is not located in a flood zone and there is no available vacant federal space inventory for this requirement.

GSA’s internet market research for one hundred (100) surface parking space alternatives in the Chelsea District of the borough of Manhattan, New York, NY generated no alternatives at the existing rent of per parking space per month.

The total estimated contract value of this lease term extension is calculated as follows:

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

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 one hundred (100) surface parking spaces and would cause an undue disruption of their law enforcement mission. The term will be structured as three (3) months/one month firm to allow the maximum flexibility to move to under new lease GS-02P-LNY00659, as soon as the COVID 19 delay is corrected. A cost-benefit analysis is not applicable to a parking lease extension, because parking spaces are not analyzed on an ANSI/BOMA or rentable square foot basis and there are no tenant improvement requirements. Total costs are analyzed on a cost per parking space on an annual and/or monthly basis.

5. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS

MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE.

The United States General Services (GSA), Region 2, Public Building Services (PBS), Realty Specialist conducted independent internet market research on September 11, 2020.

6. DEMONSTRATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO

THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE.

The GSA Realty Specialist’s market research from September 11, 2020 showed monthly structured parking space rental rates in the New York City, NY’s borough of Manhattan’s Chelsea District ranging from per month per structured parking space.

Therefore, the proposed rental rate for this 3 month surface parking lease extension of per surface parking space per month is below the current market range and is deemed fair and reasonable.

7. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND THE RESULTS.

On September 11, 2020, The United States General Services (GSA), Region 2, Public Building Services (PBS), Realty Specialist’s independent market research identified four (4) potentially acceptable locations (four (4) plus the incumbent) that might meet the agency’s requirements within the delineated area.
