NC DHHS proposal to lease - Boone

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Vocational Rehabilitation Division is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to lease approximately 5,518 net square feet of office space in the Boone, North Carolina area. The RFP specifies detailed requirements for the office space layout, electrical, HVAC, parking, accessibility, and other building features. The initial lease term is for 8-10 years with renewal options, and possession of the space is required by November 1, 2024 or as soon thereafter as possible. Proposals must be submitted by 4:00 PM ET on June 4, 2024. The State will evaluate proposals based on factors such as timeliness of delivery, maintenance, and prior lessor performance, and reserves the right to reject any proposal.

The State encourages participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) and lessors that can provide environmentally sustainable "green buildings." The RFP does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on award values or budget ranges. Lessors have the option to include or exclude utilities and janitorial services in their pricing, and the State supports the use of products with recycled content in the proposed building.
