Introduction

The District of Columbia’s Department of General Services (DGS) is seeking offers for office space that satisfy the criteria listed below.  Responsive offers, among other things, should provide space that is contiguous within one building.  The DC Public Library is the agency identified to initially occupy the proposed space.

Background

The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (MLK Library), located at 901 G St. NW, will undergo a major modernization to meet the needs of District residents.  During MLK Library’s renovation, DCPL will relocate its administrative offices.  The purpose of this Request for Space is to identify one location within contiguous space to accommodate the administrative offices.  Owners may propose one or more locations in response to this Request for Space.  However, it is the District’s intention to enter into one short term agreement for a 24,100 SF lease.
