to be included in the NEPA process.

6. The Government may not proceed with Lease award until the NEPA process is complete as evidenced by the Government’s issuance of a completed CATEX, EA or Environmental Impact Statement. Upon Lease award, any mitigation measures, whether optional or mandatory, identif ied and adopted by the Government will become Lease obligations. All costs and expenses for development of design alternatives, mitigation measures and review submittals for work to be performed under the Lease will be the sole responsibility of Lessor.

2.07 ASBESTOS (JUN 2012):

A. Government requests space with no asbestos-containing materials (ACM), or with ACM in a stable, solid matrix (e.g., asbestos f looring or asbestos cement panels), which is not damaged or subject to damage by routine operations. For purposes of this paragraph, “space” includes the 1) space of fered for Lease; 2) common building area; 3) ventilation systems and zones serving the space of fered; and 4) the area above suspended ceilings and engineering space in the same ventilation zone as the space of fered.

If no of fers are received for such space, the Government may consider space with thermal system insulation ACM (e.g., wrapped pipe or boiler lagging), which is not damaged or subject to damage by routine operations.

B. ACM is def ined as any materials with a concentration of greater than 1 percent by dry weight of asbestos.

C. Space with ACM of any type or condition may be upgraded by the Of feror to meet conditions described in sub-paragraph A by abatement (removal, enclosure, encapsulation, or repair) of ACM not meeting those conditions. If any of fer involving abatement of ACM is accepted by the Government, the successful Of feror will be required to successfully complete the abatement in accordance with OSHA, EPA, Department of Transportation (DOT), state, and local regulations and guidance prior to occupancy.

D. Management Plan. If space is of fered which contains ACM, the Of feror shall submit an asbestos-related management plan for acceptance by the Government prior to Lease award. This plan shall conform to EPA guidance.

2.08 NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT REQUIREMENTS - RLP (SEP 2014):

A. The Government is responsible for complying with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, 16 U.S.C. § 470f (Section 106). Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider the ef fects of their actions on historic properties prior to expending any federal funds on the undertaking. The Government is responsible for identifying whether any historic properties exist in, on, under, or near the of fered Property that could be af fected by the leasing action. Historic properties include both above-grade (e.g., buildings and historic districts) and below-grade (e.g., archeological sites) resources. The Government is responsible for assessing ef fects to identif ied historic properties and for consulting with the State Historic Preservation Of f icer (SHPO), the Tribal Historic Preservation Of f icer (THPO), if applicable, any local Historic Preservation or Landmarks Commission, and other interested parties, if applicable, in accordance with the implementing regulations set forth at 36 C.F.R. part 800 (Protection of Historic Properties).

RLP No. DACA095250083400 Page 7 USACE RECRUITING RLP FORM R100 (10/2020)

B. An Offeror must allow the Government access to the of fered Property to conduct studies in furtherance of the Section 106 compliance. This requires research and f ield surveys to assess the potential presence of historic properties that may be af fected by construction activity, both above- and below-grade. Compliance also may require below-grade testing to determine the presence of archeological resources and possible artifact recovery, recordation and interpretation mitigation measures.

C. Demolition or destruction of a historic property by an Of feror in anticipation of an award of a Government Lease may disqualify the Of feror f rom further consideration.

D. The Government reserves the right to reject any of fer where documentation for the of fered Property is inadequate or otherwise indicates preservation concerns or adverse ef fects to historic properties that cannot be reasonably mitigated.

E. If the Government determines that the leasing action could af fect historic property, the Of feror of any Property that the Government determines could af fect historic property will be required to retain, at its sole cost and expense, the services of a preservation architect who meets or exceeds the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Historic Architecture, as amended and annotated and previously published in the Code of Federal Regulations, 36 C.F.R. part 61, and the GSA Qualifications Standards for Preservation Architects. These standards are available at: HTTP://WWW.GSA.GOV/ PORTAL <HISTORIC PRESERVATION> <Project Management Tools> <Qualif ication Requirements for Preservation Architects>. The preservation architect will be responsible for developing preservation design solutions and project documentation required for review by the Government, the SHPO, the THPO, if applicable, and other consulting parties in accordance with Section 106. For Tenant Improvements and other tenant-driven alterations within an existing historic building, the preservation architect must develop context-sensitive design options consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Where new construction or exterior alterations, or both, are located within a historic district, may be visible f rom historic properties, or may af fect archeological resources, compliance may require tailoring the design of the improvements to be compatible with the surrounding area.

Design review may require multiple revised submissions, depending on the complexity of the project and potential for adverse ef fects to historic properties, to respond to comments f rom the Government and the other consulting parties. Within USACE, the Regional Historic Preservation Of f icer is solely responsible for corresponding with the SHPO, the THPO, if applicable, and any other consulting party. All design costs and expenses relating to satisfying the requirements of this paragraph will be borne solely by the Of feror.

SECTION 3 HOW TO OFFER

3.01 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – ACQUISITION OF LEASEHOLD INTERESTS IN REAL PROPERTY 552.270-1 (JUN 2011):

Of feror shall prepare a complete of fer, using the forms provided with this RLP, and submit the completed Lease proposal package to the Government as indicated below.

A. Definitions. As used in this RLP provision—`

“Discussions” are negotiations that occur af ter establishment of the competitive range that may, at the RECO’s discretion, result in the Of feror being allowed to revise its proposal.

“In writing, writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression that can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modif ication” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation’s closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made af ter the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a RECO as the result of negotiations.

“Time,” if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specif ied, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

B. Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged.

Of ferors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specif ied in the amendment(s).

C. Submission, modif ication, revision, and withdrawal of proposals.

(1) Unless other methods (e.g., paper media in sealed envelopes or packages) are permitted in the solicitation, proposals and modif ications to proposals shall be submitted via email. Of fers must be:

(i) Submitted on the forms prescribed and furnished by the Government as a part of this solicitation or on copies of those forms, and

(ii) Signed. The person signing an of fer must initial each erasure or change appearing on any of fer form. If the Of feror is a partnership, the names of the partners composing the f irm must be included with the of fer.

(2) Late proposals and revisions.

(i) The Government will not consider any proposal received at the of f ice designated in the solicitation af ter the exact time specif ied for receipt of of fers unless it is received before the Government makes award and it meets at least one of the following conditions:

a) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the activity designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of of fers, and / or the RECO determines that accepting the late of fer would not unduly delay the procurement.

b) It is the only proposal received.

D. Lease award.

(1) The Government intends to award a lease resulting f rom this solicitation to the responsible Of feror whose proposal represents the best value af ter evaluation in accordance with the factors and sub-factors in the solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government’s interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a lease af ter conducting discussions with Of ferors whose proposals have been determined to be within the competitive range. If the RECO determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an ef f icient competition can be conducted, the RECO may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an ef f icient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Therefore, the Of feror’s initial proposal should contain the Of feror’s best terms f rom a price and technical standpoint.

(5) Exchanges with Of ferors af ter receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counterof fer by the Government.

(6) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or sub-line items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is signif icantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the RECO determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

RLP No. DACA095250083400 Page 9 USACE RECRUITING RLP FORM R100 (10/2020)

(7) The execution and delivery of the Lease contract by the Government establishes a valid award and contract.
