X--Painesville Request for Lease Proposal

The Department of Veteran Affairs, through the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, is seeking to lease approximately 17,500 square feet of fully serviced space in Painesville, Ohio, to establish a government staffed Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC). The selected location must be accessible to local public transportation to facilitate travel for eligible veteran patients and comply with strict government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic stability, and sustainability. Additionally, the site must not be within a 100-year flood plain and should provide onsite parking, including 250 general spaces and 30 handicapped-accessible spaces. Interested parties were invited to submit expressions of interest by April 30, 2014, with the estimated occupancy date set for September 30, 2015. The leasing opportunity is part of a sources-sought notice, with further market surveys and offers to be determined. The contracting office handling this procurement is located in Independence, Ohio, and the point of contact for inquiries is Prince Meredith, a contract specialist at the VA. This initiative aims to expand accessible veteran healthcare services in the Painesville area through an appropriately situated and compliant facility.
