Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
The extension is necessary due to delays in acquiring replacement space, which would otherwise disrupt the operations of the North Yuba Ranger District Office. This approach also prevents significant move and replication costs associated with relocating. The justification cites statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.405 for using other than full and open competition for lease extensions. Market research indicates the negotiated rental rate is fair and reasonable. An advertisement was not required per GSAR 570.106(d) and 570.405, and no other sources expressed written interest.
Future Considerations
Should a continuing need for space exist after this extension, the Forest Service will follow applicable regulations for lease acquisition, including considering costs of moving and build-out for competitive actions.
