- Description
- 　 General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 6-Heartland East Leasing Services, Realty Division Location: St. Louis, Missouri Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Lease Extension LEASE NUMBER: GS-06P-80023 PROJECT NUMBER: 3MO0186 Agency Name: DHS U.S Customs and Border Protection/Border Transportation Security 1. IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION OF ACTION BEING APPROVED. The Department of Homeland Security U.S Customs and Border Protection and Border Transportation Security (DHS CBP) currently leases 12,695.00 rentable square feet (rsf) of office space located at 4477 Woodson Road, St. Louis, Missouri. The current lease expires April 30, 2013. The U.S General Services Administration (GSA) intends to extend the current lease for a twenty (20) month period. Approval is requested to negotiate a lease extension with the incumbent landlord without full and open competition for continued occupancy at this leased location. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED. DHS CBP requires 11,039.00 usable square feet (usf) resulting in 12,695.00 rentable square feet (rsf) of combined office space, for a lease term of twenty (20) months, twelve (12) months firm. The estimated annual cost, net of tenant improvements, of this fully-serviced lease extension is $15.62/rsf or $198,295.90 annually. DHS CBP will not require tenant improvements if the agency remains at the existing location. As are result, the total contract value of the twenty (20) month lease extension is estimated to be $330,493.17. 3. Identification of Statutory and Regulatory Authority. Statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition, including for lease extensions, is Title 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 through 6.302-7. 4. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED. FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and Compelling urgency states that "When the agency's need for the supplies or services is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposal, full and open competition need not be provided for. Additionally, "This authority applies in those situations where (1) an unusual and compelling urgency precludes full and open competition, and (2) delay in award of a contract would result in serious injury, financial or other, to the Government." The DHS CBP lease expires on April 30, 2013. DHS CBP did not provide their agency space and special requirements in time for GSA to complete a fully competitive procurement. The failure of DHS CBP to provide the requirements in time was the cause of the unusual & compelling urgency. As a result, GSA will pursue a non competed lease extension in order to prevent a lease holdover. Delay of a lease award extension with the incumbent landlord would result in a serious financial injury to the Government. A potential financial injury in this instance would include legal costs for occupying a space without having a lease. 5. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS TO SOLICIT AS MANY OFFERS AS PRACTICAL. In the case of a contract award permitted under 6.302-2, the justification shall be posted within 30 days after contract award on www.fedbizopps.gov. (FAR 6.305 2b) 6. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE. The Contracting Officer estimates that the fully serviced rental rate will remain the same as the existing lease. The fully serviced rental rate of $15.62/rsf is below current asking rates in the St. Louis market. The contracting officer determines by certifying this document that the estimated full serviced rate for the twenty (20) month, twelve (12) month firm lease extension is fair and reasonable. 7. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET SURVEY CONDUCTED. Not Applicable. 8. OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION Not Applicable. 9. LIST OF SOURCES THAT EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN THE ACQUISITION. Not Applicable. 10. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS TO OVERCOME BARRIERS TO COMPETITION. Not Applicable. 11. CONTRACTING OFFICER CERTIFICATION. By signature below, the Contracting Officer certifies that the award of a lease extension of 12,695.00 rsf at 4477 Woodson Road, St. Louis, Missouri is in the Government's best interest and that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
