Sites that are located adjacent to adult entertainment shops (i.e. book stores, video stores, or theatres), night clubs/bars, methadone clinics, drug rehabilitation centers, marijuana/hemp dispensaries, medical marijuana dispensaries, gun shops, liquor stores, etc. could potentially be eliminated from competition as these are considered non-compatible businesses.  Lessors are required to be registered and active in www.sam.gov prior to the deadline for final offer submission. 

Offers will need to include a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of registration in www.sam.gov (i.e. active CAGE code), and the existing floor plan.  Attached is a copy of the lease document, the general conditions, the construction specifications, the janitorial specifications, the rental proposal worksheet, and instructions for System for Award Management (SAM) registration.   Thoroughly review all documents and make sure that you agree to the terms presented.  The first four (4) pages of the lease have negotiable terms; however, the general conditions are standard and are not negotiable and must be accepted as written and shown on the attached file.  Review the construction specifications completely as they stipulate additional lessor responsibilities.

Leases are negotiated for a 5-year term, but they include a clause stating the Government can terminate giving reasonable days’ notice.  In order to incorporate firm term years, meaning the Government cannot get out of the lease for a specified period of time, we ask the lessor to provide a significant contribution towards the build-out costs.  Five year firm term leases are generally not considered. 

Following are the factors that will be considered when evaluating bids/offers:

Location Ability to meet all construction specifications, security measures and lease requirements Complete initial and final offers must be received by defined deadline Competitive costs in the best interest of the government Qualitative ratings by client for mission
