A. This Request for Lease Proposals (RLP) sets forth instructions and requirements for proposals for a Lease described in the RLP documents.

The Government will evaluate proposals conforming to the RLP requirements in accordance with the Method of Award set forth below to select an Offeror for award. The Government will award the Lease to the selected Offeror, subject to the conditions below.

B. Included in the RLP documents is a lease template setting forth the lease term and other terms and conditions of the Lease contemplated by this RLP and a GSA Proposal to Lease Space (GSA Form 1364) on which Offeror shall submit its offered rent and other price data, together with required information and submissions. The Lease paragraph titled “Definitions and General Terms” shall apply to the terms of this RLP.

C. Do not attempt to complete the lease template. GSA will transcribe the successful Offeror’s final offered rent and other price data included on the GSA Form 1364 into the lease and transmit the completed Lease, including any appropriate attachments, to the successful Offeror for execution. Neither the RLP nor any other part of an Offeror’s proposal shall be part of the Lease except to the extent expressly incorporated therein. The Offeror should review the completed Lease for accuracy and consistency with his or her proposal, sign and date the first page, initial each subsequent page of the Lease, and return it to the Lease Contracting Officer (LCO).

D. The Offeror's executed Lease shall constitute a firm offer. No Lease shall be formed until the LCO executes the Lease and delivers a signed copy to the Offeror.

E. Offeror may not use Federal agency name(s) and/or acronym(s), e.g., General Services Administration, GSA, in the entity name that owns and/or leases the Space to GSA.

1.05 LEASE DESCRIPTION (SLAT) (MAY 2025)

A. Offeror shall examine the Lease template included in the RLP documents to understand the Government's and the Lessor's respective rights and responsibilities under the contemplated Lease.

B. The Lease contemplated by this RLP includes:

1. The term of the Lease, and renewal option, if any.

2. Terms and Conditions of the Lease, including Definitions, Standards, and Formulas applicable to the Lease and this RLP.

RLP NO. 3LA0267, PAGE 3 GSA TEMPLATE R100A (4/25)

3. Building Shell standards and requirements.

4. Information concerning the tenant agency's buildout requirements, to be supplemented after award.

5. Security Requirements.

6. A description of all services to be provided by the Lessor.

C. Should the Offeror be awarded the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall be binding upon the Lessor without regard to any statements contained in this RLP.

D. The Lease contemplated by this RLP is a fully serviced, turnkey Lease with rent that covers all Lessor costs, including all shell upgrades, TIs, operating costs, real estate taxes, and security upgrades. Rent shall be based upon a proposed rental rate per Rentable Square Foot (RSF), limited by the offered rate and the maximum ABOA SF solicited under this RLP. The Tenant Improvements to be delivered by the Lessor shall be based upon information provided with this RLP and Lease, including Agency Specific Requirements (ASR). The Lessor shall design and build the TIs and will be compensated for the TI costs based upon turnkey pricing established under the Lease.

After award, the Lessor must prepare Design Intent Drawings (DIDs) for the leased Space conforming to the Agency Specific Requirements.

The Government will have the opportunity to review the Lessor's DIDs to determine that the Lessor's design meets the requirements of the Lease. Only after the Government approves the DIDs will the Lessor be released to proceed with buildout. The Lease also provides that the Government may modify the TI requirements, subject to the Lessor's right to receive compensation for such changes.

E. The security pricing process is described in a separate paragraph.

F. Upon completion and acceptance of the leased Space, the Space will be measured for establishing the actual annual rent, and the lease term shall commence. In instances involving an incumbent Lessor where the Government commences the lease term pending completion of TI and/or BSAC alterations, the Government shall withhold TI and/or BSAC rent pursuant to Section 1 of the Lease until such time as the TI and/or BSAC is completed and accepted by the Government. During the term of the Lease, rent will be adjusted for changes to the Lessor's operating costs and real estate taxes, pursuant to paragraphs set forth in the Lease.

G. Offerors are advised that doing business with the Government carries special responsibilities with respect to sustainability, fire protection and life safety, and security, as well as other requirements not typically found in private commercial leases. These are set forth both in the lease template and in the GSA 3517A, Solicitation Provisions, and will be made part of the Lease.

SECTION 2 ELIGIBILITY AND PREFERENCES FOR AWARD

2.01 EFFICIENCY OF LAYOUT (SLAT) (OCT 2020)

In order to be acceptable for award, the offered Space must provide for an efficient layout as determined by the LCO. To demonstrate potential for efficient layout, GSA may request the Offeror to provide a test fit layout at the Offeror’s expense.

2.02 FLOOD PLAINS (OCT 2022)

A Lease will not be awarded for any offered Property located within a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain (formerly referred to as 100-year floodplain) unless the Government has determined that there is no practicable alternative. An Offeror may offer less than its entire site in order to exclude a portion of the site that falls within a floodplain, so long as the portion offered meets all the requirements of this RLP and does not impact the Government’s full use and enjoyment of the Premises. If an Offeror intends that the offered Property that will become the Premises for purposes of this Lease will be something other than the entire site as recorded in tax or other property records the Offeror shall clearly demarcate the offered Property on its site plan/map submissions and shall propose an adjustment to property taxes on an appropriate pro rata basis. For such an offer, the Government may determine that the offered Property does not adequately avoid development in a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain.

In addition, a Lease will not be awarded for any offered Property adjacent to a 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain, where such an adjacency would, as determined by the Government, restrict ingress or egress to the Premises in the event of a flood, unless there is no practicable alternative.

2.03 SEISMIC SAFETY – MODERATE SEISMICITY (MAY 2025) INTENTIONALLY DELETED

2.04 SEISMIC SAFETY – HIGH SEISMICITY (MAY 2025) INTENTIONALLY DELETED

2.05 ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND SECURITY ACT (MAY 2025)

A. The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) establishes requirements for Government leases relating to energy efficiency standards and potential cost-effective energy efficiency and conservation improvements.

B. Subject to the exceptions below, unless one of the statutory exceptions listed in sub-paragraph C below applies, GSA may award a lease for a Building only if the Building has earned the ENERGY STAR® label conferred by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) within the most recent year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions. The term “most recent year” means that the date of award of the ENERGY STAR® label by EPA must not be more than 1 year prior to the due date of final proposal revisions. For example, an ENERGY STAR® label awarded by EPA on October 1, 2023, is valid for all lease procurements where final proposal revisions are due on or before September 30, 2024. Notwithstanding the above, buildings that meet any of the following are considered as equivalent to having an Energy Star label in the most recent year, provided they achieve an ENERGY STAR® label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government:

1. All new Buildings being specifically constructed for the Government, provided they achieve an ENERGY STAR® label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government, and received the “Designed to Earn the Energy Star®” certification prior to construction;

2. All existing Buildings that have had an Energy Star® label but are unable to obtain a label in the most recent year (i.e., within 12 months prior to the due date for final proposal revisions) because of insufficient occupancy;

3. Newly built Buildings that have used Energy® Star’s Target Finder tool and either achieved a “Designed to Earn the Energy Star®” certification or received an unofficial score (in strict adherence to Target Finder’s usage instructions, including the use of required energy modeling) of 75 or higher prior to the due date for final proposal revisions and who are unable to obtain a label in the most recent year because of insufficient occupancy; or

4. An existing Building that is unable to obtain a label because of insufficient occupancy but that can produce an indication, through the use of energy modeling or past utility and occupancy data input into Energy Star’s® Portfolio Manager tool or Target Finder, that it can receive an unofficial score of 75 or higher using all other requirements of Target Finder or Portfolio Manager, except for actual data from the most recent year.

C. Subject to subparagraph D below, EISA allows a Federal agency to lease Space in a Building that does not have an ENERGY STAR®

Label if:

1. No Space is offered in a Building with an ENERGY STAR® Label that meets RLP requirements, including locational needs;

2. The agency will remain in a Building it currently occupies;

3. The Lease will be in a Building of historical, architectural, or cultural significance listed or eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places; or

4. The Lease is for 10,000 RSF or less.

RLP NO. 3LA0267, PAGE 6 GSA TEMPLATE R100A (4/25)

D. If one or more of the statutory exceptions applies, and the offered Space is not in a Building that has earned the ENERGY STAR® Label within one year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions, Offerors are required to include in their lease proposal an agreement to renovate the Building for all energy efficiency and conservation improvements that it has determined would be cost effective over the Firm Term of the Lease, if any, prior to acceptance of the Space (or not later than one year after the Lease Award Date of a succeeding or superseding lease). Such improvements may consist of, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) upgrades, including boilers, chillers, and Building Automation System (BAS)

/Monitoring/Control System (EMCS).

2. Lighting Improvements.

3. Building Envelope Modifications.

E. The term "cost effective" means an improvement that will result in substantial operational cost savings to the landlord by reducing electricity or fossil fuel consumption, water, or other utility costs. The term "operational cost savings" means a reduction in operational costs to the landlord through the application of Building improvements that achieve cost savings over the Firm Term of the Lease sufficient to pay the incremental additional costs of making the Building improvements.

F. Instructions for obtaining an ENERGY STAR® Label are provided at HTTP://WWW.ENERGYSTAR.GOV/BUILDINGS/FACILITY-

OWNERS-AND-MANAGERS/EXISTING-BUILDINGS/ (use “Portfolio Manager” to apply). The ENERGY STAR® Building Upgrade Manual HTTPS://WWW.ENERGYSTAR.GOV/BUILDINGS/TOOLS-AND-RESOURCES/) and Building Upgrade Value Calculator (HTTP://WWW.ENERGYSTAR.GOV/BUILDINGS/TOOLS-AND-RESOURCES/) are tools which can be useful in considering energy efficiency and conservation improvements to Buildings.

G. If one or more of the statutory exceptions applies, and the offered Space is not in a Building that has earned the ENERGY STAR® Label within one year prior to the due date for final proposal revisions, the successful Offeror will be excused from performing any agreed-to energy efficiency and conservation renovations, and benchmarking with public disclosure (as provided in (I) below, if it obtains the ENERGY STAR® Label prior to the Government’s acceptance of the Space (or not later than one year after the Lease Award Date for succeeding and superseding leases).

H. If no improvements are proposed, the Offeror must demonstrate to the Government using the ENERGY STAR® Online Tools why no energy efficiency and conservation improvements are cost effective. If such explanation is unreasonable, the offer may be rejected.

I. As described in Section 3 of the Lease, successful Offerors meeting one of the statutory exceptions above must agree to benchmark and publicly disclose the Building’s current ENERGY STAR® score, using EPA’s Portfolio Manager online software application. See the Lease for additional details.

J. All new Buildings being specifically constructed for the Government must achieve the ENERGY STAR® Label within 18 months after occupancy by the Government.

K. As part of the cost effective upgrades specified under sub-paragraph D above, existing lighting systems must be upgraded to meet or exceed the stated lighting specifications in the Lease unless, with respect to upgrades otherwise in excess of the minimum stated requirements, Offeror can demonstrate, using the Building Upgrade Value Calculator discussed above, that such additional upgrades are not cost effective over the Firm Term of the Lease.

SECTION 3 HOW TO OFFER

3.01 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS (SLAT) (OCT 2020)

Offeror shall prepare a complete offer, using the forms provided with this RLP, and submit the completed lease proposal package to the Government as indicated below. The Government will evaluate the offers received as outlined below and further described in this section.

Step 1: Offer Submittal Offeror shall submit an offer using the instructions in paragraph 3.02 Receipt of Lease Proposals (SLAT) and 3.03 Step 1: Offer Submittal (SLAT).

The LCO will evaluate the offers that are received by the due date identified for submission of offers in this RLP. The LCO may elect to proceed based on initial offers or to conduct negotiations in accordance with paragraph 4.01 Negotiations (SLAT). The Offeror whose offer is identified as the apparent lowest priced offer and is otherwise responsive to the terms identified in the solicitation will proceed to step 2. Proceeding to step 2 does not constitute award of a contract.

Step 2: Due Diligence The Offeror with the apparent lowest priced offer shall be notified by the LCO and requested to submit the information requested in paragraph 3.04 Step 2: Due Diligence - Additional Submittals (SLAT), in addition to signing the Lease form which will be completed with the details of the Offeror’s price submittal. No further discussions will occur between the Government and the apparent lowest priced offeror regarding the Additional Submittals.

Should the Offeror submitting the apparent lowest priced offer fail to complete any of the requirements of the solicitation or, upon further review be found to not meet the requirements of the solicitation during any part of the evaluation process, the LCO will consider other offers received in response to the solicitation.

Building Tour As part of the Government’s due diligence review of the offer, the LCO may notify the Offeror of the date and time for the Government to physically tour the building.

Award Upon completion of the Government’s review of the apparent lowest priced offer’s Due Diligence – Additional Submittals and a determination that the offer meets the requirements of the solicitation, the LCO will counter-sign the Lease document and furnish notification of execution to the Offeror. This execution and notification by the LCO shall constitute award of a contract.

3.02 RECEIPT OF LEASE PROPOSALS (SLAT) (OCT 2024)

Online method - Submission through the Requirement Specific Acquisition Platform (RSAP):

A. Unless otherwise authorized by the LCO or his/her designated representative, offers may only be submitted electronically to GSA using the Requirement Specific Acquisition Platform (RSAP) located at https://leasing.gsa.gov. RSAP enables Offerors to electronically offer space for lease to the Federal Government. The offer submission process is web-enabled, allowing all registered participants to submit and update offers to lease space to the Government in response to a single RLP for a specific space requirement.

B. In order to be considered for award, offers conforming to the requirements of the RLP shall be submitted through LOP/RSAP no later than

28 January 2026, 5:00 pm, CST.

C. Offerors must submit all documentation identified in this RLP using RSAP. RSAP generates the Lessor's Annual Cost Statement (GSA

Form 1217) and Proposal to Lease Space (GSA Form 1364) based on the Offeror’s inputs to the online workflow. These auto-populated forms are available for review on the attachments page of the RSAP workflow and are automatically included as part of the offer upon submission; there is no need for the Offeror to manually complete the attached blank version of these two forms. Offerors can revise the auto-generated GSA Form 1217 and/or GSA Form 1364 by changing the inputs to the online workflow. Any subsequent revisions to offer documents must be submitted through RSAP. There is no paper-based submission process under this RLP and paper submissions will not be considered, unless otherwise authorized by the LCO.

3.03 STEP 1: OFFER SUBMITTAL (SLAT) (OCT 2023)

Offeror shall provide the following information:

A. Price Offer

1. GSA Form 1217, Lessor’s Annual Cost Statement. Complete all sections of the 1217.

2. GSA Form 1364, Proposal to Lease Space. Complete all sections of the 1364, including, but not limited to:

a. A fully serviced Lease rate (gross rate) per ABOA and RSF, clearly itemizing the total Building shell rental, TI rate, Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC) rate, operating costs, and parking (itemizing all costs of parking above base local code requirements or otherwise already included in shell rent).

RLP NO. 3LA0267, PAGE 8 GSA TEMPLATE R100A (4/25)

b. Improvements. All improvements in the base Building, lobbies, common areas, and core areas shall be provided by the

Lessor, at the Lessor’s expense. This Building shell rental rate shall also include, but is not limited to, property financing (exclusive of TIs and BSAC), insurance, taxes, management, profit, etc., for the Building. The Building shell rental rate shall also include all basic Building systems and common area buildout, including base Building lobbies, common areas, core areas, etc., exclusive of the ABOA Space offered as required in this RLP.

c. The annual cost per ABOA and rentable square foot (RSF) for the cost of services and utilities for ABOA and RSF, respectively. This equals line 27 of GSA Form 1217, Lessor’s Annual Cost Statement, divided by the Building size (shown on the top of both GSA Form 1364, Proposal to Lease Space, and Form 1217) for ABOA and RSF, respectively.

d. The annual rent to amortize the Tenant Improvements. Such amortization shall be expressed as a cost per ABOA and RSF per year. This shall be all alterations for the Space above the Building shell and BSAC build-out. Such alterations shall be described and identified in the drawings used to construct the Space. If the Offeror chooses to amortize the TI for a period exceeding the Firm Term of the Lease, the Offeror shall indicate the extended time in the offer. If the Government terminates the Lease after the Firm Term or does not otherwise renew or extend the term beyond the Firm Term, the Government shall not be liable for any unamortized TI costs resulting from an extended amortization period.

e. The annual rent to amortize the Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC) costs, if any. Such amortization shall be expressed as a rate per ABOA and RSF per year. Refer to the security requirements attached to the Lease.

f. A shell rate per ABOA and RSF for that portion of the lease term extending beyond the Firm Term. The rate proposed for this portion of the term shall not reflect any TIs or BSAC as they will have been fully amortized over the Firm Term.

g. Overtime use of heating and cooling, and, if applicable, Adjustment for Reduced Services. NOTE: Refer to the Lease document for additional guidance.

h. Adjustment for Vacant Leased Premises. NOTE: Refer to the Lease document for additional guidance.

i. Rent concessions being offered. Indicate either on the GSA Form 1364 Proposal to Lease Space or in separate correspondence.

j. If the Offeror requests any deviations, all deviations must be documented on Form 1364 in block labeled “Additional

Remarks or Conditions with Respect to this Offer.” If the Offeror requests any deviations, GSA at its sole discretion will make the decision whether to accept the deviation.

3. Security Unit Price List. The Offeror shall use the Security Unit Price list to provide a cost breakdown of the security countermeasures, which were outlined in the security requirements attachment. The Security Unit Price list includes various improvements and services to be provided by the Lessor. Each item is classified as part of the shell, tenant improvements, or BSAC. There shall be no charge to the Government for any items that already exist in the offered Building or facility.

4. TI Unit Price List

B. Initial Documentation. As part of the Step 1 offer submission process, Offerors must submit the following:
