Market Search - DNR Grays Harbor

The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR), facilitated by the Department of Enterprise Services (DES), is conducting a market search for approximately 2,948 BOMA rentable square feet of office and storage space located in the Montesano area of Grays Harbor County. The procurement seeks an existing space that meets specific program requirements detailed in Appendix C, which includes provisions for offices, cubicles, touchdown spaces, wellness rooms, break rooms, restrooms, conference rooms, secured parking, gear decontamination areas, and warehouse space. The desired lease term is no longer than five years, with occupancy needed as soon as possible. The facility must comply with specific location characteristics, including being in an appropriately zoned area, having proximity to public transportation, and being situated outside the 100-year flood plain. The market search was posted on November 1, 2024, with the primary contact being Trevor Lybbert from DES, and prospective lessors must meet RES definition of "Existing Space" and adhere to Prevailing Wage requirements and State of Washington approved lease documents.

While the opportunity does not explicitly define set-aside designations or provide detailed restrictions on responding organizations, the procurement appears open to various commercial real estate providers and property owners within Grays Harbor County and surrounding jurisdictions. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation. If the total allocated square footage exceeds 20,000 sq ft, the agency requires a Life Cycle Cost Model Tool as an addendum. The contract opportunity spans multiple Washington counties, including Grays Harbor, Franklin, Grant, Chelan, Yakima, and others, suggesting potential flexibility in location. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement is focused on leasing approximately 2,948 rentable square feet, which implies a market-rate commercial lease arrangement. Prospective lessors will need to demonstrate compliance with state leasing standards, building code requirements, and the specific space allocation needs outlined in the supporting documentation.
