5. A description of the Districts specific real property need associated with the proposed
real estate contract and the selection process, including the number of offerors, the
evaluation criteria, and the evaluation results, including price, technical or quality, and
past performance components:
A Request for Space (RFS) was issued by the Department of General Services (DGS) on
August 9, 2021 to building owners in all submarkets of the District of Columbia. BEGA
required a location accessible by Metro as District employees receive training at BEGAs
office. DGS received twenty-one (21) proposals in response to the RFS. The offers were
evaluated by a panel comprised of DGS personnel and members of Savills, Inc and its
subcontractor Civitas Commercial Real Estate (contractors and real estate consultants to
DGS). The evaluation panel modeled the financial terms proposed by each of the offerors
and compared the qualitative aspects of each of the proposed options based upon the criteria
set forth in the RFS. The evaluation panel created a short list of four (4) properties based on
the results of the financial and qualitative analysis, which was scored using weighted criteria
specifically designed for this requirement. The short list properties were toured by senior
staff of BEGA and the evaluation panel. Based on the tours and presentations of the four
options, the District selected the 1030 15th Street, NW option, subject to further due
diligence and negotiation of a Letter of Intent. The final decision to select 1030 15th Street,
NW was made once the District was satisfied with the economic and legal terms negotiated
in the LOI, and the projected delivery dates for the premises.

o improve workplace efficiencies and storage needs;
o enhance hearing and training rooms;
o improve public interface within the premises; and
o conform its space to the Districts current workplace standards.

parent company, Unizo Holdings Company, Limited, manages operations for its subsidiaries
consisting of 182 employees and specializes in leasing Class A office buildings and other
types of properties.
7. Expected outcomes of the proposed real estate contract:
The execution of the proposed real estate contract is expected to result in the occupancy by
BEGA of the subject space for 11 Lease Years and 4 months, and possibly an additional 5
years pursuant to the extension option described above.
8. A statement that suitable space owned by the District is not available or cannot be
reasonably renovated or altered:
3
 Based upon an evaluation of space owned by the District, there is no suitable space owned by
the District, either as-is or which can reasonably be renovated or altered, which would meet
