Lessors of Nonresidential Office Space for lease

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City anticipates leasing approximately 4,000 square feet of office and related space in Independence, Missouri to replace expiring current occupancy, with responses due October 6, 2026; no set-aside applies.

The Government will evaluate alternate space against economic criteria including relocation costs (physical move, tenant improvement replication, telecommunications infrastructure, and agency downtime) to determine whether change is advantageous. Place of performance is Independence, Missouri.

Lessors must provide dedicated space with 24/7 unrestricted access, adequate designated parking for Government vehicles, and separate utility metering for electricity, gas, water, sanitary sewer, and trash removal with no proration. The lessor bears full maintenance responsibility including HVAC systems maintaining 70–78 degrees Fahrenheit, common area maintenance, ceiling tile replacement, lighting at 50-foot candles in office spaces and 30-foot candles in non-working areas, janitorial services (twice weekly including trash, vacuuming, high-touch surface disinfection, and restroom disinfection; monthly dusting and glass cleaning; quarterly HVAC intake cleaning; twice-annual professional carpet extraction cleaning), fire protection systems, pest control, snow removal, and lawn care.

The lease term is five years with a 90-day Government cancellation right and no lessor cancellation right. Lessor must maintain $1 million combined public liability insurance and $500,000 property damage insurance, provide as-built CAD drawings within 60 days of occupancy, and comply with fire alarm and sprinkler system standards (NFPA 72, 13, 25, 101), ABA accessibility standards, and indoor air quality and mold remediation protocols. All construction specifications and tenant improvements must follow FY26 production office standards approved by the Corps of Engineers, including Energy Star components and prohibitions on equipment or components from China, Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, or Dahua Technologies per 2019 N.D.A.A. regulations.

Interested lessors must submit rental proposals using the provided Rent Proposal Form 1364, including deed evidence of owner interest, SAM registration or proof of pending registration, and acceptance of Government lease terms and GSA Form 3517B General Clauses.
