Includes typical space layouts to ensure proper fit of the customer agency's
requirements, based on professional programming analysis. Provides square-foot
information for Occupancy Agreements (OAs) and pricing plans.
Program Development Study
Refines the housing plans to support the Construction Prospectus and the
initiation of the design phase.
Occupancy Agreements
GSA requires that Occupancy Agreements (OAs) be prepared for projects included in
the Capital Investment and Leasing Program (with the exception of border station
projects and projects that do not have tenant-specific components). The OA must lay
out the financial terms, conditions, and schedule under which a customer occupies
GSA-managed space. It records the choices that GSA and the customer make during
project development, shows the monthly rent bill that would result from those choices,
and memorializes the customer's commitment to the project. Please reference the
applicable Planning Call for OA submission requirements.
Pre-Planning
Maintains accurate occupancy and billing data in PBS systems to establish
a true baseline.
Feasibility Study
Creates a draft OA to demonstrate the customer agency's support for the
Site/Design Prospectus.
Program Development Study
Refines the occupancy schedule, terms, and costs associated with
customer buildouts.
Supports revisions to the final OA between GSA and the customer.
