PART II – DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS

1.0 AMOUNT AND TYPE OF SPACE -

The FAA is interested in leasing approximately 2,050 occupiable square feet1 compromised of the following type of space:

o Office Space: 1,190 sq. ft.

o Storage: 430 sq. ft.

o Special: 430 sq. ft.

The offer shall meet the following space requirements:

o Must be located in a quality building of substantial construction o Have a potential for efficient layout o Be within the occupiable square footage range to be considered o In compliance with all of the Government’s minimum requirements set forth herein.

The design of the space offered shall be conducive to efficient layout and good utilization as determined by the Government. To demonstrate potential for efficient layout, the Offeror may be requested to provide a test fit layout at the Offeror’s expense when the space offered contains certain features like:

o Narrow column spacing;

o Atriums, light wells, or other areas interrupting contiguous spaces;

o Extremely long, narrow runs of space;

o Irregular space configurations; or o Other unusual building features.

The Government will advise the Offeror if the test fit layout demonstrates that the Government's requirement cannot be accommodated within the space offered. If the Offeror is already providing the maximum Office Area square footage and cannot house the Government's space requirements efficiently, then the Government will advise the Offeror that the offer is unacceptable.

The Government requires 11 parking spaces, of which 4 must be reserved for government owned vehicles. The cost of the parking shall be included as part of the rental consideration.

1 "Occupiable Square Feet" is the method of measurement for the area for which FAA will pay a square foot rate. It is determined as follows:

• If the space is on a single tenancy floor, compute the inside gross area by measuring between the inside finish of permanent exterior building walls or from the face of convectors (pipes or other wall-hung fixtures) if the convector occupies at least 50 percent of the length of exterior walls.

• If the space is on a multiple tenancy floor, measure from the exterior building walls as above and to the room side finish of fixed corridor and shaft walls and/or the center of tenant-separating partitions.

1.3 TENANT IMPROVEMENT - When applicable, the Offeror shall provide the dollar amount of the Tenant Improvement2 Allowance per occupiable square foot.

The Offeror may be requested to provide a listing of Offeror’s administrative costs, Offeror's profit and overhead, A/E design costs, and other associated project fees necessary to prepare construction documents to complete the Tenant Improvements.

State the basis for determining each component, (e.g. flat fee, cost per occupiable square foot, etc.). State any assumptions used to compute the dollar costs for each fee component.

1.4 OCCUPANCY - Estimated occupancy is the date that personnel will be moved into the space.

Occupancy is required within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the

Real Estate Contracting Officer issues the Tenant Improvement Notice to Proceed.
