vehicles 24 hours a day/7 days a week, as well as adequate parking within 4 blocks for employee and

(i.e. book stores, video stores, or theatres), night clubs/bars, methadone clinics, drug 
rehabilitation centers, marijuana/hemp dispensaries, medical marijuana dispensaries, gun shops, 
liquor stores, etc. could potentially be eliminated from competition as these are considered 
non-compatible businesses.  Lessors are required to be registered and active in www.sam.gov prior 
to the deadline for final offer submission.

Offers will need to include a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of registration in 
www.sam.gov (i.e. active CAGE code), a proposed floor plan and the construction bids for build-out 
meeting the construction specifications. Attached is a copy of the lease document, the general

template.  Thoroughly review all documents and make sure that you agree to the terms presented. The 
government lease and the general conditions are standard and are for the most part is not 
negotiable and must be accepted as written and shown on the attached file.
Review the construction specifications completely as they stipulate additional lessor 
responsibilities.

Three (3) construction bids for the build-out are requested. After a bid is accepted, no change 
orders are authorized, so bids need to be accurate and complete (including all taxes and fees). 
Special attention should be given to security requirements (video entry control system, closed 
circuit television system and video recording, dual roller shades on exterior windows, fixed panel 
shade on exterior entry door and peep hole in secondary exit, perforated window wrap), 
fragmentation film on exterior windows/glass doors, telecommunication wiring requirements, addition

not require the item (i.e. smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, etc.). Bids shall include any tear 
down/haul away expenses.
The attached floor plan is to be used as a generalized idea and reference tool for close proximity 
of amount of useable space this location will require for build out in both office space and common 
area space. Submitted floor plans must meet the space requirements as designated on attached 
example.
It is mandatory that janitorial services be included in the lease (lessor responsible for 
contracting these services). Be sure to review the attached janitorial guidance and ensure the 
costs of these services are included on the rental proposal worksheet.

Leases are negotiated for a 5 year term but they include a clause stating the Government can 
terminate giving reasonable days’ notice. In order to incorporate firm term years, meaning the 
Government cannot get out of the lease for a specified period of time, we ask the lessor to provide 
a significant contribution towards the build-out costs. Five year firm term leases are generally 
not considered.

Following are the factors that will be considered when evaluating bids/offers:

1. Location
2. Ability to meet all construction specifications, security measures and lease requirements
3. Complete initial and final offers must be received by defined deadline
4. Competitive costs in the best interest of the government
