Invitation to Submit Lease Proposal - Bridgeport

The State of Connecticut, Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is soliciting lease proposals for the Department of Motor Vehicles, seeking up to 15,000 net usable square feet of office space located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The procurement requires a facility with 224 on-site, reserved, paved, and lighted parking spaces, and must be fully accessible to individuals with disabilities and have convenient public transportation access. The lease term is specified for five years, with a strong preference for proposals that include renewal options and/or termination clauses. Proposals must be submitted by 3:00 PM EDT on August 16, 2024, with the solicitation period running from July 30, 2024 through the submission deadline. Key evaluation criteria include accessibility, parking availability, location convenience, and flexibility of lease terms. Interested property owners or their representatives are invited to submit proposals, with the understanding that offers from current option holders will not be considered. The solicitation is designated as Solicitation Number LP 24-23 and will be administered by Gary Bonaldi at the DAS Statewide Leasing and Property Transfer office in Hartford.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating an open competition for all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation documents do not provide an estimated total value for the lease or specify a specific budget range. Additionally, no information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or preferential treatment for specific types of businesses. Delivery terms are specified as "Free On Board Destination" with vendor-specified payment terms, but no further financial details are outlined. The lack of specific financial information suggests that pricing and specific lease terms will be negotiated based on the submitted proposals. Potential respondents are encouraged to contact Gary Bonaldi directly with any questions about the lease opportunity.
