Market Search - ESD - Chelan County

The State of Washington Employment Security Department, through the Washington Department of Enterprise Services, is soliciting proposals for approximately 3,296 BOMA rentable square feet of leased office space in Chelan County. The desired lease term is five years, targeting occupancy by October 1, 2026. The solicitation, identified as project number 25-09-307, outlines specific location and building requirements including parking availability, energy efficiency considerations, and compliance with prevailing wage laws. The project documentation includes detailed workspace and space utilization summaries, emphasizing functional allocations such as offices, cubicles, touchdown spaces, conference rooms, and training facilities, with an objective to achieve 80% workspace utilization and accommodate mobile workforce needs. The procurement process is structured as a market search to identify suitable leasing options meeting state standards and agency needs, with emphasis on site accessibility and proximity to public transit. While the solicitation provides standard lease terms and definitions, explicit contract clauses, pricing details, or formal evaluation factors are not included in the available documentation. Communication and submission are to be directed to a designated leasing agent via provided contact information. Special contract requirements focus largely on ethics in public contracting, certifications related to minority and local business status, and payment documentation for small disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The contract administration framework includes templates for award notices, payments, and change orders but lacks detailed clauses, fiscal data, or binding contract language at this stage. Overall, the effort seeks to secure office space that aligns with governmental standards for functionality, location, and compliance, with flexibility for formalizing terms upon selection of suitable leased space proposals.
