The District of Columbia’s Department of General Services (DGS) is seeking offers for a warehouse facility 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 book inventory stacks and logistics operations into a warehouse facility.  The purpose of this Request for Space is to identify one location within contiguous space to accommodate the library operations highlighted above.  Owners should propose one location in response to this Request for Space.  It is the District’s intention to enter into one short term agreement for a rentable area of 58,000 square feet.
