If upper floor space is offered, elevator service must consist of a minimum of two handicap accessible elevators (one may serve as a freight elevator). Space configuration shall be conducive to an efficient systems furniture layout. Consideration for an efficient layout will include, but will not be limited to the following: size and number of columns, column placement, bay depths, window size and placement, convector size and placement, electrical and telephone accessibility, any angles, curves or offsets that will result in an efficient use of space. Columns must be at least 20 feet apart (center to center) and 20 feet from any interior wall and be no more than one foot square. The following space configurations will not be considered: space with atriums or other areas interrupting contiguous space; extremely long or narrow runs of space; irregularly shaped space configurations or other unusual building features adversely affecting usage. Sites which are located directly on a highway or 6-lane thoroughfare shall not be considered in the following instances: (1) if the two directions of traffic are separated by a physical barrier or traffic indicator which does not permit access from either direction within a block; (2) if the location access is directly from a highway, unless there is a traffic control device within two blocks or equivalent from the proposed office space. Location must be as convenient to the visiting public as possible. Primary consideration in selecting boundaries will be accessibility by public and private transportation for the greatest number of people in the service area. Offered space must meet or be upgraded to meet the Government requirements for fire safety, accessibility, seismic and sustainability standards per the terms of the Lease. A fully serviced lease is required. Offered space shall not be in the 100 or 500 year flood plain unless determined by the Government to be the most practical alternative.
