The United States Government currently occupies office and related space in a building under lease at 1801 N Lynn Street in Arlington, VA, that will be expiring in June 2013. The Government is seeking potential sources for approximately 350,000 BOMA rentable square feet of contiguous office and related space within the delineated area of Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and Pentagon City/Crystal City, Virginia as outlined above, to be occupied by the Department of State (DoS). This will be a new lease to replace DoS's existing lease. The Government is seeking a lease for a term of fifteen (15) years and requires sole tenancy in the building as outlined above, with the exception of first (1st) floor retail. New construction or existing buildings that can meet the required occupancy date will be considered. If new construction is proposed, the offered site must provide the required square footage in one (1) building. The anticipated term is fifteen (15) years. The estimated occupancy date is July 2013. Offered space must meet Government requirements for fire life safety, accessibility, seismic, Energy Star, NEPA, LEED, and sustainability standards per the terms of the lease. Offered space shall not be in the 100 year flood plain. Owners, brokers or agents may offer space for consideration. Any properties submitted by brokers or agents must be accompanied by written evidence that they are authorized by the ownership to exclusively represent the building offered. The General Services Administration (GSA) is using a tenant broker to represent the Government in this transaction. In no event shall a potential offeror enter into negotiations or discussions concerning a space to be leased with representatives of any federal agency other than the authorized offices and employees of the GSA or their authorized representative, CBRE, Inc. This is a large lease and GSA expects that it will exceed the prospectus threshold established by 40 USC 3307 ($2.79 million per year for Fiscal Year 2011). GSA's current prospectus program rate for this delineated area is $39.00 per square foot. Therefore, GSA expects that offers reflecting fair market rate should be priced at or below this rate. Please be sure that your pricing quote(s) reflects this information. Further, please be reminded that the cost of relocation of furniture, telecommunications, replication costs, and other move-related costs will be accounted for in GSA's price evaluation.
