- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION SPACE UTILIZATION STUDY 1. BACKGROUND The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) Division needs to better understand the actual utilization of employee work spaces in order to more effectively manage its space holdings and optimize resources. With increasing number of employees opting for mobile and telework, REFM is exploring alternatives to dedicated work spaces. In order to determine the most optimal workplace solution, REFM needs assistance in determining true workspace utilization. At the same time, IRS would like to see if this tool could be associated with sensors for energy savings. (Such as the ability to turn off equipment when not used for a specified amount of time.) 2. OBJECTIVE The objective of this requirement is to fully understand the actual utilization of employee work spaces (workstations, private offices, and conference rooms) at specified locations outlined in this statement of work and also to see if these sensors could also provide for more efficient use of energy in the workstations. 3. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE To Be Determined 4. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: The following are possible sites. Site will be determined upon award.
