About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a succeeding lease for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in Atlanta, Georgia. The NRC currently leases 97,014 ABOA/109,143 rentable square feet of office space at Marquis One Tower, which expires on 11-30-2024. The NRC is requesting approval to negotiate a succeeding lease with the incumbent lessor for 48,269 ABOA/54,303 rentable square feet for a 15-year term commencing on 12-01-2024, at an estimated annual cost of $1,459,614.08 and a total contract value of $21,117,282.70. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as the statutory authority, noting that award to any other offeror would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that are not expected to be recovered through competition, as relocation costs are estimated to exceed the costs of remaining at the current location by $13,786,448.41.

Exhibit A
Leasing Justification– Succeeding Lease
Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, Succeeding Lease
U.S. General Services Administration
GSA Region 04
Atlanta North
JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
PROJECT NUMBER: 0GA2170
Agency Name: Nuclear Regulatory Commission
1. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF ACTION BEING APPROVED.
The General Services Administration currently leases 97,014 ABOA/109,143 rentable square feet (RSF) of office space at Marquis One Tower, 245 Peachtree Center Ave. NE, ATLANTA, GA 30303-1222 under lease number GS- 04B-48120 for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The current lease expires 11-30-2024. Approval is requested to negotiate a succeeding lease with the incumbent Lessor without full and open competition for continued occupancy at this leased location. The procedures for pursuing a succeeding lease are detailed in GSAR 570.402: Succeeding Leases.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY’S NEEDS
(INCLUDING ESTIMATED VALUE).
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission submitted a continuing need letter on 06-30-2022 for a near 50% reduction in space for an estimated 48,829 rentable square feet of office and related space. To satisfy the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s mission requirements, the facility must be within a walkable distance of the public transportation and food establishments. The agency must also control the space above and below their special use, secured space.
The succeeding requirement is for 48,269 ABOA/ 54,303 RSF of space for a 15-year term to commence on 12-01-
2024. The estimated cost of this lease is per rentable square feet per year for an annual cost of
$1,459,614.08 and a total contract value of $21,117,282.70. The delineated area is Downtown, Atlanta.
There is no vacant Federal Space available.
3. IDENTIFICATION OF STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN
COMPETITION.
41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1): Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This statutory authority is implemented through GSAR 570.402. In accordance with GSAR 570.402, use of the sole source authority is appropriate where it is determined that award to any other offeror would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that are not expected to be recovered through competition.
4. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF
THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED.
It is in the best interest of the Government to remain at the current location. Award to other than the current Lessor would require relocation of the entire requirement and would cause the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to incur move and replication costs that would not be recovered through competition. Relocation costs are estimated to be an additional $24,134.50 more for a building-to-building move as opposed to a redesign of their existing space to allow for a 50% reduction in square footage. The cost of relocating the Nuclear Regulatory Commission using the lowest cost alternative exceeds the cost of remaining at the current PBS leased location by a total of $13,786,448.41 in rent
