This is intended to reduce TI cost impact and support the required post award schedule. Minimal tenant improvements meaning the offered space has an existing office build-out and building systems in place, and the anticipated work is primarily interior improvements (e.g reconfiguration of non-structural partitions, finishes, limited MEP adjustments and device relocations, and associated fire/life safety modifications as needed). The Government anticipates some construction will be necessary; however, offerors must demonstrate the ability to meet the required Post-Award Schedule to be considered technically eligible for award and as, this is a low price, technically acceptable procurement, the final evaluated price will determine the intended awardee among technically eligible offers. Post Award Schedule: The Government’s required post-award deliverables and timeframes are set forth in ‘AAAP Post Award Schedule’. An offeror's ability to meet the post award schedule requirements is material to this procurement. Submittal Requirements: The Government will evaluate these items for schedule compliance/feasibility as part of technical acceptability. Schedule Feasibility Narrative: As part of the offer, please include a narrative explaining the offeror’s assumptions, resourcing and approach for meeting each ‘Lessor Provided’ post-award deliverable timeframe in the Post Award schedule, including (as applicable) long-lead items, A/E coordination, permitting/approvals strategy, QA/QC reviews and internal review/approval cycles. The narrative must identify key risks and the offeror’s mitigation actions. The narrative must identify any anticipated scope items beyond minor reconfiguration/finishes and limited MEP device relocations that could impact the critical path or the Post Award Schedule timeframes and explain how the schedule time frames will still be met. Evidence of Capability: If identified as the Apparent Successful Offeror, the offeror must submit the following items in addition to those required by Section 3.06 of the RLP prior to award. Identification of A/E and at least two General Contractors that will participate in the bidding process (or if not yet under contract, a firm plan for engagement and a letter of commitment from the proposed firm(s).
