SPACE REQUIREMENTS

A. All space must be contiguous, and preferably on the 2nd floor or higher. Space on the first floor
will be considered only when no other space is available, or if deemed appropriate by Tenant.
First-floor spaces require additional security measures.
B. If the exterior skin of the building is not of substantial construction as determined by Tenant
Security (e.g., concrete, filled CMU) and does not meet Tenant’s forced entry protection
requirements, interior assembly of perimeter walls must be constructed in accordance with Wall
Type A7 specifications.
C. All exterior perimeter windows must have fragment retention film, except at SCIF Rooms, which
must have film rated for RF/IR shielding and blast film.
D. All perimeter windows less than 18’-0” from grade or accessible platform (e.g., air conditioners,
fire stairs, adjacent roofs, ledges, or windows) must have forced entry protection such as
manbars or security screening. Assessment of accessible platform(s) will be determined by
Tenant Security.
E. Design of workstation must ensure computer monitors do not face exterior windows.
F. Roofs less than 18’-0” from grade or accessible platform must meet the same forced entry
protection and sound attenuation requirements as the building’s perimeter walls. Metal roofs
less than 18’-0” from grade or accessible platform must be 18-gauge or greater to meet the
same forced entry protection and sound attenuation requirements as perimeter walls.
G. Metal structure buildings that will have an “Open Storage Secure” security posture must have
the secured perimeter constructed to meet forced entry protection requirements, Wall Type A7,
or approved equivalent by Tenant and CO.
H. If the space and/or building are of wood joist construction or in an historical building, additional
security measures will be required and must be approved by Tenant Security.I. Skylights must be removed or secured against forced entry, blast, and visual observation.

Tenant space must be constructed slab-to-slab in accordance with the diagram for Wall Type
A7. All conduits, backboxes, and electrical devices on Tenant demising wall must be surface
mounted on the secure side. Surface mounting is not required if non-secured side of Wall Type
A7 is available for inspection by Tenant.
K. No telephone lines, data lines, electrical service, plumbing service, or ducts other than that
required for Tenant are permitted to pass through the space, except with specific approval from
Tenant and CO or when routed through building space (such as electrical or telephone closets
dedicated to that use). All wiring, conduits, and pipes running through the space and not
serving Tenant’s needs must be removed and/or rerouted. If wiring, conduits, and pipes must
not be removed and/or rerouted, they must be enclosed with a construction assembly compliant
to secure wall requirements.

L. Future ceiling, floor slab, or demising wall penetrations through Tenant’s secured perimeter will
not be permitted.
M. If floor slab does not extend to the skin of the building, additional security measures will be
required to meet forced entry protection, Tenant Security sound attenuation requirements, and
RF requirements.
N. The space will be provided with file safes weighing between 850 lbs and 1,000 lbs each.
Although safes will be dispersed throughout the office, floor load of the proposed site must be
capable of supporting this additional weight. The quantity and location of safes may change
over the course of the lease. The Lessor shall provide the Tenant with a floor plan showing
locations where the safes can be located.
O. Tenant’s regular business hours are 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM; however, 24-hour access to the
space and any provided elevator service must be available 365 days per year.

     areas, gas stations, chemical manufacturing facilities, and railroad lines transporting
     hazardous material).

care centers, senior centers, schools, hospitals, and religious/rehabilitation/social service
centers).
B. Proposed facility must not be located within 400’-0” of public defenders, ICE, probation offices,
IRS, universities, other businesses, or facilities, deemed unacceptable by Tenant Security for

line or nearest point accessible by a vehicle to the façade of the building to house the Tenant
office.

with FSL III, IV, or V ratings. A standalone or mixed-tenant facility with uncontrolled
underground or under-building parking should not be considered for a facility with an FSL I or II.
B. A mixed-tenant facility with public parking withing 30 feet of the interior perimeter wall must not
be considered for a facility with an FSL III, IV, or V rating. A mixed-tenant facility with public

C. A stand-alone facility with public parking within 100 feet of the facility must not be considered
for a facility with an FSL III, IV, or V rating. This requirement may be waived by Tenant Security
