Solicitation for PSP in Potter County

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Department of General Services, is seeking proposals for leasing office space to house the Pennsylvania State Police in Potter County. The solicitation (SFP 94821) requires 8,246 net usable square feet of office space to accommodate approximately 29 Commonwealth employees, with a specific location requirement of being within a 5-mile radius of the intersection of US Route 6 and Woodsedge Lane in Coudersport. The procurement is structured as a 15-year lease with options for two additional 5-year renewal terms. Proposers must provide a comprehensive set of services including utilities, janitorial services, trash removal, snow and ice removal, sewer and water, and lawn and shrub care. The solicitation allows for two proposal types: a full-service lease or a lease where the lessor provides only sewer and water services. Proposals are due by 3:00 P.M. on September 30, 2016, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to reject any or all proposals and negotiate lease terms with the selected proposer.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Prevailing wage requirements are specified for any construction or substantial rehabilitation of the proposed facility. While no incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, the Commonwealth indicates a preference for a comprehensive service offering that minimizes additional costs and administrative burden. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the requirement for 8,246 square feet of office space in Potter County suggests potential annual lease values in the range of $100,000 to $250,000, depending on local real estate market conditions. The procurement appears open to various property owners, including private real estate firms, commercial property developers, and local property owners who can meet the specified requirements and location constraints. The Commonwealth's evaluation will likely focus on location suitability, overall service quality, cost-effectiveness, and ability to meet the specified space and service requirements.
