- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a revised Request for Quotations (RFQ) for leased office space that will house NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) employees. The Government?s baseline requirements are required submittals in the Offeror?s proposal in order for the proposal to be considered for further evaluation. The Government?s value characteristics, or trade-offs, are not required characteristics in the Offeror?s proposal; however, they are highly encouraged. The Government contemplates a firm fixed price contract. The lease will be twelve month period of performance with two, three month options for a total of an eighteen month potential period of performance. BASELINE REQUIREMENTS: The building shall have a minimum of 8,000 available square feet on one floor. The building shall provide a combination of open space and at least ten single offices, with one conference room seating at least 50 people. The building shall be open to NASA employees from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm seven days a week. Parking spaces shall accommodate approximately 50 people. The office space shall be identified, at a minimum, as CLASS C office space. CLASS C space is a classification used to described buildings that generally qualify as older buildings offering basic space and command lower rents or sale prices compared to other buildings in the same market. Such buildings typically have below-average maintenance and management, and could have mixed or low tenant prestige, inferior elevators, and/or mechanical/electrical systems. These buildings lack prestige and must depend chiefly on a lower price to attract tenants and investors. Price proposal which includes a firm fixed price for the basic twelve month lease with separate pricing for each of the two, three month option periods. VALUE CHARACTERISTICS: Size of the office space: Consideration will be given to proposed buildings with available space in excess of 8,000 square feet with a maximum of 14,000 available square feet on one floor. Space configuration of the office space: Consideration will be given to proposed buildings that offer at least 8,000 square feet of contiguous available space. Number of Single offices: Consideration will be given to the number of single offices in excess of ten offices. Number of Conference rooms: Consideration will be given to the number and seating limit of conference rooms in excess of the baseline requirement of 50 people. Number of available Parking spaces: Consideration will be given to the number of parking spaces in excess of 50 spaces. Classification Type of Building CLASS B office space: Consideration will be given to CLASS B office space. CLASS B space is a classification used to describe buildings that generally qualify as a more speculative investment, and as such, command lower rents or sales prices compared to CLASS A properties. Such buildings offer utilitarian space without special attractions, and have ordinary design, if new or fairly new; good to excellent design if an older non-landmark building. These buildings typically have average to good maintenance, management and tenants. They are less appealing to tenants than Class A properties, and may be deficient in a number of respects including floor plans, condition and facilities. They lack prestige and must depend chiefly on a lower price to attract tenants and investors. CLASS A office space: Consideration will be given to CLASS A office space. CLASS A space is a classification used to describe buildings that generally qualify as extremely desirable investment-grade properties and command the highest rents or sale prices compared to other buildings in the same market. Such buildings are well located and provide efficient tenant layouts as well as high quality, and in some buildings, one-of-a-kind unique floor plans. These buildings contain modern mechanical systems, and have above-average maintenance and management as well as the best quality materials and workmanship in their trim and interior fittings. They are generally the most attractive and eagerly sought by investors willing to pay a premium for quality. IT Cost Considerations: 1. Line of Sight: Consideration will be given to proposals that have an unobstructed clear line of sight from the roof of the facility to the roof of Building 45 (the second tallest building on the JSC campus). This will allow for wireless communications. 2. North Side of NASA Parkway: Consideration will be given to proposed buildings that are located on the north side of NASA Parkway. This will allow compatibility with other Government communications systems. 3. Copper Wiring: Consideration will be given to proposals that have existing Category 5 copper cabling. This will allow for installation of JSC workstations and phones. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Once leased, the property may undergo minor modifications such as moved walls, doors, electrical outlets, and installation of security systems to accommodate the needs of NASA JSC. Any prohibitions or restrictions against such modifications shall be expressly stated in the proposal. The Government intends to view the proposed property after receipt of proposals. Dates and times will be determined with the Offerors after receipt of proposals. INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL PREPARATION: Proposals must address, at a minimum, all baseline requirements, including the following pricing information: Proposal prices shall be identified for the twelve month base period and each three month option. Prices shall include additional elements that comprise the square footage price such as, but not limited to, overhead, management fees, janitorial fees and utilities. A description detailing such elements shall be included in the proposal. In addition, Offerors shall submit a floor plan clearly identifying the proposed available space. Proposals must be submitted to the contracting activity identified below by 3 PM CDT 4/16/07: NASA JSC Attn: Maria Alberty/BJ3 2101 NASA Parkway Houston, TX 77058 EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS: Selection and award will be made to that offeror whose offer will be most advantageous to the Government, with consideration given to price and other factors considered in the RFQ.
