• 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.
• 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.
• 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, as specified
within the POR.
• 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 man bars or security screening.
Assessment of accessible platform(s) will be determined
by Tenant Security.
• Design of workstation must ensure computer monitors
do not face exterior windows.
• Roofs less than 18’-0” from grade or accessible

11/2022
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Skylights must be removed or secured against forced
entry, blast, and visual observation.
• Where Tenant space adjoins another building, tenant,
or public areas, perimeter walls of 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.
• 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.
• Future ceiling, floor slab, or demising wall penetrations
through Tenant’s secured perimeter will not be
permitted.
• 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.
• The office 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. Tenant will provide Lessor and
Lessor’s team with quantity and approximate location of
safes.
• 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.
• One (1) elevator must be provided with override

11/2022
control. If the office is located on the 6th floor or above,
elevator must be on emergency power.
• Proposed site must not be within 640’-0” of any
facilities identified by ISC as “hazardous materials
transportation/ storage facilities.”
• Hazardous locations include facilities with potential
environmental threats (e.g., fuel storage areas, gas
stations, chemical manufacturing facilities, and railroad
lines transporting hazardous material).
• Special consideration should be given to exclude sites
located near hazardous areas, such as bulk storage
sites (e.g., hazardous materials storage sites, water
purification centers, above-ground fuel storage, and rail
yards).
• It is preferred that the proposed facility not be located
near “Low Risk Facilities” (e.g., day care centers, senior
centers, schools, hospitals, and
religious/rehabilitation/social service centers).
• 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 safety purposes.
This requirement may be waived by Tenant Security if
no other facility is deemed acceptable. In those cases,
enhanced security requirements may be necessary.
• Proposed Tenant spaces or facilities within 400’-0,” or
adjacent to facilities associated with foreign powers
identified in Tenant's National Security Threat List, will
not be considered.
• For proposals of space in existing buildings, standoff
distance must be provided from the curb line or nearest
point accessible by a vehicle to the façade of the
building to house the Tenant office. Refer to Appendix 3
of this POR.
• Crawl space below or attic areas above the space
proposed for Tenant’s occupancy is not preferred, and
will require additional security measures.
