The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has legislative authority to directly acquire leased office space for its operations throughout the United States. The CFTC intends to enter into a contract(s) for brokerage services to assist in lease acquisition and post lease award administration. Lease acquisition services will relate to any or all phases of the acquisition process, including assisting in planning space needs, conducting market surveys, soliciting offers from potential lessors, evaluating offers, negotiating with potential lessors, and preparing lease documents. Post lease award services may include assisting in resolving disputes with landlords, negotiating lease alterations and extensions, evaluating operating cost escalation, and subleasing space. The contractor(s) will provide services at the following locations: Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Kansas City, MO; and Minneapolis, MN. The CFTC intends to award a single contract for services at all these locations. However, if the CFTC determines that its needs are better served by awarding separate contracts for services at any or all locations, it may do so. No more than one contract will be awarded for any one location. The term of the contract(s) will be forty-eight (48) months from the date of award. The CFTC will have the right to extend the contract for six (6) additional 12-month periods. The CFTC will not pay costs, fees, or commissions for services performed by the Contractor(s). It is anticipated that the Contractor(s) will be compensated by commission or other form of payment from third parties. The CFTC anticipates issuing a Request For Proposals on or about June 22, 1999. Proposals will be due on or about July 22, 1999. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the CFTC. Posted 06/04/99 (W-SN339532). (0155)
