Extension of RLP to 7-31-2020

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking expressions of interest to lease approximately 19,926 ANSI/BOMA Office Area square feet of clinical space along with 80 parking spaces for a Community Based Outpatient Clinic within a defined area in St. Louis, Missouri. The VA requires space in an existing building suitable for a build-out lease, with specifications including a single contiguous floor without interruptions, compliant zoning, absence from flood plains, and proximity to amenities such as hospitals, emergency services, public transportation, and multiple highway access. The lease term may extend up to 10 years, divided into a 5-year fixed firm term followed by a 5-year soft term with termination rights. The space must meet federal and local standards for safety, security, accessibility, and sustainability, and include features like loading docks and freight elevators but disallow structured parking beneath. Interested parties must submit detailed information including ownership, zoning, floor plans, floodplain status, transportation proximity, and surrounding land use within the designated boundaries delineated by major roads in St. Louis. The VA encourages responses from Veteran Owned Small Businesses and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, but the solicitation is open to other qualified entities as well. This notice serves to identify potential sources for planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to lease. Responses are due by November 1 at 4:30 p.m. CST, and the estimate for construction and build-out costs ranges between $1 million and $2 million. The selected lessee will be responsible for design, construction, maintenance, and operations throughout the lease term.
