Introduction and Overview
The State of Michigan, by the Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB or State), for the
Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth (DELEG or Tenant) is evaluating their space alternatives in
Kalamazoo or Portage, Michigan. Please respond to the Request for Proposal (RFP) if you (Landlord or Bidder)
have a potential location in the geographic boundaries set forth in this RFP. If you have more than one potential
location, submit separate proposals for each location.
Please review and read this package thoroughly. Your proposal should be based on the sample documents and
the requirements as detailed in this package.
Please be advised that State tax credits and incentives are administered by the Michigan Economic Development
Corporation (MEDC), who is the appropriate contact for resources and program information. The DTMB will not
accept proposals contingent upon receiving credits, incentives or other project cost inducements.
The State reserves the right to waive any irregularities or defects in any submission; to request clarifications or
additional information regarding proposals; to conduct a Best and Final Offer (BAFO); and to reject any and all
proposals at its sole discretion. The submission of this RFP does not constitute an agreement to lease with the
State. The State shall assume no liability whatsoever for any expense incurred by a Bidder in replying to this
RFP, or any development risk of a successful bidder. An agreement, if completed, shall be with the proposal
deemed to have offered the best value to the State of Michigan.
Pursuant to 1984 PA 431, as amended, (“The DMB Act”), the Department of Technology, Management and
Budget is the only agency authorized to enter into month-to-month agreements on behalf of the State of
Michigan. No individual, employee or agent of the State of Michigan has authority to bind the State without
proper authorization. Bidders are directed to section VI.4. Proposal Submission of this RFP for correct information
on proposal submission. Bidders are hereby notified that communications during the RFP process non-compliant
with the Proposal Submission guidelines may result in disqualification of a proposal.
Any release to the public of information relating in any respect to the contemplated month-to-month agreement
or any other matters set forth (i.e. advertisement, ground breaking, press releases, etc.) must have prior written
approval and be made only in the form approved by the DTMB Real Estate Division Director.
I. Space Requirements
I.1. Location: The space shall be located within one mile of the city limits of Kalamazoo or Portage. This
includes properties on either side of the street delineating the boundaries. Please identify the location of
the space by street and mailing address.
I.2. Space (Premises): The State requires approximately 4,000 – 6,000 usable square feet of warehouse
space. The State reserves the right to increase or decrease the size of this requirement by up to 10%.
Special circumstances may require more extensive program size changes.
Please verify that the Premises square footage is based upon the A.N.S.I. Z65.1 – 1996 method for
calculating space.
I.3. Parking: The State requires five (5) common parking spaces. Please describe the parking provided at
the site, including the total number of spaces available and provide detail as to how you will meet this
parking requirement.
I.4. Occupancy/Commencement: The Occupancy/Commencement Date is the latest date on which the
improvements to the Premises are substantially complete and the Landlord secures a Certificate of
Occupancy, or the Tenant begins beneficial use of the Premises. The Landlord will deliver the Premises
to the Tenant no later than November 1, 2010. Please provide an estimated time frame to build out the
Premises, if applicable.
II. Month-to-month Term
II.1. Initial Month-to-month Term: The Initial Month-to-month Term is twelve (12) months.
Please propose a fixed, or flat, rental rate for a Gross Month-to-Month Agreement: including all expenses
– taxes, insurance, janitorial services, maintenance, etc.
The State may elect to pay for utilities separately so please include a cost per square foot to reduce the
rental rate if such occurs.
II.2. Adjustments/Escalations: There will be no adjustments made to the rental consideration.
II.3. Allowances and Contributions: Please include all allowances and contributions proposed with respect
to design costs, construction, moving, and any allowance items (indicate a per square foot moving
allowance in the space provided on the Space Available Proposal (SAP) form).
II.4. Concessions: Given current market conditions, the State is very interested in acquiring market
concessions for this transaction. Any concessions, especially the timing of such, will be a major factor in
assessing proposals received. Concessions may include reduced rent, free rent, moving allowances or
any other item you are willing to incorporate into the proposal. Clearly a combination of these items may
be included also.
II.5. Cancellation: Standard cancellation requiring thirty (30) days written notice. All State month-to-
months for real property are required to contain a cancellation provision as established within the
framework of the Michigan Constitution. The attached SAP form and sample month-to-month contain
this provision.
II.6. Security Deposit: The State will not provide a security deposit.
II.7. Alternative Terms: The State may consider proposals with alternative month-to-month terms and
conditions if such are determined to be in the best financial interest of the State; however, bidders are
encouraged to respond to the specific requirements listed in this RFP, as alternative proposals may or
may not be considered. All proposed alterations from the standard form of month-to-month agreement
attached to this RFP must be clearly identified. The State must receive sufficient information to
accurately assess all proposals. The State reserves the sole and exclusive right to consider alternative
proposals, to seek proposal clarification, and to reject any and all proposals.

inquiry of the Premises. The Premises, and property on which the Premises are located, are free of any
toxic, hazardous or injurious substances as defined under Federal and State laws and regulations. The

to-month agreement, will not be altered. Proposers are directed to the attached agreement to review all
environmental requirements.
III.4. Energy Efficiency and Conservation: The following sections apply to space leased by State
Departments or Agencies, pursuant to Executive Directive 2007-22: Enhanced Energy Efficiency and
