The Offeror shall propose an occupancy date between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015. The Government reserves the right to require and accept phased occupancy, depending on the components and schedule(s) proposed by the Offeror and the requirements of the Government. Offerors shall be required to demonstrate receipt of all required site plan permit approvals prior to award (anticipated during the 4 th Quarter of Calendar Year 2011); and Offerors shall be required to receive all required base building construction or renovation permits no later than December 31, 2012 as part of a proposed space delivery schedule for all proposed space to be completed and ready for Government inspection no later than December 31, 2015. The Government will consider space within existing buildings and existing lease locations to satisfy these requirements. The Government will also consider space within new buildings under construction or to be constructed that, in the opinion of the Government, can provide occupancy consistent with the Offerors' proposed occupancy date(s). The Government will consider all offers which meet the minimum requirements for one (1) or more agency group and provide a substantive schedule demonstrating delivery of the proposed space within the period specified. The Government may choose to enter into multiple leases, with multiple Offerors, to satisfy this requirement.

Multiple buildings and / or multiple offers that meet these provisions and satisfy the entire requirement will be evaluated as a single location. Offerors may submit an Expression of Interest for any combination of space to house Agency A, B and / or C, and agencies may be proposed at separate locations under the same offer. Any offer proposing to meet less than the entire requirement may be "assembled" with other offers at the Government's sole discretion to determine which assemblage of offered buildings best meets the entire requirement. Assembled offers which conform to the definition of one (1) "location" (above) will be evaluated as a single location even if they are submitted by multiple Offerors. Offers will be evaluated based upon pre-determined technical criteria. An award will be made to a single Offeror or to a self-identified combined offer, or multiple awards will be made to multiple Offerors as assembled by the Government that meet the entire requirement based upon a Best Value Trade-Off source selection methodology. Offered buildings will be reviewed and evaluated for completeness and the ability to satisfy the requirement(s) and meet all of the minimum technical requirements based upon the following criteria: All submissions must offer space for at least one (1) entire agency component.
