X--Succeeding Lease Cleveland Community Based Outpatient Clinic

The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to award a succeeding lease for the Cleveland Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Cleveland, Wisconsin, using other than full and open competition. The current lease is expiring, and the leased space, primarily clinical, will range between 8,500 and 10,000 net usable square feet. The lease term is set for ten years, consisting of a five-year base with five one-year renewal options, with occupancy required by October 1, 2013. The lease agreement will include all services, supplies, utilities, and tenant alterations as part of the rental consideration. While the Department prefers to continue with the current lessor located at 1205 North Avenue, Cleveland, they remain open to evaluating alternative spaces if economically advantageous, factoring in associated moving and tenant improvement costs. Expressions of interest are invited and must be directed to the Contracting Officer, Michael Chester, whose contact information is provided, preferably via email. The lease acquisition is issued under solicitation number VA69D13R1231, and the contracting office is located at 115 South 84th Street, Suite 101, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This action falls under the NAICS code 531190 and is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Network Contract Office 12. The department's intent to limit competition reflects a focus on continuity of service for the clinic while carefully considering cost and logistical factors related to relocation or lease renewal.
