8. Structural elements.

a. This tenant agency’s field offices typically require 70-80% open office planning, with

standardized 6’x8’ systems furniture workstations and 8’x12’ offices. For effective space

utilization, a minimum of 30’-0” o.c. between structural elements (columns, core, curtain wall,

etc.) is desired. For most efficient office layouts on window walls, mullion spacing of 5’-0” o.c.

is preferred.

Offered space must be:

• located in a quality building of sound and substantial construction as described in this

RLP;

• have a potential for efficient layout;

• be within the square footage range to be considered; and

• be in compliance with all of the Government's minimum requirements set forth herein.

For purposes of this RLP, the definition of ANSI/BOMA office area square feet is in the “Standard

for Measuring Office Area and Other Space” paragraph in the DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL TERMS section.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: To demonstrate potential for efficient layout, the offeror may be required

to provide a test fit layout at the offeror's expense when the offered space contains certain

features such as:

o narrow column spacing;

o atriums, light wells, or other areas interrupting contiguous spaces;

o extremely long, narrow runs of space;

o irregular space configurations; or

o other unusual building features.

See Section 2.01, Efficiency of Layout and Section 3.04 A-11, Due Diligence – Additional Submittals

of the RLP Form R100A for specific instructions on what is required for the test fit.

The Government will advise the offeror if the test fit layout demonstrates that the Government's

requirement cannot be accommodated within the offered space. The offeror will have the option of

increasing the ANSI/BOMA office area (usable) square footage offered, provided that it does not

exceed the maximum ANSI/BOMA office area (usable) square footage in this RLP. If the offeror is

already providing the maximum ANSI/BOMA office area (usable) square footage and cannot house the

Government's space requirements, the Government will advise the offeror that the offer is

unacceptable.

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.

Offered space shall not be in the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain (formerly referred to as
