1.07 AMENDMENTS TO THE RLP (JUN 2012)

This RLP may be amended by notice from the LCO. Amendments may modify the terms of this RLP, or the terms, conditions, and requirements of the Lease contemplated by the RLP.

1.08 LEASE DESCRIPTION (WAREHOUSE) (OCT 2023)

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.

3. Building Shell standards and requirements.

4. Information concerning the tenant agency's buildout requirements (“Special 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 Lease. See RLP Paragraphs 3.03 and 3.09 for further details on financial responsibility for various Operating Expenses. 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. Although certain Tenant Improvement (TI) requirements information is provided with this RLP and will be incorporated into the Lease, the TIs to be delivered by the Lessor will be based on the final design to be developed after award of the Lease, which reflects the Agency’s full requirements. The Lessor shall design and build the TIs and will be compensated for TI costs, together with design and project management fees to be set under the Lease. Although the TI requirements will not be developed fully until after award, Offerors shall provide the allowance stated in the Tenant Improvement Allowance paragraph of the Lease.

E. Unless the Government prepares Design Intent Drawings (DIDs), after award the Lessor must prepare DIDs for the leased Space conforming to the lease requirements and other Government-supplied information related to the client agency’s interior build-out 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 and a final price for TIs is negotiated 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.

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

G. 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.

RLP NO. 4PR0156, PAGE 4 GSA TEMPLATE R101WH (5/25)

H. 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 form and in the GSA 3517B, General Clauses and will be made part of the Lease.

1.09 RELATIONSHIP OF RLP BUILDING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS (OCT 2016)

The Lease establishes various requirements relating to the Building shell. Such requirements are not deemed TIs. There are certain Building requirements that are established as minimum requirements in this RLP. If the Lessor's Building does not meet the requirements at the time of award, the Lessor may still be awarded the Lease. However, as a condition of award, the Government will require Lessor to identify those Building improvements that will bring the Building into compliance with RLP requirements. Upon award of the Lease, completion of those Building improvements will become Lease obligations.

1.10 PRICING OF SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (OCT 2022)

A. The proposed Lease contains an attachment with the security requirements and obligations for the Building, which are based on the facility security level (FSL). The Federal Government determines the facility’s FSL rating, which ranges from FSL I to FSL IV. The FSL is based on client agency mix, required size of space, number of employees, use of the space, location, configuration of the site and lot, and public access into and around the facility.

B. The security requirements attached to this Lease includes a general list of countermeasures that may be installed in the leased Space as part of the Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC). The final list of security countermeasures will be determined during the design phase and identified in the design intent drawings and construction documents. After completing the construction documents, the Lessor shall submit a list of the itemized costs. Such costs shall be subject to negotiation. The Lessor shall design and build the BSAC and will be compensated for BSAC costs, together with design and project management fees to be set under the Lease.

C. There shall be no charge to the Government for any items that already exist in the offered Building or facility.

1.11 SECURITY LEVEL DETERMINATION FOR FACILITY HOUSING OTHER FEDERAL TENANTS (APR 2011)

If an Offeror is offering Space in a facility currently housing a Federal agency, the security requirements of the facility may be increased and the Offeror may be required to adhere to a higher security standard than other Offerors competing for the same space requirement. If two or more Federal space requirements are being competed at the same time, an Offeror submitting on both or more space requirements may be subject to a higher security standard if the Offeror is determined to be the successful Offeror on more than one space requirement. It is incumbent upon the Offeror to prepare the Offeror’s proposal accordingly.

1.12 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES (OCT 2020)

With respect to all matters relating to this RLP, only the Government's LCO designated below shall have the authority to amend the RLP and award a Lease. The Government shall have the right to substitute its LCO by notice, without an express delegation by the prior LCO.

1.13 BROKER COMMISSION AND COMMISSION CREDIT (OCT 2020)

A. For the purposes of this RLP, CBRE, INC (the Broker) is the authorized contractor real estate broker representing GSA. The Government expects the Lessor to pay a commission to the Broker. By submitting an offer, the Offeror agrees that if the Offeror is paying a commission or fee in connection with this Lease to a listing agent, an offering agent, or broker, property manager, developer, or any other agent or representative, then the Offeror will pay a commission to the Broker to which the Broker would ordinarily be entitled consistent with local business practices, as evidenced through a brokerage agreement between the Offeror and the Broker. The commission will be negotiated between the Offeror and the Broker and will be based on a Lease term not to exceed the Firm Term of the Lease contemplated by this RLP. Commissions will not be negotiated or collected on option periods or for Lease terms beyond the Firm Term of the Lease. As part of the offer, the Offeror shall disclose all commissions and/or fees to be paid by the Offeror including both the Offeror’s agent(s), broker(s), property manager, developer or any other mailto:dominic.vedder@gsa.gov

RLP NO. 4PR0156, PAGE 5 GSA TEMPLATE R101WH (5/25)

agent or representative and the Broker. The Offeror shall enter the commission amounts for its representative and the amount to GSA’s Broker in blocks 31a and 31b respectively on GSA Form 1217, Lessors Annual Cost Statement. An executed commission agreement reflecting this agreement shall be submitted with the initial offer.

B. Offerors are advised that there is a potential for a dual agency situation to arise under this procurement, whereby the Broker may represent both

GSA and another Offeror under this lease action. By submitting an offer, the Offeror acknowledges the potential for a dual agency situation.

Should there be an actual dual agency, the Broker will notify all Offerors of the actual dual agency and request written acknowledgement statements from all Offerors.

C. For the benefit of the Government, the Broker has agreed to forego a percentage of any commission that it is entitled to receive in connection with the contemplated Lease. This amount shall be specifically set forth at time of lease award. The resulting total dollar value of the foregone commission (the Commission Credit) shall be applied in equal monthly amounts against rental payments due and owing under the Lease. The rental amount payable shall be reduced by the Commission Credit at the commencement of the Lease, over the minimum number of months that will not exceed the monthly shell rental, until the Commission Credit has been fully recaptured. The parties agree to execute a Lease Amendment setting forth the full nature, extent, terms, and conditions of commissions paid to the Broker and the Commission Credit to be applied against the Government’s rental payment obligations under the Lease. Commissions and/or credits shall be treated as confidential financial information and Offerors will refrain from public disclosure or using the information for any other purpose than that for which it was furnished without consent of the GSA LCO.

D. For purposes of price evaluation, the Commission Credit shall be treated as a deduction from the rent in accordance with the Method of Award.

The amount of any commission paid to the Broker shall not be considered separately as part of this price evaluation since the value of the commission is included in the rental consideration.

1.14 PLANNED USE BY GOVERNMENT (WAREHOUSE) (MAY 2014)

The Government shall be entitled to use the space for any lawful purpose. However, the Government intends to initially use the space for warehouse space. Such use may involve the use of hazardous materials. The Government will agree in the Lease to use and maintain any hazardous materials in conformance with all applicable Federal, state, and local environmental regulations.

1.15 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE AND SMALL BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD (OCT 2023)

A. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 531120 (Exception).

SECTION 2 ELIGIBILITY AND PREFERENCES FOR AWARD

2.01 EFFICIENCY OF LAYOUT (WAREHOUSE) (MAY 2014)

A. In order to be acceptable for award, the offered Space must provide for an efficient layout as determined by the LCO.

B. To demonstrate potential for efficient layout, GSA may request the Offeror to provide a test fit layout at the Offeror’s expense. The Government will advise the Offeror if the test fit layout demonstrates that the Government's requirement cannot be accommodated within the Space offered.

The Offeror will have the option of increasing the ABOA square footage offered if it does not exceed the maximum ABOA square footage in this RLP offer package. If the Offeror is already providing the maximum ABOA square footage and cannot house the Government's space requirements efficiently, then the Government will advise the Offeror that the offer is unacceptable.

C. Space offered must have a minimum column spacing of 8 feet 1/2 inches, an overall minimum width of 8 feet 10 inches, and an overall minimum depth of 15 feet 6 1/2 inches.

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.

2.08 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.

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 ENERGYSTAR.GOV (use “Portfolio Manager” to apply). The ENERGY

STAR® BUILDING UPGRADE MANUAL and BUILDING UPGRADE VALUE CALCULATOR 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).

RLP NO. 4PR0156, PAGE 9 GSA TEMPLATE R101WH (5/25)

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. INTENTIONALLY DELETED

2.09 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS (SEP 2013)

A. The Government requests space with no known hazardous conditions or recognized environmental conditions that would pose a health and safety risk or environmental liability to the Government.

B. Upon request by the Government, Offeror must provide all known previous uses of the Building.

C. Offeror must indicate in its written offer any known hazardous conditions or environmental releases with/from the offered Space, Building or

Property.

2.10 DUE DILIGENCE AND NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT REQUIREMENTS - RLP (OCT 2023)

A. Environmental Due Diligence.

1. At the direction of the LCO, the Offeror must provide, at the Offeror’s sole cost and expense, a current Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), using the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E1527-13 and timeline, as such standard may be revised from time to time. In accordance with ASTM standards, the study must be performed by an environmental professional with qualifications that meet ASTM standards. This Phase I ESA must be prepared with a focus on the Government being the “user” of the Phase I, as the term “user” is defined in E1527-21. Failure to submit the required study may result in dismissal from consideration.

2. If the Phase I ESA identifies any recognized environmental conditions (RECs), the Offeror will be responsible for addressing such RECs, at its sole cost and expense, including performing any necessary Phase II ESA (using ASTM Standard E1903-11), performing any necessary cleanup actions in accordance with federal and state standards and requirements and submitting a proposed schedule for complying with these obligations. The Government will evaluate whether the nature of any of the RECs, the results of the Phase II, any completed cleanup, and the proposed schedule meet the Government’s needs.

B. National Environmental Policy Act.

1. While the Offeror is responsible for performing all environmental due diligence studies of the offered Property, the Government is responsible for compliance with NEPA, whether in whole or in part, on its own or with the assistance of the Offerors. NEPA requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their actions on the quality of the human environment as part of the federal decision-making process and, to that end, the Government’s obligations may, and in some cases will, be augmented by the Offerors as described in greater detail in the RLP.

2. The Government may either request information from the Offerors to help it meet its obligations under NEPA or share information provided in response to this provision with federal, state, and local regulatory agencies as part of its compliance responsibilities under NEPA and other applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and…
