X -- Notice of Intent to Negotiate U.S. Government Succeeding Lease for 25,262 Rentable Square Feet yielding 22,159 ANSI/BOMA area square feet of contiguous office and related space in Phoenix, AZ

General Services Administration (GSA) Lease No. LAZ94479 provides 25,262 rentable square feet of contiguous office and related area in a 30-story building with a 6-level secure underground parking garage for 18 official vehicles. GSA is interested in considering alternative space if relocation is economically advantageous to the Government. In making such a determination, GSA will consider cost factors including, but not limited to, the total cost of the physical move (including telecommunications and computer cabling costs); tenant improvement costs (whether included in the rent or compensated separately from the rent); and anticipated rent for the space. Of particular importance is space configuration to support a sophisticated IT infrastructure with satellite capability, as well as excellent security that is able to provide lockdown and limited floor and office access as warranted. Proximity to employee services, such as moderately priced restaurants, banks, public transportation, and a fitness center, as well as hotel accommodations for visitors is also necessary. Other factors impacting the Government's rights under a prospective lease, such as the length of any firm term that may be required at an alternative location, length of time necessary to deliver occupancy-ready space, and the right to terminate any space vacated during the term, will also bear. Space must be located in the Central Business District in Phoenix and within these boundaries: North-Camelback Road; South-Jefferson Street; East-7th Street; and West-7th Avenue; further bounded by North-Van Buren Street; South-Jefferson Street; East-7th Street; and West-Interstate 17. Space must meet the Federal Government's standards for fire safety, be capable of being fully accessible to the physically challenged and be located outside a 100-year floodplain. Space must be ready for occupancy on August 12, 2006 or sooner. A lease term of 10 years with a firm term of 5 years is sought. Brokers or agents may represent the prospective landlord, but any properties or proposals submitted by brokers/agents must be accompanied by written evidence that they are authorized to represent the building's ownership. If you desire to submit a location for inspection, please forward information by 5:00 PM EDT, September 30, 2005. Expressions of interest should include building name and address, location of space in the building, rentable square feet offered and rentable rate per square foot (specifying services and utilities included), ANSI/BOMA defined usable square feet, percentage of common area factor used to determine the rentable square feet, one-eighth inch scale drawing of space offered, and contact information for owner or authorized agent.
