About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service is seeking to lease office, warehouse, and wareyard space in Prather, California, with a requirement for 15,000-16,900 rentable square feet and 50 surface parking spaces. The agency is looking to replace its current expiring lease and will evaluate alternative spaces based on economic advantage, considering factors such as relocation costs, tenant improvements, and agency downtime. Interested parties must submit expressions of interest by February 11, 2025, providing detailed information including building location, rental rates, parking availability, energy efficiency features, and building services. The lease will have a full term of 20 years with a firm term of 10 years, and the offered space must meet strict government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic stability, and sustainability. Evaluation criteria will include the space's ability to meet functional requirements, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with federal regulations, including telecommunications prohibitions outlined in the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations for small businesses or disadvantaged vendors. The estimated market survey is scheduled for March 11, 2025, with a target occupancy date of July 1, 2026. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the fully serviced lease will require the space to be within the Prather city limits and outside of the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain. The government will require potential lessors to provide comprehensive details about their properties, including rental rates, tenant improvement costs, building ownership information, and available services. The contract will prioritize spaces that demonstrate energy efficiency and renewable energy features, potentially providing a competitive advantage to environmentally conscious property owners. The solicitation suggests the government is seeking a long-term, high-quality leasing solution that meets its operational needs while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
