ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The space required is listed in approximate BOMA Net Rentable Square Feet (NRSF). In the event it becomes necessary, any discrepancies identified will be discussed and reconciled by the parties. NREL requests that Offeror provide an offer for the space listed above on an ANSI/BOMA NET RENTABLE basis. ANSI/BOMA NET RENTABLE is defined as follows: For the purposes of this lease, the Lessee and the Lessor recognize and agree to use the American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managers Association (ANSI/BOMA) International Standard (Z65.1-1996) definition for office area, which means - the area where a tenant normally houses personnel and/or furniture, for which a measurement is to be computed. ANSI/BOMA Office Area square feet shall be computed by measuring the area enclosed by the finished surface of the room side of corridors (corridors in place as well as those required by local codes and ordinance to provide an acceptable level of safety and/or provide access to essential building elements) and other permanent walls, the dominant portion (refer to Z65.1) of building exterior walls, and the center of tenant-separating partitions where alcoves, recessed, entrances or similar deviation are not present.
