Expression of Interest Sought for New Lease in Dane County, WI

REQUIREMENT: The United States Government Farm Service Agency currently occupies office and related space in a building under lease in Dane County, WI located at 1 Fen Oak Court, Room 226, Madison, Wisconsin, that will be expiring. The Government is seeking to lease approximately 3,374 contiguous rentable square feet of office and related space. The rentable space must yield a minimum of 3,213 contiguous ANSI/BOMA Office area square feet. The lease term requirement is for 10 years. The space must be available for occupancy by June 1, 2010. First floor space is preferred.



DELINEATED AREA: The delineated area is North bound by E Buckeye Road, to the East bound by Interstate 39/90, to the South bound by Highways 12 & 18, and to the West bound by State Highway 51.



Other applicable requirements include:

Parking: 27 on-site paved parking spaces in a lot under Lessors control.

Others.



The Government will consider alternative space if economically advantageous. The Government will use the information it receives in response to this advertisement as a basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether to compete the lease requirement or pursue a sole source justification to remain at its current location. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate space that potentially can satisfy the Governments requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.
