A.

Offerors who are not included in the competitive range will be notified in writing.

B. If after completion of the Price Evaluation, award is proposed to a non-small business Offeror, and there exists as part of the procurement another technically acceptable proposal submitted by a responsible Offeror that is a qualified HUBZone small business concern (SBC) which has not waived its entitlement to a price evaluation preference, the evaluated price of the non-small business Offeror's proposal shall be increased by ten (10) percent, solely for the purpose of determining whether award should be made to the HUBZone SBC Offeror. In such a case, the proposals of the apparently successful non-small business Offeror and the HUBZone SBC Offeror shall be considered in light of the applied price preference, and award made to the lower priced offer. The LCO shall document his/her application of the price preference and further consideration of the offers under this subparagraph.

3.08 HUBZONE SMALL BUSINESS CONCERN ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS (SMALL) (SEP 2015)

SECTION 1 GENERAL TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND STANDARDS

1.01 DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL TERMS (SMALL) (OCT 2022)

Unless otherwise specifically noted, all terms and conditions set forth in this Lease shall be interpreted by reference to the following definitions, standards, and formulas:

A. Common Area Factor (CAF). The Common Area Factor (CAF) is a conversion factor determined by the Building owner and applied by the owner to the ABOA SF to determine the RSF for the leased Space. The CAF is expressed as a percentage of the difference between the amount of rentable SF and ABOA SF, divided by the ABOA SF. For example 11,500 RSF and 10,000 ABOA SF will have a CAF of 15% [(11,500 RSF-10,000 ABOA SF)/10,000 ABOA SF]. For the purposes of this Lease, the CAF shall be determined in accordance with the applicable ANSI/BOMA standard for the type of space to which the CAF shall apply.

B. Rentable Space or Rentable Square Feet (RSF). Rentable Space is the area for which a tenant is charged rent. It is determined by the Building owner and may vary by city or by building within the same city. The Rentable Space may include a share of Building support/common areas such as elevator lobbies, Building corridors, and floor service areas. Floor service areas typically include restrooms, janitor rooms, telephone closets, electrical closets, and mechanical rooms. The Rentable Space does not include vertical building penetrations and their enclosing walls, such as stairs, elevator shafts, and vertical ducts. Rentable Square Feet is calculated using the following formula for each type of Space (e.g., office, warehouse, etc.) included in the Premises: ABOA SF of Space x (1 + CAF) = RSF.

C. Space. The Space shall refer to that part of the Premises to which the Government has exclusive use, such as Occupant Area, or other type of Space. Parking areas to which the Government has rights under this Lease are not included in the Space.

D. Occupant Area. For the purposes of this Lease, Space shall be measured in accordance with the standard (Z65.1-2017) provided by American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managers Association (ANSI/BOMA) for Occupant Area, which means “the total aggregated area used by an Occupant before Load Factors are applied, consisting of Tenant Area and Tenant Ancillary Area.” The Method A – Multiple Load Factor Method shall apply. References to ABOA mean ANSI/BOMA Occupant Area.

1.02 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (SMALL) (SEP 2015)

Public transportation (for example commuter rail, light rail, buses, or subway station) shall be located within the immediate vicinity of the Building, but generally not exceeding XX, as determined by the LCO.

1.03 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES (OCT 2016)

Signatories to this Lease shall have full authority to bind their respective principals with regard to all matters relating to this Lease. No other persons shall be understood to have any authority to bind their respective principals except to the extent that such authority may be explicitly delegated by notice to the other party, or to the extent that such authority is transferred by succession of interest. The Government shall have the right to substitute its Lease Contracting Officer (LCO) by notice without an express delegation by the prior LCO.

If the Lessor is a HUBZone small business concern (SBC) that did not waive the price evaluation preference, the Lessor shall provide a certification within 10 days after Lease award to the LCO (or representative designated by the LCO) that the Lessor was an eligible HUBZone SBC on the date of award. If it is determined within 20 days after award that a HUBZone SBC Offeror that has been awarded the Lease was not an eligible HUBZone SBC at the time of award, and the HUBZone SBC Lessor failed to provide the LCO with information regarding a change to its HUBZone eligibility prior to award, then the Lease shall be subject, at the LCO's discretion, to termination, and the Government will be relieved of all obligations to the Lessor in such an event and not be liable to the Lessor for any costs, claims, or damages of any nature whatsoever.

1.05 WAIVER OF RESTORATION (OCT 2021)

Lessor shall have no right to require the Government to restore the Premises upon expiration or earlier termination (full or partial) of the Lease, and waives all claims against the Government for:

2. Any initial or subsequent alteration to the Premises regardless of whether such alterations are performed by the Lessor or by the Government.

At its sole option, the Government may abandon property in the Space following expiration or earlier termination (full or partial) of the Lease, in which case the property will become the property of the Lessor, and the Government will be relieved of any liability in connection therewith.

The leased space shall be free of all asbestos containing materials, except undamaged asbestos flooring in the space or undamaged boiler or pipe insulation outside the space, in which case an asbestos management program conforming to Environmental Protection Agency guidance shall be implemented. The space shall be free of other hazardous materials and in compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local environmental laws and regulations. If asbestos abatement work is to be performed in the Space after occupancy, the Lessor shall provide relocation and submit to the Government documentation that the abatement was done in accordance with OSHA, EPA, DOT, state, and local regulations and guidance and that final clearance for re-occupancy was achieved.

1.08 ADJUSTMENT FOR VACANT PREMISES (SMALL) (OCT 2022)

If the Government fails to occupy any portion of the leased Premises or vacates the Premises in whole or in part prior to expiration of the term of the Lease, the operating costs paid by the Government as part of the rent rental rate shall be reduced using the “Adjustment for Vacant Premises Rate” specified on GSA Form 3626 of this Lease. This reduction shall occur after the Government gives 30 calendar days’ prior notice to the Lessor and shall continue in effect until the Lease expires or is terminated.
