Solicitation for Space - Peoria, IL

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service Region 5 is seeking to lease office space in Peoria, Illinois, with specific requirements for a new facility. The solicitation calls for 5,129-5,642 ABOA square feet of contiguous office space located on one floor above ground level, with one structured/reserved parking space. The delineated area for potential locations is bounded by SW/NE Perry Ave, N William Kumpf Blvd, SW/NE Adams St, and Fayette St. Critical requirements include proximity to public transportation (within two blocks), a loading dock, freight elevator, secured lobby with a security guard station, and secondary emergency egress. The space must meet stringent government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic requirements, and sustainability, and cannot be situated in a 1-percent-annual chance floodplain.

The lease term is structured for 15 years with a 10-year firm term, with an estimated occupancy date of April 1, 2027. Expressions of Interest are due by March 12, 2025, with an anticipated market survey scheduled for April 15, 2025. While specific award values are not disclosed, the solicitation falls under the Real Estate NAICS category (531) and the Lease/Rental of Office Buildings PSC category (X1AA), indicating a commercial real estate transaction. The procurement process will likely evaluate potential spaces based on compliance with specified requirements, location characteristics, accessibility, and overall cost-effectiveness for the federal agency's needs.
