Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking Expressions of Interest to lease 1,100 to 1,265 ABOA SF of office and flex space in Mount Vernon, Illinois. This presolicitation is for a 15-year full term, with a 10-year firm term, to accommodate a U.S. Government agency. Expressions of Interest are due by May 27, 2026.
Scope of Space Requirements
The required space must be contiguous and above-ground on one floor. A key requirement is a secured parking area for 7 vehicles, each 10' wide by 28' deep, within an approximate 3,000 sq ft area (including circulation), with controlled access. If outdoors, the parking must include a 7' tall chain link fence with a 12' wide access gate and be asphalt or paved.
A critical consideration is the avoidance of conflicts of interest due to the agency's mission. Proposed spaces must have reasonable separation from neighboring tenants in regulated industries such as foods, drugs, medical devices, and tobacco products. Interested parties must submit a list of neighboring tenants for evaluation.
The offered space must comply with Government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability, and must not be located in a 100-year flood plain. A fully serviced lease is required.
