The requirement is to provide up to 356 indoor parking spaces for ICE employees with 24/7, 365 days a year access who work in offices that are located at Potomac Center North, Washington, DC 20024. The Government has determined through market research that Jones Lang LaSalle is the only known company and is the only known agent of the property owner capable of providing the required parking spaces within close proximity. The parking is necessary for security of ICE personnel, to provide for unusual hour access, as well as parking for handicapped and Government response vehicles. The period of performance for this service is for a 12-month base period with four (4) 12-month option periods. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting ICE's requirement as stated herein may submit a capability statement, which if received within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this announcement, may be considered.
