    This document outlines the evaluation factors for proposals regarding office space rental within a federal government context. It establishes a structured assessment with two main categories: COST (40% weight) and OPERATIONAL FACTORS (60% weight). The cost evaluation considers a fully-serviced lease, including rent and utilities, along with construction costs. The operational factors encompass various criteria, such as location, neighborhood quality, access, parking availability, and the site’s visibility. Specific elements like the layout, access hours, and compatibility with surrounding businesses are also assessed. Operational factors are further detailed, highlighting aspects such as the ease of access, parking convenience, and overall appearance of the premises. Each operational aspect is assigned a weight, indicating its importance in the overall decision-making process. The document emphasizes that all evaluation factors, combined, are roughly equal in significance to cost.
