The USACE RECRUITING FORM 1364 (10/2020) is a "Proposal to Lease Space" form for federal government RFPs. It is structured into five sections: "DESCRIPTION OF PREMISES," "SPACE AND RATES OFFERED," "LEASE TERMS AND CONDITIONS," "PROPOSAL DATA," and "OWNER IDENTIFICATION AND CERTIFICATION." The form requires detailed information about the property, including its address, ownership, leasing and property management entities, and a description of the building. It also requests specifics on the space offered, such as gross and net square footage, current occupancy ratio, and a breakdown of annual costs including base rent, common area maintenance, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and other charges. Additionally, it covers buildout costs and lease terms, including government cancellation rights and parking ratios. The form mandates attachments like lease pages, certifications, construction specifications, and floorplans. It also requires the offeror to provide evidence of their interest in the property and address critical considerations such as flood plains, seismic safety, asbestos-containing materials, fire/life safety, and accessibility. The final section includes owner identification and certification, with the offeror agreeing to lease the premises under the specified terms upon acceptance.

The document provides two certificates of authorization: a Corporate/LLC Certificate and a Partnership Certificate. Both are designed to verify that an individual signing a lease on behalf of a corporation, LLC, or partnership has the legal authority to do so. The Corporate/LLC certificate requires the name and title of the certifying individual (Secretary/principle) and the name of the person who signed the lease, affirming their authority from the governing body and within the scope of corporate/LLC powers. The Partnership Certificate requires a General Partner to certify that another General Partner who signed the lease has the authority to bind the partnership, as vested by the Partnership Agreement. Both certificates require a date and a seal, ensuring proper legal documentation in government procurement, grants, and RFPs where clear authorization for contractual agreements is essential.

This government file outlines an "Agency Agreement / Authorization for Property Manager to Act on Behalf of Owner." The document serves as a certification for lessors to confirm that their appointed agent has the legal authority to act on their behalf in all matters pertaining to a lease agreement with the government. This includes signing the lease and all related supplements or amendments, collecting payments, handling maintenance issues, and releasing the United States from its obligations under the lease. The form requires the owner to certify the property's address, the owner's name, and the agent's name, granting the agent full empowerment to manage the lease and property as requisite. This document ensures that the agent signing the lease has the proper authorization, adding a layer of legal assurance for government leasing activities.

The GSA FORM 3518-SAM (REV 01/16) is an addendum for System for Award Management (SAM) representations and certifications for leasehold acquisitions, relevant for federal government RFPs. It outlines specific requirements for offerors, including the applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes (e.g., 531120 for general real property leases), small business size standards (38.5 million in annual gross revenue), and a certification of SAM registration. Additionally, it addresses federal regulations concerning unpaid delinquent federal tax liabilities and felony convictions for corporations, ensuring compliance with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, and the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2014. Offerors must also provide their DUNS number, which can be obtained through Dun and Bradstreet.
