Lessors of Nonresidential Office Space

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Kansas City District is soliciting proposals for a fully-serviced lease of approximately 2,050 square feet of office and recruiting space in Blue Springs, Missouri, with proposals due by August 4, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. CDT. The Government is evaluating whether to renew or relocate from its current expiring lease based on economic advantage, accounting for relocation costs including physical move, tenant improvement replication, telecommunications infrastructure, and agency downtime.

The lease term is up to five years with 60-day termination rights for the Government. The space must provide 24-hour unrestricted access, available communications infrastructure (DSL, T1, or satellite dish), direct secondary exterior exit access, and 24-hour lighted parking for seven Government vehicles plus adequate onsite or proximate parking for privately owned vehicles. The delineated area encompasses Blue Springs city limits with priority given to properties fronting boundary streets.

Lessor must provide fully-serviced space including HVAC maintaining 70–78 degrees Fahrenheit, separate utility meters for all services (electricity, gas, water, sanitary sewer, trash removal, internet, and phone), fire sprinkler and alarm systems meeting NFPA standards, and janitorial services twice weekly. The lessor is responsible for permitting, constructing, and maintaining the facility with prior Corps of Engineers approval for significant deviations, architectural/engineering drawings, and construction commencement. Initial alterations are performed by the lessor with Government reimbursement via lump sum or three-part payment schedule.

The Government will evaluate proposals based on price (best rental consideration and construction costs including potential lessor build-out contributions) and technical factors of approximately equal importance, including location within the delineated area, neighborhood quality, building accessibility, parking, appearance, adjacent business compatibility, signage potential, floor plan efficiency, and high-speed internet availability. Offerors must provide evidence of property ownership or control, Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, accessibility and fire protection verification, hazardous condition disclosure, and allow Government inspection and environmental study access. The Government may conduct discussions and will award to the responsible offeror offering best value. Contact Katie Long at Kathryn.c.long@usace.army.mil or 816-389-2409.
