The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to revise sections that provide requirements for acquiring leasehold interests in real property.
For clarification of content, contact Ms. Start Printed Page 30843Deborah Lague, Procurement Analyst, at (202) 694-8149. For information pertaining to status or publication schedules, contact the Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1275 First Street, 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20417, (202) 501-4755. Please cite GSAR Case 2006-G508.
On December 4, 2009, GSA published in the Federal Register at 74 FR 63704, a Proposed Rule with a request for comments. As a result, public comments were received.
GSA is amended the GSAR subpart 501.106 by removing the reference to “570.702(c)” and adding “570.802(c)” and “570.802(d)” in their place.
GSA moved advertising requirements from Part 505 to section 570.106, Advertising, Publicizing, and Notifications to Congress, since most of the guidance on advertising requirements contained in Part 505 relate to the leasing program. The changes to Part 505 have already been implemented in GSAR case 2008-G503, published in the Federal Register at 75 FR 32860, June 10, 2010.
GSA is amending the GSAR to revise GSAR Part 570, Acquiring Leasehold Interests in Real Property. In summary, GSA is amending this part to update regulatory provisions that are applicable to lease transactions; to provide sustainability guidance on implementing Executive Order 13514 and Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings; to delete the dollar value of the simplified lease acquisition threshold and instead reference Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101 for information about the threshold; and to clarify the meaning and improve the readability of this part. In addition, GSA is moving advertising requirements from Part 505 to Part 570, since most of the guidance on advertising requirements contained in Part 505 relate to the leasing program.
Overall changes were made throughout the text to change “you” to “contracting officer,” and to edit language for clarity.
GSAR 570.101(c) is revised to update the GSAR provisions that are applicable in leasing transactions. This section is revised to delete GSAM sections from the GSAR and move them to the GSAM, the non-regulatory portion of the manual.
GSAR 570.101(d) is added to explain that the FAR does not apply to leasehold acquisitions of real property and to further explain that references to the FAR in Part 570 are used as a matter of policy where the underlying statute behind the FAR provision applies to leasing or as matter of administrative convenience.
GSAR 570.102 is revised to add definitions for “ANSI/BOMA Office Area (ABOA)”, “lease acquisition,” “lease extension,” “lease renewal (option),” “succeeding lease,” and “superseding lease.” The definition for “simplified lease acquisition threshold” is revised to delete the dollar value, and instead reference FAR 2.101 for information about the threshold. The definition for “small business” is revised to delete the dollar limit for annual average gross receipts and to reference the size standard established by the Small Business Administration. Further revisions were made to include where the size standards may be found on the web. The definition of “rent and related services” is deleted because it is not used within the subpart. The definition for “space in buildings” is deleted because this definition was only referenced at 570.105-3 which is also being deleted.
GSAR 570.105-2 is re-titled, Criteria for the Use of Two-phase Design-build. GSAR 570.105-2 is revised to update the statutory reference to leasing authority. GSAR 570.105-2(c) is added to reference 570.305, where additional procedures can be found regarding two-phase design-build selections that apply to acquisition of leasehold interests.
GSAR 570.105-3 is deleted in its entirety because sealed bidding is not used in GSA leasing transactions. Since negotiations or discussions are not allowed under sealed bidding, GSA has determined that the use of negotiated acquisition procedures in real property lease acquisitions enables GSA to clarify and explain SFO requirements to more effectively address the unique elements of each property and obtain better lease pricing.
GSAR 570.106 is re-titled Advertising, Publicizing, and Notifications to Congress, and revised to incorporate advertising requirements from Part 505, because most of the exceptions to advertising requirements contained in Part 505 relate to the leasing program.
GSAR 570.106-1, Synopsis of Lease Awards, is added to incorporate synopsizing requirements of lease awards from Part 505.
GSAR 570.111 is revised to require that the inspection and acceptance document contain the ANSI/BOMA Office Area (ABOA) square footage accepted and the acceptance date.
GSAR 570.115, Novation and Change of Ownership, is added to include language stating that FAR 42.12 applies in the event of a transfer of ownership of the leased premises or a change in the lessor's legal name.
GSAR 570.117, Sustainable Requirements for Lease Acquisitions, is added to add a requirement for the contracting officer to include sustainable design requirements appropriate for the type of leasing action in the solicitations for offers, to identify the location of solicitation requirements and instructions on http://www.gsa.gov/​leasing, and to include guidance on Executive Order 13514 and the Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings.
GSAR 570.303-1 is revised to add a requirement that each Solicitation for Offers (SFO) must include sustainable design requirements.
GSAR 570.303-4 is revised to require contracting officers to re-advertise and Start Printed Page 30844reissue a solicitation when a complete revision of a solicitation is required in accordance with GSAR 570.106.
GSAR 570.306(b) is revised to require the contracting officer to review the elements of the lessor's proposed rent to analyze whether the individual elements are realistic and reflect the lessor's understanding of work to be performed. GSAR 570.306(c) is revised to add information on past performance evaluations. GSAR 570.306(f) was revised to direct the reader to important paragraphs in Part 570 concerning the evaluation of offers.
GSAR 570.404 is revised to clarify that a superseding lease may be used when market conditions warrant renegotiation of an existing lease, and to provide considerations of a cost benefit analysis.
GSAR 570.502-2 is revised to delete language referencing progress payments. This section is further revised to allow the lease contracting officer to delegate alteration contracting authority to a warranted contracting officer's representative in GSA or the tenant agency.
New section GSAR 570.6 Contracting for Overtime Services and Utilities in Leases is added to provide requirements for when overtime services and utilities are needed.
GSAR 570.601 is renumbered as 570.701 and is revised to delete the reference to the dollar value of the thresholds, and to instead provide the FAR reference because the thresholds may change. GSAR 570.601 is revised to include the following additional FAR provisions or clauses that must be included in solicitations:
52.219-28, Post-Award Small Business Program Rerepresentation (use if lease term exceeds five years),
52.232-33, Electronic Funds Transfer—Central Contractor Registration;
GSAR 570.604 is renumbered as 570.704 and is revised to delete the reference to clause 552.203-5, Covenant Against Contingent Fees, because the updated clause number is now referenced in 570.703.
GSAR 570.701 is renumbered as 570.801 and is revised to delete the instructions to omit the reference to Standard Form (SF)2-A.
The clause at 552.270-1, Instructions to Offerors—Acquisition Leasehold Interest in Real Property, is revised to add language requiring execution and delivery of a lease to effectuate contract formation. It also adds paragraph (f) to address paperwork collection information.
The provision at 552.270-3, Parties to Execute Leases, is revised to make it consistent with the instructions contained in FAR 4.102.
The clause at 552.270-7, Fire and Casualty Damage, is revised to permit the government to assess a property's condition before giving notice of termination.
The clause at 552.270-14, Changes, is revised to change “usable square foot” to “ABOA square foot,” and to specify the impact of the failure to assert a claim for a price adjustment.
The clause at 552.270-16, Adjustment for Vacant Premises, is revised to clarify when and how adjustments for vacant premises will be made.
The clause at 552.270-18, Default in Delivery—Time Extensions, is revised to update the terminology of “usable square footage” to “ABOA square footage.”
The clause at 552.270-20, Payment, is revised to update the terminology of “usable square footage” to “ABOA square footage.”
The clause at 552.270-29, Acceptance of Space, is revised to update the terminology of “usable square footage” to “ABOA square footage” and to simplify the reference to a section in the solicitation.
The following clauses were added to GSAR Part 570: 552.270-30, Price Adjustment for Illegal or Improper Activity; 552.270-31, Prompt Payment; and 552.270-32, Covenant Against Contingent Fees.
Two public comments from one respondent were received in response to the proposed rule.
Comment: One comment recommended deleting the language “and delivery” at GSAR 552.270-1(e)(7), Instructions to Offerors.
Response: Do not concur. Execution and delivery in the legal sense are both necessary elements to effectuate the contract. Absent delivery, the offeror would not know that the contract was executed and that the offeror was bound to perform.
Comment: The second comment recommended at GSAM 570.106-1(c), for the posting of a justification for other than full and open competition on the FedBizOpps website, be revised to clarify when the justification is to be posted.Start Printed Page 30845
Response: Do not concur. Justifications for other than full and open are required to be posted after award by Section 844 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, “Public Disclosure of Justification and Approval Documents for Noncompetitive Contracts”. Parties receive notice of the opportunity to express interest in the leasing action by posting of the notice required by section GSAM 570.402-2 of the proposed regulation.
In accordance with Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, dated January 18, 2011, GSA determined that this rule is not excessively burdensome to the public, and is consistent with amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to revise GSAR Part 570, Acquiring Leasehold Interests in Real Property.
The Paperwork Reduction Act does apply; however, these changes to the GSAR do not impose additional information collection requirements to the paperwork burden previously approved under OMB Control Number 3090-0086.
The Paperwork Reduction Act applies because the rule contains information collection requirements. Accordingly, the Regulatory Secretariat has forwarded a request to receive approval of the new information collection requirement concerning GSAR Case 2006-G508, Acquiring Leasehold Interests in Real Property, to the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
At 570.702(d), the contracting officer may use GSA Form 1217, Lessor's Annual Cost Statement, to obtain pricing information regarding offered services and lease commissions.
Therefore, GSA amends 48 CFR parts 501, 552, and 570 as set forth below:
