U.S. GOVERNMENT This presolicitation notice serves to revise and clarify requirements outlined in previous presolicitation notices posted under solicitation/project No. 0VA2222. The purpose of this notice is to clarify the Government's requirement with respect to properties located in areas identified as a flood plain and explain what shall be required to illustrate that offered properties have utilities necessary for the Government's occupancy. The Government is NOT requesting offers or expressions of interest in response to this presolicitation notice. The lease contemplated by the RLP that will be issued for this project shall require the floodplain compliance in accordance with the following: FLOOD PLAINS (JUN 2012): A Lease will not be awarded for any offered Property located within a 500-year floodplain unless the Government has determined that there is no practicable alternative. An Offeror may offer less than its entire site in order to exclude a portion of the site that falls within a floodplain, so long as the portion offered meets all the requirements of this RLP. If an Offeror intends that the offered Property that will become the Premises for purposes of this Lease will be something other than the entire site as recorded in tax or other property records the Offeror shall clearly demarcate the offered Property on its site plan/map submissions and shall propose an adjustment to property taxes on an appropriate pro rata basis. For such an offer, the LCO may, in his or her sole discretion, determine that the offered Property does not adequately avoid development in a 500-year floodplain. Utilities necessary for the Government's occupancy of space shall be located within the immediate vicinity of the building or site for which an offer is submitted. Utilities must be existing, or Offeror must demonstrate to the Government's reasonable satisfaction that such utilities will exist by the Government's required occupancy date. Utilities necessary for the Government's use and occupancy of space include, but may not be limited to the following: electric; public water and sewer; and fiber optic or telecommunications lines. Offers for properties where utilities are not located on site or at the site perimeter shall include an illustration of the location of utilities and a short narrative explaining what is required to bring utilities to the site and the approximate amount of time required to do so. Additional information may be requested at the discretion of the LCO. This presolicitation notice is provided for informational purposes only. The RLP and accompanying solicitation documents shall contain the Government's complete set of requirements for this lease acquisition. When the RLP is issued by the Government for this requirement, it will be posted to the FedBizOpps website (https://www.fbo.gov) and will include accompanying solicitation documents. The RLP will not be distributed in hard copy. All presolicitation and solicitation notices for the subject project, including the RLP and accompanying solicitation documents, will be posted under project/solicitation No. 0VA2222. It is the responsibility of interested parties to monitor the FedBizOpps website for presolicitation and solicitation notices related to this procurement. Once the RLP and accompanying solicitation documents are posted to the FedBizOpps website, the solicitation provisions and other terms and conditions of the solicitation package will establish how information will be communicated from that point forward.
