    The Lessor's Annual Cost Statement is a crucial document utilized by the General Services Administration (GSA) to assess expenses associated with rental properties leased by the federal government. It requires lessors to detail annual costs linked to a variety of services and utilities provided as part of the rental agreement. The form divides financial assessments into two main sections: the estimated costs of services and utilities furnished by the lessor, and the estimated costs of ownership, excluding capital charges. Key elements requested include costs for cleaning, heating, electrical, plumbing, and maintenance services, as well as salaries, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses related to property upkeep.

McCain National Defense Authorization Act of 2019, which prohibits agencies from contracting with entities that use covered telecommunications equipment or services. Offerors must complete a representation to confirm whether they will or will not provide such equipment or services in their proposals. They are required to undertake reasonable inquiry to assess their usage of covered equipment and disclose necessary information if they respond affirmatively. This includes details on the manufacturers, equipment specifications, and intended use. The guidelines aim to ensure procurement integrity and security while preventing the inclusion of potentially harmful technology in federal contracts. The structure of the document includes definitions, a prohibition section, procedures for checking affected entities, and detailed disclosure requirements for Offeror representations, framing it within the parameters of federal RFPs and grant processes for accountability and compliance.

The agreement stipulates that if a lease is secured, the broker will receive a commission of 4% of the Aggregate Lease Value. This value encompasses all rental costs due during the initial lease term, excluding certain abatements and additional payments. The commission will be split into two payments: half upon lease award and the other half upon tenant occupancy or lease commencement. Both parties agree to confidentiality regarding financial information and hold each other harmless against claims from other brokers. Any modifications to the agreement require written consent.
