the offered sites.
[See Appendix A for GSA
Form 3627.]
Prepare Market Survey Report
Following these site visits, the team meets to
make a recommendation for each site surveyed.
These recommendations are recorded in the
Market Survey Report and require approval or
disapproval by each member of the Market
Survey Team. The CO subsequently notifies
each participating, potential Offeror in writing of
the results of the site surveys, providing a
reason if the site was disqualified.
Advertise For Land and Construction
The remainder of this Design Guide focuses on
a new facility. Assume that an appropriate
existing facility with available space was not
found.
VA may advertise for land in the
delineated area. [Refer to Advertisement For
Land in Appendix A.]
There is also the
possibility that an appropriate parcel of land was
discovered during the course of researching the
real estate in the delineated area. The Market
Survey Team examines the land, performs, or
has performed, due diligence and approves the
land. Due diligence would include Phase 1
Environmental Assessment, a title search, and
an appraisal. The CO at that point may obtain
an Assignable Option on the land.
If land has been identified and approved and the
Assignable Option obtained, the CO will then
advertise for construction of the OPC. [Refer to
Appendix A for Advertisement For Construction.]
If the survey has shown that neither suitable
facilities nor suitable land exists within the
delineated area, the boundaries of the area are
adjusted and the market survey performed
again.
Following the successful completion of this
phase, the Lease Acquisition Team moves on
into the next phase:
Development of the
Solicitation for Offers (SFO). Tasks under that
phase are described in Section 6. A number of
activities both programming and technical must
be undertaken before the SFO can be
developed. These are described in Section 5.
