Page 2 of 2 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA) ADVERTISEMENT FOR SUCCEEDING LEASE ACTION The Department of Veterans Affairs (Government) intends to award a succeeding lease to Commercial Land Development, Inc., under the authority of General Services Acquisition Manual (GSAM) Part 570.402. This regulation authorizes use of the sole source lease awards where it is determined that award to any other location would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that are not expected to be recovered through competition. THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR LEASE PROPOSALS- However, any party who believes it can provide a facility that would satisfy the above requirements, is invited to submit a written statement of capability to do so, with evidence to support its claim. Responses received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this advertisement. This advertisement does not obligate the Government to award to any lease contract. The Department of Veterans Affairs currently occupies clinical and related space at 40 Commerce Drive, Morgantown, WV 26501 in a lease that expires September 30, 2024. To satisfy the VA mission requirements, the current Monongalia County Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) must remain operational. Term: Estimated term is up to 5-years; up to 1-year firm term, 4-years non-firm term. Tenant Improvements: No tenant improvements will be performed under the succeeding lease award. Space Availability: The space must be available for occupancy by September 30, 2024. Rentable Square Feet: Approximately 5,186 Net Usable Square Feet (NUSF) / 6,223 ABOA / 7,000 Rentable Square Feet (RSF) of Medical Space. Location: To be considered, space must be within the following delineated area: North- River Road South- River Road East- River Road West- Dents Run Blvd, N. Dents Run Rd, I-79 The Government will consider alternative space if it is economically advantageous, and that otherwise the Government intends to pursue a sole source acquisition. In making this determination, VA will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate space that potentially can satisfy the Governments requirements as well as all costs likely to be incurred through relocating such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime. VA will consider leased space located in another existing building providing all costs mentioned above can be offset by competition. Affirmative responses to this advertisement: Interested parties are invited to submit the above notice and evidence via email to Rachael.Hallock@va.gov no later than Thursday, August 15, 2024 by 10 AM EST. Telephone responses shall not be accepted. RESPONDENTS ARE ADVISED THAT THE VA ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY TO AWARD A LEASE BASED UPON ANY AFFIRMATIVE RESPONSE TO THIS ADVERTISEMENT.
