3. If the real estate contract is a lease, a description of any options to renew the primary
lease term set forth above, the contract amount for the primary lease term and each
option period (and an explanation of any difference), and a description of any options to
purchase the real property:
The proposed lease includes one option for the District to extend the primary term by 5 lease
years. The annual rental during the primary lease term is described above. The annual rental
for the extension term cannot be determined at this time, but is not anticipated to be equal to
the annual rental during the primary term. This is primarily due to the fact that the net rental
rate for the first lease year of the extension term shall be equal to the then fair market rental
rate for comparable premises in the District of Columbia, as determined by Landlord and the
District. In addition to the payment of the new net rental rate applicable to the first lease year
of the extension term, the District shall continue to pay for escalations in net rental, operating
costs and real estate taxes during the extension term, as such escalations are described in
Section 2 above. The lease does not include any option to purchase the real property.
4. A description of the real property to be acquired, developed or leased, including any
applicable improvements:
Street Address: 2201 Shannon Place, SE
Square/Lot Number: 5784 / 0901
Total RSF of Building: 250,000 RSF
Total RSF of Premises: 18,023 RSF
Description of improvements: The existing building is a 250,000 RSF multi-tenant office
building located on 60,734 square feet of land. The District’s Department of Employment
Services (“DOES”) will occupy 18,023 RSF of space within the building. The District will
also have access to 6 parking spaces for government use during the Lease Term (11
additional spaces are being made available for employee use, at no cost or expense to the
District under the lease).
5. A description of the District’s 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:
DOES currently operates the District of Columbia Infrastructure Academy (“DCIA”) at the
former Wilkinson Elementary School located at 2330 Pomeroy Road SE. While this location
2
 has provided training and services to over 1,500 District residents, the infrastructure of the
current location is not sustainable for long term use as a training center. As such, plans to
relocate DCIA to a newly constructed portion of the former Spingarn High School in Ward 5
are underway. In addition to this new facility, it is critical for DOES to maintain a satellite
DCIA center in Ward 8 to advance equity and access for Ward 8 residents, who experience the
second highest unemployment rate in the District.
Although 2201 Shannon Place, SE will serve as the new headquarters for DC Health starting
in the first quarter of 2024, there remained approximately 18,000 RSF of unoccupied,
contiguous space in the building. This Ward 8 space offers a unique opportunity to advance
DCIA’s mission by providing entry-level and advanced IT training programs. Additionally,
this location will be the only training facility in Ward 8 that has an “earn-as-you learn” program
model. These models provide high-quality training, while eliminating barriers such as food
insecurity, transportation challenges, and access to childcare. The facility will connect Ward 8
residents to various trainings in their neighborhood that can lead to industry-recognized
credentials at family sustaining wages. Increasing access to opportunities while removing
barriers in Ward 8 aligns with Mayor Bowser’s vision to give every Washingtonian an
opportunity to prosper, including those who have been historically and systemically excluded
from the District’s economic growth.
6. A description of any other contracts the proposed contract party is currently seeking or
holds with the District.
Landlord currently holds a lease agreement with the District for DC Health’s new headquarters
at 2201 Shannon Place, SE.
7. The background and qualifications of the proposed contract party, including its
organization, financial stability, personnel; performance on past or current real estate
contracts with requirements similar to those of the proposed contract; and a description
of any other contracts the proposed contract party is currently seeking:
As stated above, Landlord currently holds a lease agreement with the District for DC Health’s
new headquarters at 2201 Shannon Place, SE. Landlord has performed satisfactorily to date
under such existing lease. Landlord has no employees.
8. Expected outcomes of the proposed real estate contract:
The execution of the proposed real estate contract is expected to result in the occupancy by
DOES of the subject space for 15 Lease Years, and possibly an additional 5 Lease Years
pursuant to the extension option described above.
9. 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
the needs of the District under the proposed real estate contract.
10. ANC notice of the proposed real estate contract:
DGS provided written notice, dated July 19, 2023, to ANC 8A and Councilmember Trayon
White regarding the proposed real estate contract, as required by applicable law. The notice
provided the ANC with an opportunity to provide written recommendations regarding the
proposed contract within thirty (30) business days (such date being August 30, 2023). Pursuant
to applicable law, DGS would then give great weight to the issues and concerns raised in any
ANC recommendations and provide a written response to the ANC addressing those issues and
concerns. On July 20, 2023, the ANC requested that DGS and DOES attend the ANC’s
September meeting to discuss the proposed real estate contract (we note that the ANC did not
include any recommendations in its request). DGS reached out to the ANC numerous times
by email and telephone in order to coordinate DGS and DOES attendance at the September
meeting. However, the ANC did not respond to those attempts. DGS has since continued to
reach out to the ANC about attending a meeting to discuss the proposed contract, but the ANC
has not responded. DGS and DOES remain at the ready to attend a future ANC meeting if
requested in order to discuss the proposed contract.
11. A certification that the proposed real estate contract is within the appropriated budget
authority for the agency for the fiscal year and is consistent with the financial plan and
budget adopted in accordance with §§ 47-392.01 and 47-392.02:
The Office of the Chief Financial Officer has certified the availability of funds for the proposed
