About this file
This document is a justification for other than full and open competition extension for a federal lease. The U.S. Forest Service Region 5 leases 21,066 rentable square feet of office space in Nevada City, California under lease number 1291S803L1701, which expires September 30, 2023. Approval is requested to negotiate a five-year extension with the incumbent lessor without full competition. The facility serves as the Forest Service regional office and must remain in Nevada City due to its central location near forest lands. Market research found no other acceptable locations. The proposed five-year extension at $12.81 per rentable square foot annually would total $1,508,441.55 for office and office-related space as currently used. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to the government would be fair and reasonable.
