is preferred.

Offered space must be:
•  located in a quality building of sound and substantial construction as described in this 
RLP;
•  have a potential for efficient layout;

For purposes of this RLP, the definition of ANSI/BOMA office area square feet is in the “Standard 
for Measuring Office Area and Other Space” paragraph in the DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL TERMS section.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: To demonstrate potential for efficient layout, the offeror may  be required 
to provide a test fit layout at the offeror's expense when the offered space contains certain 
features such as:
o narrow column spacing;
o atriums, light wells, or other areas interrupting contiguous spaces;
o extremely long, narrow runs of space;
o irregular space configurations; or
o other unusual building features.
See Section 2.01, Efficiency of Layout and Section 3.04 A-11, Due Diligence – Additional Submittals 
of the RLP Form R100A for specific instructions on what is required for the test fit.

The Government will advise the offeror if the test fit layout demonstrates that the Government's 
requirement cannot be accommodated within the offered space. The offeror will have the option of 
increasing the ANSI/BOMA office area (usable) square footage offered, provided that it does not 
exceed the maximum ANSI/BOMA office area (usable) square footage in this RLP. If the offeror is 
already providing the maximum ANSI/BOMA office area (usable) square footage and cannot house the 
Government's space requirements, the Government will advise the offeror that the offer is 
unacceptable.

Offered space must meet Government requirements for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and 
sustainability standards per the terms of the Lease.
