Additional Requirements:

1. Space Condition: The Government is seeking move-in ready / second-generation office space requiring minimal construction. This is intended to reduce TI cost impact and support the required post award schedule.
   
   1. Minimal tenant improvements meaning the offered space has an existing office build-out and building systems in place, and the anticipated work is primarily interior improvements (e.g reconfiguration of non-structural partitions, finishes, limited MEP adjustments and device relocations, and associated fire/life safety modifications as needed).
   2. The Government anticipates some construction will be necessary; however, offerors must demonstrate the ability to meet the required Post-Award Schedule to be considered technically eligible for award and as, this is a low price, technically acceptable procurement, the final evaluated price will determine the intended awardee among technically eligible offers.
2. Post Award Schedule: The Government’s required post-award deliverables and timeframes are set forth in ‘AAAP Post Award Schedule’. An offeror's ability to meet the post award schedule requirements is material to this procurement.
   1. Submittal Requirements: The Government will evaluate these items for schedule compliance/feasibility as part of technical acceptability.
      1. Schedule Feasibility Narrative:
         1. As part of the offer, please include a narrative explaining the offeror’s assumptions, resourcing and approach for meeting each ‘Lessor Provided’ post-award deliverable timeframe in the Post Award schedule, including (as applicable) long-lead items, A/E coordination, permitting/approvals strategy, QA/QC reviews and internal review/approval cycles. The narrative must identify key risks and the offeror’s mitigation actions.
         2. The narrative must identify any anticipated scope items beyond minor reconfiguration/finishes and limited MEP device relocations that could impact the critical path or the Post Award Schedule timeframes and explain how the schedule time frames will still be met.
   2. Evidence of Capability: If identified as the Apparent Successful Offeror, the offeror must submit the following items in addition to those required by Section 3.06 of the RLP prior to award. Identification of A/E and at least two General Contractors that will participate in the bidding process (or if not yet under contract, a firm plan for engagement and a letter of commitment from the proposed firm(s).
   3. To be found technically acceptable, the offeror must take no exception to the Post Award Schedule deliverables and timeframes and submit the two items identified above in a manner that provides a credible basis to conclude the Offeror can meet the required deliverable timeframes within the contracting officer’s sole discretion. Failure to submit these items or submission that is materially incomplete/conditional, may result in a finding of “Technically Unacceptable.”
3. Furniture: The Government will accept offered space that includes existing systems furniture and furnishings (e.g workstations, private office furnishings, conference tables and chairs) for Government use to help support timely occupancy, at no additional cost to the Government. Furniture is not a requirement of technical acceptability and will not be evaluated for award. Offers that do not include furniture remain fully eligible.
   1. Condition Standard: Any furniture offered must be clean and in good working order with no significant defects, and available for Government use by occupancy as determined in the Government’s sole discretion. Furniture offered is subject to Government inspection at turnover/occupancy. If the Government will not accept the offered furniture, the Lessor bears the cost to remove it.
