Market Search - DOL - Pierce, Thurston, and Lewis Counties

The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, acting on behalf of the Department of Licensing, is conducting a market search under solicitation 26-09-273 to identify suitable leased properties in Pierce, Thurston, or Lewis County. The agency requires approximately 2 acres of usable land for driver testing, which may include up to 2,800 square feet of office and training space. Mandatory requirements include a minimum lease term of five years, with options up to ten years, and office space that is code-compliant, enclosed, and conditioned with essential plumbing, power, and lighting. The agency is seeking facilities with sufficient infrastructure to support operational needs and will find several features advantageous, such as paved testing lots, secure gated parking, and locations outside the FEMA 100-year flood plain. Preferred interior amenities include a training room accommodating up to 20 people, six examiner and testing workstations, and a coffee bar style kitchenette. Additionally, preference may be given to properties that allow for co-location with other state agencies. Space allocations are governed by the Office of Financial Management Modified Pre-Design and Space Use Guidelines.
