Jackson, Wyoming Storage Buildings

INTEREST SOUGHT The USDA Forest Service, Bridger-Teton National Forest currently occupies space and facilities on owned land in Jackson, Wyoming. Approximately 5 acres of land is up for sale to the City of Jackson. The outcome of the sale will be determined on November 6, if a bond initiative is passed to purchase the property. If the initiative is passed, the Forest Service will seek to lease approximately 6,042 rentable square feet of storage and guard station space. The proposed acreage on the initiative holds four buildings that contain the current storage and a Fire Crew station for the Bridger-Teton NF. The lease term requirement will be for 1 year with 6 automatic 1-year renewals cancellable by either party with a 90 days written notice. The space must be available for occupancy by January 1, 2013. The delineated area is north, east, and west of Mercill Ave. to the city limits of Jackson, Wyoming. The Forest Service is considering alternative space ONLY if economically advantageous. The Forest Service will use the information it receives in response to this advertisement as a basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis and to determine whether to compete the lease requirement or pursue a sole source justification to remain at its current location. In making this determination, the Forest Service will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate space that potentially can satisfy the Forest Service's requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.
