LEASING - Miami Vet Center

Expressions of Interest Sought

Requirement:



The US Department of Veterans Affairs currently occupies office and related space in a building under lease in Doral, FL that will be expiring. The Government is seeking to lease 3,655 contiguous rentable square feet of office and related space. The lease term requirement is for a term of five (5) year firm, with five (5) one (1) year options to extend the term of the Lease. The space must be available for occupancy by October 1, 2013.



The Government is considering alternative space only 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 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.
