The offered facility shall be of a condition which is suitable for renovations to meet the specifications of the ITN and shall not be subject to destruction. The Department will only consider space that is built out to the point they can occupy and operate by July 1, 2024. During site evaluations (outlined in Article II., Section C.), the offered facility that requires the minimum amount of space modifications will receive more points and the offered facility that requires the maximum amount of space modifications will receive fewer points for that particular evaluation criterion (outlined in Article V., Section C.). The Offeror shall propose a full-service rental rate for each year of the Base and Renewal Option terms as specified in Article IV and include a $25/SF Tenant Improvement (TI) allowance, should any space modifications be required by the Department during site evaluations.

If scheduling allows, all Tenant Improvements shall be completed prior to occupancy, unless improvements to the space require permitting, then improvements can be completed post-occupancy.
