PARKING

-Secured parking spaces are required for 19 government vehicles.

-The government requires a parking garage with a secure fenced/divided area or on-grade lot within a  secure fenced area.

-Access to the parking area is required at all times (24-hours per day). 

-Any deviation from this requirement will require a review of the specific location by the ATF Physical Security Branch.

-A waiver may be considered if the market area does not have any locations that can provide a secure parking garage or secure fenced parking.

These factors may be acceptable but may not pose an unacceptable risk of surveillance of Government facilities or operations. The Government will assess the security of Government operations during the site selection/market survey process. The determination of the acceptance of locations where easy surveillance of Government facilities creates an unacceptable security risk to operations is within the sole discretion of the Government.

Offered space must meet Government requirements for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards per the terms of the Lease.  A fully serviced lease is required.  Additionally, a Lease will not be awarded for any offered Property located within a 100-year floodplain unless the Government has determined that there is no practicable alternative. As such, all sites will be evaluated using GSA and the Agency’s requirements, and for any eligible sites meeting those requirements, they shall remain eligible until final offers are due; at that time GSA can determine if there are practicable alternatives outside of the 100 year floodplain.

Entities are advised to familiarize themselves with the telecommunications prohibitions outlined under Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).  ).  For more information, visit: https://acquisition.gov/FAR-Case-2019-009/889_Part_B.
