About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) document from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for a superseding lease at the LaSalle Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Peru, IL. The VA currently leases 9,600 ABOA/RSF of clinic space at 4461 N. Progress Blvd under lease number 36C252-23-L-0107 expiring 09/26/2043, and is seeking to expand the space to 15,000 ABOA/RSF for a 20-year term commencing 09/27/2024.

The justification cites that no other suitable properties were identified through market research within the delineated boundaries (Interstate 8, Route 351, North 28th Road, and County Road 3573). Market research conducted on 07/05/2024 using CoStar and a sources sought notice on SAM.gov found zero potential acceptable locations besides the incumbent property. The VA Lease Contracting Officer determined the incumbent lessor's performance has been satisfactory and the proposed rental rate is fair and reasonable compared to market rates averaging $36.11 per RSF in the area. The document was approved by all required officials, with final approval from the VA HCA for Leasing on August 28, 2024.
