Expressions of Interest Sought

The United States Government currently occupies office and related space in a building under lease in Hamilton, Hamilton County, Texas, that will be expiring. The Government is seeking to lease approximately 3,363 net rentable square feet of contiguous, first class, high quality office space in Hamilton, Hamilton County, Texas.  The rentable space shall yield a minimum of 3,050 contiguous ANSI/BOMA Office Area (ABOA) square feet to a maximum of 3,202 ANSI/BOMA Office Area square feet of contiguous, first class, high quality office space. The lease term requirement is for five (5) years with one five-year renewal option. To be considered, the office location must be within the boundaries of: McCaleb Lane to the North; Baker Street to the South; Cheyenne Mesa to the East; and Cage Street to the West in Hamilton, Hamilton County, Texas. Preference will be given to first floor space. Occupancy is required by September 1, 2010.

The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. The Government will use the information it receives in response to this advertisement as basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis and 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 Government's requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.
