Invitation to Submit Lease Proposal - Meriden, Cheshire, Middletown

The State of Connecticut, Department of Administrative Services (DAS), is seeking lease proposals for the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) to secure up to 4,000 net usable square feet of office space in the Meriden, Cheshire, or Middletown area. The solicitation (LP 24-22) requires the leased premises to include sixteen (16) on-site, reserved, paved, and lighted parking spaces. Key requirements include accessibility for individuals with disabilities and proximity to public transportation. Proposals must be submitted by 3:00 PM EDT on August 9, 2024, with a preferred lease term of five years. Evaluation criteria will prioritize proposals offering renewal options and/or termination clauses, indicating flexibility is a critical consideration for the state. The procurement is structured with Free On Board Destination delivery terms and vendor-specified payment terms, and interested property owners or their representatives are invited to submit site offerings that meet the specified parameters.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The state explicitly notes that offers from option holders cannot be considered, which is the only notable limitation on potential bidders. No estimated total contract value, budget range, or specific funding sources are disclosed in the procurement documents. The contact for questions and proposal submissions is Samantha McLaughlin from DAS Leasing in Hartford, who can provide additional details about the solicitation. While the financial specifics are not provided, the procurement represents a standard government lease opportunity seeking office space to support the Division of Criminal Justice's operational requirements in New Haven County, Connecticut.
