- Description
- The United States Government ("USG") is seeking expressions of interest from developers for the construction and lease to the USG of commercial office space to be used as an annex office building in Pretoria, South Africa. The amount of office space needed is approximately 4,600 gross square meters. The building's finish and location shall be appropriate for the diplomatic function it serves and shall be designed and constructed in accordance with USG construction standards. Our objective is to have the building completed and ready for occupancy by approximately December 31, 2004. The lease shall provide that the USG shall pay the landlord an annual rent during the term of the lease. The term of the lease shall be for approximately 10 years and shall be renewable for additional terms to be negotiated. The build-lease agreement shall be negotiated and executed with the successful developer and shall contain preliminary floor plans, site plans, specifications and elevations. The final plans will then be agreed upon, completed and become part of the build-lease agreement. Aside from the rent, the USG shall provide no funding for design or construction. The developer shall provide all monies necessary for the development and long-term ownership of the property. The lease shall also have an option for the USG to purchase the property. If you are interested in providing the build-lease annex described herein, please submit in triplicate to the United States Embassy, 877 Pretorius Street, Arcadia, Pretoria 0083, South Africa, Attn: Annex Contracting Officer, a letter expressing your interest, requesting a bid package and including the required information outlined below. All expressions of interest must be received by 4 p.m., on 18 October 2002. We request that expressions of interest be submitted in English (or with an English translation), but this is not required. The USG shall review each expression of interest that meets the criteria set forth herein and provide those qualified with a bid package. In order to be considered, expressions of interest must include the following information: (1) Firm background. Provide the name, street address and contact information for the developer and anyone who has an ownership interest in such developer. Demonstrate that the developer has successfully completed projects of similar size and scope within similar time frames. Provide details on projects previously completed and describe the technical and managerial qualifications of the firm and its principal staff to be assigned to the project. Photos and brochures of the firm and your projects are helpful. Provide evidence of your financial status and ability to obtain sufficient financing to complete the project. (2) Proposed site/building. Indicate upon what tract of land, or in what neighborhood, you would propose to locate the annex. At the time that formal bids are submitted, you must control (i.e., own, have a long-term lease or an option to purchase) the property that is to be used for the annex. If you have the information presently available, indicate the size, location and general description of the site and/or building designated for the annex and demonstrate your control of such property.*****
