Expressions of Interest Sought Succeeding Lease - Broadwater County, Montana

The United States Government currently occupies office and related space in a facility under lease in Townsend, Montana that will be expiring.  The Government is seeking to lease approximately 10,156 rentable square feet of office and warehouse space.  The rentable space must yield a minimum of 9,298 contiguous ANSI/BOMA Office area square feet (OASF).  The lease term requirement is 10 years.  The space must be available for occupancy on or before 10/01/2014.

Other applicable requirements include:
17 on site secured parking spaces
45 on site unsecured parking spaces

The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous.  The Government will use the information it recieves 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 Government's 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.
