Space should have no history of prior heavy industrial use such as large dry cleaning operations, gas stations, and industrial facilities. The space should not be located immediately adjacent to railroad tracks.� Buildings containing warehouse, residential, or manufacturing facilities or buildings located in or near industrial or manufacturing zones or complexes shall not be acceptable. Space should not be located in a flood plain. Streets and public sidewalks must be well maintained.� To allow for visibility to the public, the government office space shall be located not more than the equivalent of � mile from a primary or secondary street serving the office.� The route from the primary or secondary street shall be direct.� Locations which have obscure, difficult access or which require multiple turns shall not be considered.� Sites which are located directly on or near a roadway which presents a hazard to our customers will not be considered.� Determinations of hazardous access will be made by SSA.� Sites located on a high-traffic roadway or multi-lane thoroughfare must have traffic signals within two blocks to provide safe access. Buildings located near bars, nightclubs, and liquor stores will not be considered.� Locations near dry cleaners, beauty salons, bingo parlors or other business that produce large fluctuations in traffic or smells detectable within the office space will not be considered. Building Criteria SSA guidelines require standard office space consistent with the local market.� Space must comply with all applicable building codes and accessibility standards as defined in the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS), and the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). The primary entrance must be accessible for all persons with special needs, including wheel-chair access. All space must be located in one contiguous block on a single floor in the same building with the exception of the space allotted to the storage room and Interactive Video Training (IVT) room.� These rooms only, and their associated square footages, may be separated from the main office area by a public corridor as long as the space is located on the same floor.� Offers that require additional space to be separated by a public corridor or require any space to be located on a separate floor will not be acceptable. Space can be located on any floor of a building that meets GSA leasing criteria and has handicapped accessible elevator service to the government office floor.� If space offered is above the ground floor, a minimum of two accessible elevators must serve the proposed floor.� One of the accessible elevators may be a freight elevator. In cases where multiple spaces are offered within the same building, the Government reserves the right to select the spaces that will be acceptable and reject the others. Space must be asbestos-free, mold-free, and free of water intrusions.� Any space offered with a history of asbestos, water intrusion or mold growth will require additional evaluation by SSA�s Office of Environmental Health and Occupational Safety (OEHOS) before it can be solicited.� Radon concentration in the air within the offered space shall be less than the EPA residential radon action level of 4 PicoCuries per liter. Lessor shall test for radon using EPA-approved methods and certify the results to the GSA Contracting Officer upon award. Parking and Public Transportation SSA requires sufficient general parking as specified by local code requirements.� SSA requests that, due to budgetary costs, the cost of this parking be included as part of the rental consideration.� In some instances, SSA will request parking for carpools, disabled employees, and in and out parking for employee use and for program purposes.� All parking areas shall be asphalt or concrete.� On-site parking areas shall be striped and/or repainted every five years.� They shall be paved with a concrete curb and graded to provide adequate site drainage. �The lot design must consider snow removal and snow storage requirements. The parking-to-square-foot ratio available on-site shall at least meet current local code requirements, or, in absence of a local code requirement, on-site parking shall be available at a ratio of 1 space for every 200 RSF of Government-demised area. Sufficient parking and access for disabled persons consistent with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) must be available based on the needs of our customers.� In those locations where on?site parking is not available, parking for the disabled must be located within the same block.� Determinations of sufficient parking and access will be made by SSA. When public transportation is available, passenger stops 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.� Restricted or metered parking of one hour or less within the two block area of the space does not meet SSA parking requirements.� This is because many SSA contacts with the public cannot be completed within one hour document, shall be included in tenant improvement pricing.� Note:� Although the tenant selected the finishes for the tenant (employee) restrooms, it remains a shell cost. Offered space must meet Government requirements for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards per the terms of the Lease.� A fully serviced lease is required.� Offered space shall not be in the 100/500 year flood plain. The U.S. Government currently occupies office and related space in a building under a lease in Belle Glade, Florida, that will be expiring.� The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous.� In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternative space that potentially can satisfy the Government�s requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunication infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.
