The contract solicits offers for approximately 3,200 usable square feet of commercial retail or office space within a specific area of Chicago, Illinois, bounded by 95th Street to the north, 119th Street to the south, I-94 to the east, and Kedzie Avenue to the west. The space is intended for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Recruiting Facilities Program and must meet several requirements, including a secondary egress, designated parking for two government vehicles accessible 24/7, adequate nearby parking for employees and customers, daytime janitorial services, and prominent signage for high visibility. Offers for sites located adjacent to certain non-compatible businesses such as adult entertainment venues, night clubs, drug rehabilitation centers, dispensaries, liquor stores, and gun shops will likely be excluded. Lessors must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a current CAGE code prior to submitting final offers. Lease terms are for a five-year period with government termination rights providing reasonable notice, though lessors can negotiate firm terms if they contribute significantly to build-out costs; however, firm terms are generally not favored. Bids must include a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of SAM registration, and detailed existing floor plans. Evaluation criteria focus on location, compliance with construction, security, and lease requirements, timeliness of submission, competitive pricing, and mission-related qualitative ratings. Comprehensive specifications outlined in the provided documents cover construction standards, janitorial duties, general lease clauses, and security requirements, emphasizing compliance with federal, state, and local codes, Energy Star standards, and additional lessor responsibilities. The solicitation deadline is May 5, 2026, with Kelly Black as the primary contact for inquiries.

SOLICITATON FOR OFFER


LOCATION:                           Chicago, IL


DELINEATED AREA:         


N Boundary:  95th St


S Boundary:   119th St


E Boundary:  I-94


W Boundary: Kedzie Ave


The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is soliciting offers for approximately 3,200 square feet (useable) of commercial retail/office space within the delineated area.  Space will need to include a secondary egress; have adequate parking (prefer it is sign designated) for 2 Government-owned vehicles 24 hours a day/7 days a week, as well as adequate parking within 4 blocks for employee and customer vehicles; include daytime janitorial services; and include adequate signage for maximum visibility. 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:


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

Additional information regarding this solicitation may be obtained from Kelly Black by email at kelly.r.black@usace.army.mil.  Proposals are due no later than 5:50 pm on 05/05/2026.
