Expressions of Interest Sought

Requirement:

The United States Government currently occupies office and related space in a building under lease in Wallingford, CT, that will be expiring. The Government is seeking to lease approximately 2,012 contiguous rentable square feet of office and related space. The rentable space must yield a minimum of 1,750 contiguous ANSI/BOMA Office area square feet (OASF). The lease term requirement is for 10 years. The space must be available for occupancy by 11/02/2011. The delineated area is:

North: I-691

South: Beginning at intersection of Highland Ave and Academy Road heading east to Church Street to Barnes Road

East:  I-91

West:   Highland Ave

Other applicable requirements include:

•·       Proximity to Metrorail.

•·       Parking 7 Surface spaces.

•·  The space must meet requirements for fire-safety and handicapped access in accordance with ABAAS guidelines.

•·  Space shall be located within a prime commercial office district with attractive, prestigious, professional surroundings with a prevalence of modern design and/or tasteful rehabilitation in modern use or in an office, research, technology, or business park that is modern in design with a campus‑like atmosphere.

The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. The Government will use the information it receives in response to this advertisement as a basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis and to determine whether to compete the lease requirement or pursue a sole source justification to remain at its current location. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate 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 telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.
