Solicitation 94349

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Department of General Services (DGS), is seeking to lease 7,539 usable square feet of office/barracks space for the Pennsylvania State Police in Fulton County. The procurement requires the proposed space to be located within a 2.5-mile radius from Fulton Road between SR 522 and Cito Road, with specific requirements for office, support, and special facilities. The solicitation for proposal (SFP #94349) mandates the leased space must include parking for a minimum of 58 vehicles and meet detailed specifications for construction materials, architectural design, storage areas, and mechanical and electrical systems. Proposals are due by July 12, 2010, with interested vendors instructed to visit www.dgs.state.pa.us or call (717) 787-4396 for additional information. The Commonwealth reserves the right to reject any or all offers submitted in response to this solicitation.

The solicitation includes specific provisions for small disadvantaged business participation, with an evaluation scale that considers the percentage of commitment to utilization by such businesses. Prevailing wage requirements are outlined for any construction, substantial rehabilitation, or alterations exceeding $25,000 in total estimated cost, which will become contractual obligations for the selected lessor. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements suggest a substantial investment in leasing and potentially modifying the space to meet state police facility standards. The procurement appears open to various property owners and developers who can meet the detailed spatial, infrastructural, and logistical requirements specified in the SFP. Small disadvantaged businesses are particularly encouraged to participate, with their level of involvement potentially influencing the evaluation and selection process.
