Sources Sought - Alternative Site if advantageous to Government - AmeriCorps - Aurora, CO

Sources Sought for Other Than Full and Open Competition AmeriCorps intends to award a succeeding lease using other than full and open competition for an existing lease for campus space in Aurora, CO due to lease expiration. AmeriCorps requires a combination of dormitory living space, kitchen space, admin space (office), Warehouse (storage), training (multifunctional), and recreation facility space yielding approximately 90,000 - 100,000 ANSI/BOMA square feet and 135 adjacent parking space. The space must be contiguous, and all services, supplies, utilities, and partitioning must be included as part of the rental consideration. Tenant alterations are not authorized for this lease. The United State Government (AmeriCorps) hereafter referred to as the Government currently occupies multi-functional space located at 15001 East Oxford Ave., Aurora, CO 80014. The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. The Government will use the information it receives in response to this advertisement as a basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis and to determine whether to compete the lease requirement or pursue a sole source justification to remain at its current location. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate space that potentially can satisfy the Government's requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime. The Government's decision regarding whether to relocate will be based, in part, on information received in response to this advertisement. Submission by anyone other than the owner or manager of a property must be accompanied by a letter from the ownership granting permission to make a general offering of space. In instances where the Offeror is representing more than one property, the Offeror is hereby notified that they may only participate in negotiations on behalf of one owner.
