Lessors of Nonresidential Office Space for Lessor

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Kansas City District intends to solicit proposals for lease of approximately 2,400 gross square feet of office space in Wentzville, Missouri, with proposals due August 4, 2026. This is not a set-aside. The Government currently occupies space under an expiring lease and will pursue relocation only if economically advantageous, factoring in alternate space availability, physical move costs, tenant improvement replication, telecommunications infrastructure, and agency downtime.

Place of performance is the delineated Wentzville area bounded by Highway 61 (North and East), Interstate 70 (South), and State Highway 47 West, with buildings having frontage on boundary streets considered in scope.

Technical and operational requirements are extensive. The lease must be fully serviced with rent covering all operating costs, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, janitorial services, and parking. The lessor must provide 24-hour unrestricted access, all communications infrastructure (DSL, T1, or satellite dish), direct access to secondary exterior exit doors, and 24-hour lighted parking for six government vehicles plus adequate private vehicle parking onsite or within four blocks. The lessor is responsible for all construction and alterations per detailed military recruiting facility specifications, including mechanical systems maintaining 70–76°F, LED lighting at 50 foot-candles, security systems (video intercom entry control and CCTV with 14-day recording capability), and compliance with fire codes NFPA 101, 72, and 13. Equipment must not originate from Chinese manufacturers (Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, Dahua) per 2019 NDAA restrictions. The lessor must obtain Certificate of Occupancy, conduct Phase I environmental site assessment per ASTM standards, and address asbestos management and National Historic Preservation Act compliance where applicable. Janitorial services must be provided twice weekly for spaces under 3,000 square feet.

The lease term is up to five years with Government 90-day termination rights and no offeror termination rights. Award prioritizes best value with price approximately equal in importance to technical factors including location, neighborhood characteristics, parking availability, floor plan efficiency, high-speed internet availability, and sign visibility. Offerors must register in SAM and provide evidence of property ownership or control.
