AGENCY UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS

1. Offered space must be contiguous and located on one (1) floor.
2. If the offered space is a full floor and located above ground level, the agency requires lock-out capabilities, limiting access to the floor to agency employees only. Where a private elevator or stairwell is not possible to the offered space, the Government must have the capability of locking out the elevator. Required documentation proving this requirement can be met, must be submitted with offer.
3. Additional floor loading may be required for approximately 500 ABOA SF (contiguous) to support condense filing. Offered space must be capable of reinforcement, if necessary, to accommodate this requirement. Required documentation proving this requirement can be met, must be submitted with offer.
4. Nineteen (19) reserved, secured on-site parking spaces.
   1. Offeror shall submit a parking narrative and site plan with their offer to demonstrate compliance with these parking requirements.
   2. Secured on-site parking as defined by the following:
      1. Secured Structure Parking: partially or fully enclosed parking area that resides within a building or as a standalone parking structure. The garage must be access-controlled, and parking spaces must be marked as “reserved.”
      2. Secured Surface Parking: outside of a proposed building structure may be considered. The parking must be access-controlled and at a minimum, a fence may be required.
   3. If the full parking number requirement will be satisfied through a combination of secured and reserved surface and/or structured parking, the proposed combination must be approved by the Lease Contracting Officer in consultation with the Tenant Agency’s risk/vulnerability assessment referenced in #7.
5. Offered space cannot be co-located with Federal, State, or Local agencies providing probation and/or parole services, drug abuse counseling/rehabilitation programs, social services, or halfway houses, and residential units.
6. Offered space cannot be co-located with private firms whose primary clientele are involved in or have ties to criminal elements.
7. Offered buildings/properties are subject to a risk/vulnerability assessment. The outcome of the assessment may result in the building not being technically compliant.
8. Prior to lease award, offeror may be required to provide a test-fit to determine efficiency of space layout. See AAAP RLP Paragraph 2.01, Efficiency of Layout.

Agency Tenant Improvement Allowance:
Existing leased space: $54.93 per ABOA SF
Other locations offered: $54.93 per ABOA SF
Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC):
Existing leased space: $25.00 per ABOA SF
Other locations offered: $25.00 per ABOA SF

The Government anticipates that the Tenant Improvement buildout for this requirement may exceed the
allowance by approximately $160.35 per ABOA SF. The Government will use the TI Allowance as stated
in the Contract Opportunities SAM.gov project specific advertisement in evaluating the TI rent component
of offers; however, this does not preclude the Government from consideration of move-related
replications costs in the evaluation, as outlined under the paragraph “Present Value Price Evaluation.”
The disclosure of this potential overage is not intended to be construed as an estimate of move-related
replications costs. Also, it is not either an accurate estimate or an agreement by the Government as to the
final pricing of the TI work, nor is it a commitment by the Government as to the level of TI work that
eventually will be required. This disclosure is only intended to assist Offerors in understanding their
potential obligation with respect to financing the full amount of Tenant improvements, as outlined under
the Lease Paragraph “Tenant Improvement Rental Adjustment.

HOW TO OFFER
The Automated Advanced Acquisition Program (AAAP), located at https://lop.gsa.gov/aaap, will enable
interested parties to offer space for lease to the Federal Government in response to the FY24 AAAP RLP.
In addition, the Government will use its AAAP to satisfy the above space requirement.

Offerors must go to the AAAP website, select the “Register to Offer Space” link and follow the instructions
to register. Instructional guides and video tutorials are offered on the AAAP homepage and in the “HELP”
tab on the AAAP website. Once registered, interested parties may enter offers during any “Open Period”.
For technical assistance with AAAP, email LOP.help@gsa.gov.

The Open Period is the 1st through the 7th of each month, ending at 7:30 p.m. (ET) unless otherwise
stated by the Government and unless the 7th falls on a weekend or Federal Holiday. If the 7th falls on a
weekend or Federal Holiday, the Open Period will end at 7:30 PM (ET) on the next business day. Refer to
AAAP RLP paragraph 3.02 for more details on the offer submission process. The Government reserves
the right to allow for multiple Open Periods prior to selecting an offer for award to meet this specific space requirement. Offers cannot be submitted during the Closed Period and will not be considered for projects executed during that time period.

Lease award will be made to the lowest price, technically acceptable offer, without negotiations, based
upon the requirements in this advertisement and in the RLP requirements package found on the AAAP
website. During an Open Period, offerors will be permitted to submit new offers or modify existing offers.
Offerors can draft an offer at any time; however, you can only submit an offer during the Open Period.

The offered space must comply with the requirements in this advertisement and the RLP and must meet
Federal Government, State, and Local jurisdiction requirements, including requirements for fire and life
safety, security, accessibility, seismic, energy, and sustainability standards in accordance with the terms
of the Lease. The Lease and all documents that constitute the Lease package can be found at
https://leasing.gsa.gov/leasing/s/AAAP-PortalHome.

If you have previously submitted an offer in FY 2023, the AAAP application has a copy feature which will
allow existing offers to be copied over to the FY 2024 RLP in order to avoid having to re-enter all of the
data manually. Please be sure to review FY24 AAAP RLP Package and each page within the AAAP
Application prior to submitting your offer as some of the questions have changed. You must re-enter your
space and rates on the ‘Space and Rates’ tab in the AAAP. Your previous offered space will not be
copied.

If there is a potential for conflict of interest because of a single agent representing multiple owners,
present evidence that the agency disclosed the multiple representation to each entity and has
authorization from each ownership entity offering in response to this advertisement. Required
documentation must be submitted with offer.
