The amendment to Request for Lease Proposal (RLP) 1TX2620, issued by the GSA Public Buildings Service on November 5, 2024, updates the space breakdown and requirements for a facility in San Antonio, TX. It replaces Section 5.04 and Section 7.07 with a detailed table outlining the approximate space requirements for three types of spaces: Office, Light Industrial, and Warehouse.
For Offices, a total of 9,000 ABOA square feet is specified with a complete acoustical ceiling system required. The Light Industrial space, needing 8,000 square feet, mandates a minimum ceiling height of 14 feet, while the Warehouse space of 7,000 square feet requires a 20-foot clear ceiling. Acoustical ceiling systems are not necessary for the latter two types.
This amendment aims to clarify the physical and functional requirements for prospective lessors, ensuring compliance with the government’s needs for the leased property. The document ultimately reflects a strategic effort to secure suitable environments for government functions.
