1.02 AMOUNT AND TYPE OF SPACE, LEASE TERM, AND OCCUPANCY DATE (FEB 2026)

A.          The Government is seeking a minimum of 18,884 to a maximum of 20,000 of American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managers Association (ANSI/BOMA) Occupant Area (ABOA) square feet (SF) of contiguous space within the Area of Consideration set forth below.  See Section 2 of the Lease for applicable ANSI/BOMA standards.

B.           The Space shall be located in a modern quality Building of sound and substantial construction with a facade of stone, marble, brick, stainless steel, aluminum or other permanent materials in good condition and acceptable to the LCO.  If not a new Building, the Space offered shall be in a Building that has undergone, or will complete by occupancy, modernization or adaptive reuse for the Space with modern conveniences.

C.        The Government requires 36 surface/outside parking spaces, reserved for the exclusive use of the Government.  These spaces must be secured and lit in accordance with the Security Requirements set forth in the Lease.  Offeror must include the cost of this parking as part of the rental consideration.

D.         As part of the rental consideration, the Government may require use of part of the Building roof for the installation of antenna(s).  If antenna space is required, specifications regarding the type of antenna(s) and mounting requirements are included in the agency requirements information provided with this RLP.

E.       The Government may provide vending machines within the Government's leased area under the provisions of the Randolph-Sheppard Act (20 USC 107 et. seq.).  If the Government chooses to provide vending facilities, the Government will control the number, kind, and locations of vending facilities and will control and receive income from all automatic vending machines.  Offeror must provide necessary utilities and make related alterations.  The cost of the improvements is part of Tenant Improvement (TI) costs.  The Government will not compete with other facilities having exclusive rights in the Building.  The Offeror must advise the Government if such rights exist.

F.        The lease term must be 20 Years, 15 Years Firm, with Government termination rights, in whole or in parts, effective at any time after the Firm Term of the Lease by providing not less than 12 months prior written notice.  

The parties agree that Government’s obligation to pay rent is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds for each Federal fiscal year of the term of the lease.  If, for any reason, CSOSA is unable to continue the lease for its full xxx-year term, CSOSA may terminate the lease with twelve (12) month advance, written notice.  If the lease is terminated prior to the full xxx-year term, CSOSA will pay rent from the date of early termination notice for a period of twelve (12) months.

e.g. If Government enters into a lease with successful offeror on 6-1-2026 that contains a 12-month cancellation clause:

• FY 2026: Government 26 - 9/30/2026, plus
  • 10/1/26 – 9/29/2027 (12-month cancellation period)
• FY 2027: Government will record an FY 2027 rent obligation for:
  • 9/30/2027 – 9/29/2028
• FY 2028: Government will record an FY 2028 rent obligation for:
  • 9/30/2028 – 9/29/2029

This Lease may be renewed at the option of the Government for 1, 5-year [optional] term. The Government reserves the right in the Lease to not include an option, or to reduce the length of an option, if inclusion of the option would cause Lease to score as a capital lease, in accordance with the Budget Scorekeeping: Operating Lease Treatment paragraph of this RLP. Should the Government make the determination to modify the term or option(s), an amendment to the RLP will be issued.
