SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The General Services Administration has various mission 
responsibilities related to the acquisition, management, and disposal 
of real and personal property. These mission responsibilities include 
developing requirements, solicitation of lease offers and the award of 
real property lease contracts. Individual solicitations and resulting 
contracts may impose unique information collection/reporting 
requirements on contractors, not required by regulation, but necessary 
to (1) evaluate whether the physical attributes of offered properties 
meet the Government's requirements and (2) evaluate the owner/offeror's 
price proposal. The approval requested includes four versions of the 
GSA Form 1364; GSA Forms 1364, 1364A, 1364A-1, and 1364WH. These forms 
are used to obtain information for offer evaluation and lease award 
purposes regarding property being offered for lease to house Federal 
agencies. This includes financial aspects of offers for analysis and 
negotiation, such as real estate taxes, adjustments for vacant space, 
and offeror construction overhead fees.
    A total of seven lease contract models have been developed to meet 
the needs of the national leased portfolio. Three of these lease models 
require offerors to complete a GSA Form 1364 and two require a GSA Form 
1217. The GSA Form 1364 versions require the submission of information 
specifically aligned with certain leasing models and avoids mandating 
submission of information that is not required for use in evaluation 
and award under each model. The GSA Form 1217 requires the submission 
of information specific to the services and utilities of a building in 
support of the pricing detailed under GSA Form 1364. The forms relate 
to individual lease procurements and no duplication exists.
    The Global Lease model uses the GSA Form 1364. The 1364 captures 
all rental components, including the pricing for the initial tenant 
improvements. The global nature of the 1364 provides flexibility in 
capturing tenant improvement pricing based on either allowance or 
turnkey pricing, as required by the solicitation.
    The Simplified Lease Model uses the GSA Forms 1364A and 1364A-1. 
This model obtains a firm, fixed price for rent, which includes the 
cost of tenant improvement construction. Therefore, leases using the 
Simplified model do not include post-award tenant improvement cost 
information on the form. The 1364A includes rental rate components and 
cost data that becomes part of the lease contract and that is necessary 
to satisfy GSA pricing policy requirements.
    The 1364A-1 is a checklist that addresses technical requirements as 
referenced in the Request for Lease Proposals. The 1364A-1 is separate 
from the proposal itself and is maintained in the lease file; it does 
not become an exhibit to the lease. The 1364A-1 may contain proprietary 
offeror information that cannot be released under the Freedom of 
Information Act.
    The Warehouse Lease Model uses GSA Form 1364WH. This model is 
specifically designed to accommodate the special characteristics of 
warehouse space and is optimized for space whose predominant use is for 
storage, distribution, or manufacturing. The 1364WH captures building 
characteristics unique to warehouse facilities and allows for 
evaluation of offers based on either area or volume calculations.
    The Global and Warehouse Lease Models use the GSA Form 1217. GSA 
Form 1217 captures the estimated annual cost of services and utilities 
and the estimated costs of ownership, exclusive of capital charges. 
These costs are listed for both the entire building and the area 
proposed for lease to the Government, broken down into specific 
categories.

collection of information is necessary; whether it will have practical 
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection

methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
