The U.S. Government currently occupies office and related space in a building under a lease in West, Covina, CA, that will be expiring.  The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous.  In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternative 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 telecommunication infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.

Interested respondents may include building owners and representatives with the exclusive right to represent building owners.  Representatives of building owners must include the exclusivity agreement, representation letter, listing contract or other executed agreement granting the exclusive right to represent the building owner with their response to the advertisement.

GSA is using a tenant broker to represent the Government in lease negotiations for this transaction. In no event shall a potential offeror enter into negotiations or discussions concerning a space to be leased with representatives of any Federal agency other than the authorized officers and employees of the General Services Administration (GSA) or their authorized broker representative.

Note:   Active registration in SAM is required at the time of initial offer submission.  Entities not currently registered in SAM are advised to start the registration process as soon as possible, in order to meet RLP offer deadline.
