- Description
- SUMMARY REQUIREMENT: The General Services Administration (GSA) desires to lease between 11,613 rentable square feet (RSF) and 12,774 RSF of office and related space, yielding between 10,098 ANSI/BOMA Office area (formerly usable) square feet (USF) and 11,107 USF of modern office space. The space will be occupied by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to house personnel, furnishings, and equipment. A minimum of 62 outside/surface parking spaces are required (31 employee; 31 visitor), with employee parking separate from visitor parking. BUILDING REQUIREMENT: The facility must be Class A, professional in appearance, well maintained, of modern design, and of sound and substantial construction. The space shall be located in a professional office setting and not within close proximity to residential areas, railroad tracks, busy intersections or one-way access roads. Sites which are located directly on a highway or six-lane thoroughfare will not be considered in the following instances: (1) if the two directions of traffic are separated by a physical barrier or traffic indicator which does not permit access from either direction within one block; or (2) if access to the location is directly from a highway, unless there is a traffic control device within two blocks (or an equivalent distance) from the proposed office space. Locations must be as convenient to the visiting public as possible. Space shall not be located within a base floodplain or wetland unless the Government has determined it to be the only practicable alternative. Space shall be ready for occupancy no later than October 1, 2011. The requested space must be fully serviced, and in a building capable of being altered to meet the Government's needs and security requirements as well as the Government's requirements for fire and life safety and handicap accessibility. UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS: Space shall be on the second floor (if in the flood plain), shall be contiguous, and on one level without being split by a public corridor or firewalls. Space must have the potential for efficient layout; columns must be at least 28 feet apart center-to-center, and 28 feet from any interior wall and be no more than two feet square; space should not be "U" or "L" shaped or exceed a length to width ratio of 2:3. The following space configurations will not be considered: space with atriums or other areas interrupting contiguous space, extremely long or narrow runs of space, irregularly shaped space configurations, or other unusual building features adversely affecting usage. Elevator service must consist of a minimum of two industrial, handicap accessible elevators (only one may serve as a freight elevator). Public transportation, if available, must be within two blocks of the space. In suburban areas, in small communities and in areas of major cities where adequate public transportation and on‑site parking are not available, secure vehicle parking facilities MUST be available at reasonable commercial rates for visitors and employees within a two block radius of the space. Secure parking is defined as parking that meets Federal Protective Service guidelines and should be resolved before any lease is signed. "Reasonable rates" will be determined by local pricing levels. In those locations where on‑site parking is not available, parking for the disabled must be located within the same block. In addition, GSA will contact local authorities and request the placement of a loading/unloading zone in front of the office for the disabled and other visitors. A request to GSA will also be made on behalf of disabled employees in those locations where on‑site parking is not available. Availability of public transportation, public and commercial parking, and on‑site parking shall be considered as award factors in evaluating offers, but not as requirements of the Solicitation for Offers (S.F.O). Locations which meet SSA space requirements and have on‑site parking for visitors and employees shall be given priority consideration during the process of evaluating offers from potential lessors. Restricted or metered parking of one hour or less within the two block area of the space does not meet parking requirements. This is because many SSA contacts with the public cannot be completed within one hour. Failure to meet the above parking requirements constitutes grounds for rejecting a site. LOCATION / DELINEATED AREA: The building offered must be located in Galveston County, TX, within the following boundaries: North: One-half mile north of FM 646 East: One mile east of I-45 South: Galveston Island (including the entire island) West: One mile west of I-45 LEASE TERM: The term is for ten (10) years, five (5) years firm. Expressions of interest should include the following: Building name and address or, for unimproved sites, provide specific location. One-eighth scale drawing of space offered or, for unimproved sites, provide site plan and location map. Confirm BOMA method of measurement, usable yield for available space by floor, and building common area factor. Name, address, and telephone number of individual to be contacted. Owners and Authorized Agents: Brokers and agents may represent prospective landlords, but any properties or proposals submitted by the brokers/agents must be accompanied by written evidence that they are authorized to represent the building's ownership. Authorized contacts: In no event shall the offeror enter into negotiations or discussions concerning the space to be leased with representatives of any Federal Agency other than the officers and employees of the GSA. Responses to this ad should be received by September 29, 2010, referencing project No. 9TX2150.
