- Description
- The Samuel S. Stratton Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Hereafter "VA"), located at 113 Holland Ave., Albany NY 12208, plans to solicit the market and make competitive award of a Real Property Lease Agreement for approximately 9,000 net usable and 10,000 gross square feet of program office space located within five miles of the VA. The space must include at least 40 parking spaces. At least two patient spaces must be marked as handicapped and located directly adjacent to the building entrance.The five-mile geographic radius will be measured directly, independent of landscape (i.e., "as the crow flies"). The radius will be strictly enforced and the VA will not accept or consider offers from beyond its boundaries. Evaluation will likely take into account the proximity of the space to the medical center. The anticipated lease agreement would be for a five-year base term with one five-year option to be exercised by the unilateral action of the VA. The VA will consider the following type of response to fulfill this need. The lease shall be for a standard fit-out ready stand-alone building or suite with active utility connections that can be modified to meet the general needs and floor plan of the Veteran Community Outreach Center (VCOC). This structure may be existing, or constructed as a build-to-suit project. The VA would be the sole occupant of this space once fit-out appropriately for its use. The VA would anticipate amortizing the cost of any fit-out/construction into the monthly rental payments to be made to the lessor across the five-year base term of the lease.A beneficial occupancy date, with the space fully modified and prepared for the VA's use, is required no later than April 1, 2010. Evaluation will likely take into account whether the offered space could be made ready for VA use prior to that date. Interested parties are required to send an email to rachael.roney@va.gov and/or sonja.stroud@va.gov to request a market survey of their available property. This email must be received no later than October 9, 2009. The email must include a point of contact name, telephone number, email address, the physical address of the property, the available square footage, asking price (if available), and a general overview of the building's age, condition, prior/current use, and available utilities.Following October 9, the VA will begin the process of formal market surveys at each offered site. This market survey will consist of a group of VA stakeholders visiting and evaluating each offered space to make a go/no-go determination of whether the space currently meets or can be made to meet the VA's needs. These market surveys are anticipated to occur during standard business hours in the month of October, and will require the building owner or a designee pre-approved by the VA to be present. Market surveys are typically 30 minutes to 90 minutes in length.Following market surveys, the VA will release a Solicitation for Offers (SFO) to owners of spaces which were rated as a "go" during the market survey. This SFO will specify a time period in which offerors must prepare a full, signed lease offer and submit the offer to the VA for final evaluation. The VA may conduct discussions (negotiations) as necessary with offerors to reach a final, best-value decision regarding the ultimate award of a lease. All correspondence regarding this synopsis, the resulting solicitation, and the ultimate award of this lease must be conducted exclusively with the Contracting Officer and/or a designee thereof. The approved designees for this procurement are Rachael Roney and Sonja Stroud, who are available at 518-626-6137 or 518-626-6139, respectively. The contract specialists can be reached via e-mail at rachael.roney@va.gov or sonja.stroud@va.gov.
