Exhibit E Award Based Criteria 24FEB2026.pdf

This document is Exhibit E outlining the award-based criteria for a federal lease solicitation. The Government will evaluate proposals based on twelve specific criteria, including the contractor's ability to finance the project, conformance to RLP and lease document requirements, and ability to meet or exceed agency requirements specified in Exhibit D. Proposals must demonstrate a move-in date of January 1, 2028 or earlier, with evaluation also considering the rate of amortized tenant improvements and rental rate per rentable square foot. The award will be based on which offer is most advantageous to the Government.

The evaluation criteria emphasize technical and operational capabilities essential to the project's success. Contractors must demonstrate experience constructing or retrofitting secure facilities in accordance with ICD 705, experience in accelerated design-build methodologies, and capability to work in a joint occupancy environment with a third-party IT installer. Additionally, contractors must be able to furnish and install pre-wired workstations and provide a bid valid for 60 days. The document contains a critical note stipulating that any offer containing terms that take exception to or modify lease provisions will not obligate the Government to award a lease in response to that offer, effectively making lease compliance non-negotiable.
