- 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 500-600 gross square feet of office space located within 3 miles of local Plattsburgh Outpatient Clinic (80 Sharron Avenue Plattsburgh, New York 12901).The geographic limitations detailed above will be strictly enforced and the VA will not accept or consider offers from beyond its boundaries. The anticipated lease agreement would be for one year. The VA is willing to consider only standard fit-out ready stand-alone building or suite with active utility connections that can be modified to meet the general needs (i.e., a "warm, lit shell"). It is preferred that the structure/building already be existing. 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 term of the lease. A beneficial occupancy date is required no later than May 15, 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 Sonja.Stroud@va.gov to request a market survey of their available property. This email must be received no later than April 23, 2010. 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. It is also encouraged that one submits a floor plan and pictures. Following April 23, 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 April, 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. However, the Contracting Officer may use FAR 15.306(d) (3) and choose to award without discussions. 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.
