The U.S. Government, by and through USACE, currently occupies a communication tower space and related space in a building under a lease in the city and state specified above, that will be expiring. The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternative space that potentially can satisfy the Government’s requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunication infrastructure, non-productive agency downtime, and costs, including rent, related to vacating the current location prior to lease termination.

The Government’s desire is for a lease to include base rent, CAM, and electricity for a communication tower space for a lease term of five (5) years, and termination rights for the Government and location within the delineated area specified above. Non-exclusive parking for government vehicles must be provided 24 hours 7 days. Offered space must meet Government requirements per the terms of the Government Lease. Interested respondents may include property owners and representatives with the exclusive right to represent property owners. Representatives of property owners must include the exclusivity granting the exclusive right to represent the building owner with their response to this advertisement.
