Expressions of Interest Sought in Portland, ME

Requirement:



The United States Government currently occupies office and related space in a building under lease in Portland, ME, that will be expiring. The Government is seeking to lease approximately 12,078 contiguous rentable square feet of office and related space. The rentable space must yield approximately 10,503 contiguous ANSI/BOMA Office area square feet (OASF). The lease term requirement is for 10 years, 7 years firm. The space must be available for occupancy by October 1st, 2010. The delineated area is within the city limits of Portland, ME.



The Government is considering 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 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 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. If the Government remains at the current leased location, the minimum requirement will be 9,318 OASF.



Special Requirements:



If space is not available on the first floor then space shall be served by a minimum of two elevator cabs

The proposed site must also be able to offer one parking space on-site and be proximate to a mode of public transportation.
